Death is an inevitable end that every human must undergo at some point in one’s existence in this planet earth. When it comes, it is expected just as it was done at the birth of the person, that adequate care be given as well. The onus then lies on nurses and other caregivers to offer a special professional care to the deceased patient.
The focus of this project was to produce an educational material for SAMK nursing students on how to take care of deceased patient. In the material is explained in details step-by-step nursing procedures involved in taking care of a dead body, and to also unravel what nurses do, when and how in providing last nursing care to the patient, as well as offering support to the family through effective communication.
The study adopts Power Point presentation in nursing practice. Power Point is an instructive tool for educating and conveying materials in classes. Power Point can enhance teaching and learning session, equipping you to utilize illustrations and other sight and sound to explain understanding and to help diverse learning styles. The study adopts an in-depth description of the all-encompassing and collaborative nursing care for a deceased patient up to the time of interment. This implies that once a patient is ascertained dead, the patient’s last moments must be accurately recorded in the patient information system (such information includes death certificate, funeral permit, relatives’ contact etc.).
The quality of the educational material created was evaluated by giving out a closed-ended e-questionnaire to both SAMK nursing students and teachers for rating. The feedbacks gotten from the questionnaires were analyzed using coding in Excel worksheet and finally presented in a Pie Chart to derive a conclusion.
Thus, the laid down procedures examined in this project will enhance the knowledge of nursing students on clinical work on the nursing care and procedures required after the death of a patient, and also kindle the interest of other health practitioners and care givers who may wish to carry out further researches on the topic or other related topics.
