A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used to explore the participants' experiences. Data were collected through a combination of observation and in-depth interviews with nurses, physicians and hospital chaplains recruited from two intensive care units (ICUs) in a Norwegian university hospital. A thematic analysis was used to analyse the data, and three main themes emerged from this analysis: crucial timing, challenging conversations and conflicting expectations. The results revealed that the situation was of a sensitive nature and that finding the best possible time to address the issue in a meaningful manner was a challenge. Respect for the patients' wishes and the families' decisions were an expressed value among the participants, but conflicting expectations about bringing up the subject were also present. This study contributes to the understanding of healthcare professionals' challenges when they are facing brain death as an inevitable outcome of a patient's clinical condition and must approach families on the subject of organ donation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
