Nursing Support of Home Hospice Caregivers on the Day of Patient Death.

CONCLUSIONS: Nurses support caregivers on the day of patient death using multiple supportive communication strategies. Spiritual discussions are minimal.
. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Communication skills programs can potentially increase self-reported communication effectiveness. Emerging acute spiritual concerns, particularly for caregivers without a previous religious affiliation, should be anticipated. Spiritual support is included in the hospice model of holistic care.
