Abstract:

The article examines whether death is still a taboo subject in palliative care. Evidence shows that communicating openly about death and dying makes it more convenient to come to terms with. It is said that community nurses still support patients to reframe the life before them. Patients are encouraged to plan in advance through advanced care planning for their preferences around care and death.
