I interviewed three registered nurses and analyzed the results with Qualitative Synthesis method (KJ method). The analysis revealed Nurse was focusing on the feelings of the very old patients, which are difficult to comprehend by mere superficial expression. She was found to be interpreting the expressions of dementia professionally and analyzing what they really mean in the contexts of terminal care. Nurse was probing the understanding level of the family members by assessing the distance between them and the patients in order to coordinate communication with physicians. Nurse was capturing the old patients’ desire to eat well, to go home, and to make decisions enabling them to relate these feelings to the physicians. These findings suggest that it is empirical to understand the fact that very old patients tend to become clumsy in expressing themselves as they physically and mentally deteriorate with aging even if they are not yet diagnosed as technically demented. It was obvious that nurses have been making subconscious clinical decision by recognizing this feature and coordinating the communications between family members and physicians. This study also revealed that nurses are picking up the clues to assist the patients by fully understanding what they or their family members wish; and this can only be achieved by always honoring the dignity of death of the very old patients as well as providing the care that will be remembered by the loved ones., 原著}, pages = {1--12}, title = {超高齢者の終末期医療における家族の代理意思決定に対する看護師の臨床判断}, volume = {14}, year = {2015}, yomi = {ヤノ, マリ} }
