Death, Palliative Care, NursingAbstract
The objective is to provoke reflection on the process of death and dying and the necessary care associated with this phase of the life of people who
experience death and their families, aiming to contribute to the debate of education for death and humanization of the process of death and dying.
Death is a phase of life and is present in health professionals’ daily life, but the healthcare model has not been effective in dealing with the demands
of people in situation of death and their families. There are many challenges to be faced in vocational training, such as limitations in curricula and
the multicultural approach to death. The teaching of technological and scientific aspects has been privileged, with little space for approaching the
emotional, spiritual and social aspects of the human being. It is necessary to talk more about death and the dying process in order to increase
knowledge about this theme and the acquisition of professional skills to deal with relatives and end-of-life care situations, with death in daily care
and with the professionals who experience such care experiences.
