Convergent-Parallel, End-of-Life Care, Mixed Method, Standard of CareAbstract
This research aimed to investigate the concept of end-of-life care from the viewpoint of Tedurays as the recipients of care and nurses as the givers of care, employing a convergent parallel mixed method design. The research was carried out in Upi, Maguindanao, involving 31 participants in the quantitative phase and 12 individuals in the qualitative phase (6 Tedurays; 6 nurses). The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Pearson-r test of correlation, while the qualitative data underwent analysis utilizing Collaizi’s method of interpretation. The quantitative and qualitative findings were merged using methodological triangulation to ascertain convergence. The quantitative findings of the study indicate a strong positive correlation (r = .87, p = .000) between the standard of care rendered by nurses and the experience of peaceful end-of-life care among Tedurays. Additionally, two overarching themes emerged in the qualitative data analysis: (1) the cultivation of compassionate care to enhance patient well-being through cultural sensitivity and family engagement, and (2) the empowerment of compassionate healthcare through the exploration of challenges, solutions, and personalized pathways. After merging quantitative and qualitative findings, the meta-themes that emerged are as follows: (1) nurses’ provision of positive support in facilitating a peaceful end-of-life journey; and (2) the importance of pain management in ensuring a peaceful end-of-life care experience. The findings of this study highlights the significant relationship between the standards of care provided by nurses and the end-of-life experience among the Tedurays. It is evident that the quality of nursing care directly influences the overall end-of-life journey of individuals in this cultural groups. Nurses emerge as crucial facilitators in ensuring dignified and holistic end-of-life experiences.
