Abstract: | Medical personnel often and closely meet with death, they need professional training and sociocultural presuppositions that should get intensified during their practice. Physical nearness and contact with a dying person do not necessarily have to mean a real closeness and understanding. The social aspect is absent above all in searching for the cultural ritual of our time, which is also mirrored in self-reflection of nurses at their contact with a death. There is missing education of the general public and although experts have been trying hard, this matter is still a taboo. |
