Reflections of Intensive Care Nurses' Experiences of Facing Death on Their Existential Transformation and Meaning‐Making Processes: A Descriptive Phenomenological Study

The findings of this study demonstrate that intensive care nurses' experiences of confronting death have significant existential implications at both personal and professional levels. These results highlight the importance of implementing reflective and meaning-centred interventions, providing death awareness training and fostering a culture of existential safety within intensive care teams. In clinical practice, integrating existentially oriented education, psychosocial support mechanisms and spiritual counselling services into nursing care can strengthen nurses' emotional resilience and enhance the overall quality of patient care.
