The lived experience of palliative homecare nurses in Singapore.
Journal Title: Singapore Medical Journal - Year 2011, Vol 52, Issue 3
Abstract
Homecare nurses had been and still are the backbone of palliative care services in Singapore. Although extensively documented by overseas researchers, the local perspective of their identity has not been evaluated. We aimed to uncover the lived experience of palliative homecare nurses so as to understand the meaning and interpretation of their experience of being homecare nurses.
