Abstract
In response to coronavirus disease 2019 patient care requirements and clinical staff shortages, radiology nurses are being reassigned to directly or indirectly support hospital patient care in medical/surgical, critical care, and emergency room settings. Through this reassignment, radiology nurses have become witnesses to and/or caregivers for dying patients. Being with and caring for the dying is a unique and profoundly spiritual experience, which may result in the radiology nurses unexpectedly experiencing grief and loss. Using relationship-based care theory, the author proposes PACE as a person-centric, relational mindset, and communication model, explores the significance of providing end-of-life spiritual care, and highlights the profound implications of grief and loss for the radiology nurse.
