Abstract

To explore haematological nurses' experiences about the palliative care trajectories of patients with life-threatening haematological malignancies. A qualitative study with a descriptive and explorative design. Data were collected through 12 individual semi-structured interviews of nurses who work with patients with haematological malignancies from four hospitals in Norway. The data were analysed using systematic text condensation. The study was reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist. Three categories emerged from the data analysis: focus on a cure delays integration of palliative care, dialogue with patients facilitates palliative care and the need for enhanced interdisciplinary understanding. No patient or public contribution since nurses' experiences were explored.
