ABSTRACT

Not many people feel comfortable talking about death, but when you’re taking care of a patient who is under heavy sick at any age or when the very close for dying it becomes necessary and beneficial to communicate clearly. Communication is a really fundamental component of nursing in the provision of end of life care. Some people feel uncomfortable talking about their heavy sick or when they very close for dying or death, but when you’re taking care of a patient who is dying it becomes necessary and beneficial to communicate clearly, and therefore it is essential to open up these conversations.

Preparing for” end of life CARE” period requires numerous adjustments for both the patient person and their family or far-near relationships. Cultural and etnic issues, kind of disability and at any age can influence this process so differently and in mortality. We can help by recognizing the losses that patients and families may face. Don’t forget that it is highly complex to diagnose dying or death, which leads to missed opportunities with families and risk of complicated grief.

Most common heavy disease and dying causes are sudden death in young ages or unexpected time and places, mostly terminal illness, organ failure and frailty when getting older times.

The aim of this paper to understand and discuses why patients are feel and need really different types communicational sharing in  before or during too heavy sick or dying end-of-life. In addition that it known very well that Cultural factors and meta-communicational actors are strongly influence patients' reactions to serious illness and decisions about “end-of-life CARE”. Because of the conversations about “end-of-life CARE”issues are hard, but necessary. Patients, family members, and healthcare professionals should all realize that talking about “end-of-life CARE” concerns does not mean giving up hope only. Instead, it alleviates worries such as guardianship of children, funeral arrangements, and hospice care. If people are having trouble talking about on these issues, they can talk to social workers or counselors.
