Peaceful End of Life Nursing Theory

The Peaceful End of Life theory (PEOL) is classified as a medium-range theory. It was developed in 1998 by Cornelia Ruland and Shirley Moore.

This middle-range theory is more circumscribed and substantially specific, allowing's nursing professionals to discover the complexity of caring for a terminally ill patient and how they can contribute to a quiet end of life.

This middle-range theory does not address each metaparadigm concept. The theory explicitly explains nursing and person.

Person: The experiences and felling at the end of life are personal and individualized.

Nursing: Nursing care is crucial to understand the end-of-life patients' experiences. Their interventions are essential to maintain a peaceful experience appropriately, even if the patient is not able to communicate verbally.

Family: This is included because of the importance of all significant others have in the end-of-life patient's care.

The Theory of the Peaceful End of Life has its nursing goal "the best possible care will be provided through the judicious use of technology and comfort measures to enhance the quality of life and achieve a peaceful death" (Ruland & Moore, 1998)

Theoretical Assertions and Propositions

B. Preventing, monitoring and relieving physical discomfort, facilitating rest, relaxation and contentment, and preventing complications contribute to the patient’s experience of comfort.

C. Including the patient and significant others in decision making regarding patient care, treating the patient with dignity, empathy and respect, and being attentive to the patient’s expressed needs, wishes, and preference contribute to the patient’s experience of dignity and respect.

D. Providing emotional support, monitoring and meeting the patient’s expressed needs for anti anxiety medications, inspiring trust, providing the patient and significant others with guidance in practical issue, and providing physical preference of another caring person if desired contribute to the patient’s experience of being at peace.

E Facilitating participation of significant others’ grief, worries, and questions, and facilitating opportunities for family closeness contribute to the patient’s experience of closeness to significant others or person who care.
