- - Cardiac arrest (CA) significantly contributes to global mortality, with many deaths in intensive care units resulting from neurological injuries after out-of-hospital incidents, often leading to the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment based on prognosis.
- - Post-cardiac arrest (P-CA) guidelines emphasize the need to avoid overly negative prognostic predictions, acknowledging that while prognosticators aim to minimize risks, achieving 100% accuracy in predictions is still impossible, creating uncertainty in patient outcomes.
- - The use of prognosticators is seen as a professional strategy to navigate risks associated with P-CA prognostication, balancing the medical obligation to provide accurate forecasts with the complexities of uncertainty, reflecting a technical approach to addressing inherent professional
Objective: To explore the nurse-volunteer relationship in a day hospice.
Method: Underpinned by an interpretive approach, face-to-face semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 day hospice volunteers.
