本研究旨在探討安寧護理人員對臨終病患死亡焦慮之回應。研究者以參與觀察及深度訪談於研究場域收集田野文本，以詮釋現象學為研究方法，進行以存在心理為主要觀點之分析。本文嘗試揭露臨終病人死亡焦慮於病身處境之種種形貌及其意義，並詮釋安寧護理人員對此從照顧到陪伴的回應模式。 安寧護理人員的回應如何做到從照顧到陪伴，主要來自於護理人員覺察其在照顧上「做」的極限困境，藉由對存在之自我反省、轉悟以及內斂的過程，將默會的存有知識轉化為一種「在」的陪伴品質。 This research aimed at presenting hospice nurses’ response on the death anxiety of terminal patients. The author collected field text by participating observation and in-depth interview. With interpretive phenomenology as research method, the text is analyzed mainly based on existential psychology. This paper is trying to expose patients’ death anxiety at various embodiment and its meaning within their own terminal context. The nurses’ responses are interpreted as a process from caring to sharing. How hospice nurses’ response can accomplish the process from caring to sharing? It starts from when hospice nurses are aware of their capability limit of “doing” while caring terminal patient. Through self reflection, transformation, and internalization of their being, this tacit knowledge turned into quality sharing of their “being”.
