Experiences of intensive care unit nurses in end-of-life care at Ho Teaching Hospital, Ghana: a qualitative study

This study highlights the importance of improving intensive care nursing practices, including staffing, equipment availability, specialized training, and mental health support. These improvements can enhance care quality and nurse retention while also reducing burnout and emotional distress. Empowering frontline nurses and implementing evidence-based interventions can further improve care quality. The study recommends that policymakers should consider integrating EOL care modules into ICU nurses' continuing professional development, establishing mandatory staff counselling programs, and prioritizing resource allocation to critical care units.
