Critical incidents can therefore only be identified retrospectively. The incident may have a positive effect or, conversely, it may be something that causes harm or suffering. While reflection and analysis of critical incidents is widely regarded as a valuable learning tool for nurses, its use in palliative care has not received such extensive acceptance. This paper uses the critical incident technique as a means of structured reflection to discuss the problems facing student nurses in the healthcare system of Cyprus when caring for a dying patient. It draws upon the relevant literature to examine specific problems faced by student nurses when dealing with patients with cancer. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/3851 | ISSN: | 2052286X | DOI: | 10.12968/ijpn.2009.15.4.41969 | Rights: | © Mark Allen Healthcare | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
