Abstract

Nurses are almost always present at birth and at death. The aim was to describe the similarities in nursing care between birthing and end-of-life patients under a humanistic and holistic caring perspective, focusing on pain management, anxiety and stress reduction, self-care and empowerment, and emotional and family support.
