: End-of-Life Care Experiences of Healthcare Staff in the Emergency Department - A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study.

Care in the emergency department focuses significantly on delivering lifesaving/ life-sustaining clinical actions, often with limited attention to health-related suffering even at the end-of-life.
