“…Individuals can experience the different phases, at various times, without necessarily following a linear order, or not experiencing any of the phases [ 48 ]. Identifying and understanding the characteristics of each of these five phases helps health professionals, family members, and above all the sick individual himself to understand the process [ 53 ].…”

This study explored the meanings and experiences of patients with terminal chronic diseases and their caregivers, who face the imminence of death in the home environment after hospital discharge. The qualitative study used constructivist grounded theory. The participants were individuals with a terminal chronic illness, discharged to home, and their family caregivers. Data were gathered from in-depth interviews and field notes, and a comparative analysis was conducted to identify categories and codes, according to Charmaz’s theory. The sample consisted of 21 participants. Three inter-related data categories emerged: “Floating between acceptance and resistance: Perceiving the proximity of death”, “Analysing the end from other perspectives: it is in the encounter with death that life is understood” and “Accepting the path: between the love of letting go and the love of wanting to stay”. The categories translate the reconstruction of those facing end-of-life occurring in the home environment. It is amid the imminence of death that life gains intensity and talking about the finitude of life configures an opportunity to see life from other perspectives. Giving voice to individuals facing the mishaps of a terminal illness fosters the path to a comfortable death. For health professionals, it is an opportunity to provide structured and humanized care with an ethical attitude, in defence of human dignity.

Aim: This study was conducted to determine emotional changes in hospitalized patients in the COVID-19 ward based on the Kubler-Ross theory. Background: Humans exhibit different behaviors in response to crises. COVID-19, as a health crisis, was accompanied by widespread changes in the behavior of patients. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2021 using a census method on 139 hospitalized patients in the COVID-19 ward of the 22 Bahman Hospital in Khorramshahr, Iran. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire to determine the stages of change in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software and one-sample t-test, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc test, and Pearson correlation coefficient at a significant level of 0.05. Results: The minimum age was 27 and the maximum age was 67 years. The levels of denial were moderate, while anger and bargaining were lower than average, and depression and acceptance were higher than average. The average denial, anger, and depression scores in male patients were significantly higher than those in female patients (p < 0.001). There was a significant negative correlation between denial and anger scores and age (p < 0.001) and a significant positive correlation between acceptance and age (p = 0.03). Conclusion: Since contracting COVID-19 and hospitalization in COVID-19 wards are associated with various behavioral changes, screening patients for behavioral changes is recommended to health policymakers and managers. Understanding these changes can help accurately diagnose and effectively treat these patients.
