The article focuses on the impact of death anxiety on palliative nursing. It talks about the the presence of death taboo in Western societies and how it can negatively impact well-being. It suggests that palliative care professionals can suffer greater levels of death anxiety due to being exposed to the death of patients under their care and how it reduces resilience and the ability to handle stress, and thus lead to burnout or compassion fatigue.
