This document summarizes a Twitter chat ("#RNchat") about how healthcare workplaces can help nurses deal with grief from patient deaths. 1) Nurses discussed how having extra staff help with patient care allows the primary nurse time to grieve with family and take a break. Grief support groups and counseling were also suggested. 2) Most agreed nursing education does not adequately prepare students for dealing with workplace grief. Storytelling from experienced nurses was proposed as a way to address this. 3) Whether current systems motivate hospitals to provide grief support is uncertain, though some nurses noted supportive policies at their institutions while others felt "grief time" may be seen as unproductive.

can our workplaces help us deal w/ this? #RNchat

philbaumann: Thank you @EllenRichter for leading today's #RNchat!
4/16/2010 12:11
tactile: T1 #RNchat If a nurse has an actively dying pt, on a regular floor, other staff should help
pass meds, do cares, to allow focus on pt &fam.
4/16/2010 12:11
holisticnurses: T1 Grief support and education courses. We need a forum to talk about these issues. It's not
natural to have to just 'move on'. #rnchat
4/16/2010 12:12
tactile: T1 #Rnchat After a death, expected or not, time should be made for the pt's nurse to mourn
w/family, speak to chaplain, have alone time.
4/16/2010 12:12
rnchat: T1 @tactile Yes, so the nurse caring for a dying patient needs support with the rest of her
assignment. Dying patients need care #RNchat
4/16/2010 12:13
holisticnurses: @tactile Agreed. Nurse should have more time with family. As a Hospice Nurse I had the
opp. to speak w/ the chaplain as needed. #rnchat
4/16/2010 12:13
tactile: T1 #Rnchat If the pt's death involved prolonged resuscitation, or trauma, then the nurse may
need longer to recover. EAP can help.
4/16/2010 12:13
rnchat: @holisticnurses T1 Its so true. People believe health care professionals just dust off and
move on, but we carry this grief inside #RNchat

Did it help? Was it effective? #RNchat

VNHC: T1 we also partner with a local mental health org to offer free assistance/counseling to
nurses dealing w/ grief - look for similar #RNchat
4/16/2010 12:21
nursingpins: T1 Grief time will probably have to be mandated - hospitals will not give up "unproductive
time" without a fight #RNchat
4/16/2010 12:21
tactile: @nursingpins T1 Every hospital I have worked, we made extra time to cover for that nurse
and allow her time to deal with her grief. #RNchat
4/16/2010 12:22
holisticnurses: @rnchat T1 Never formally offered grief support counseling. If I wanted it, had to seek it out
myself, besides EAP. #rnchat
4/16/2010 12:23
rnchat: @holisticnurses T1 Yes, in critical care many deaths are drawn out & emotional for pts,
families & STAFF! We all need soothing after #RNchat

Comm. Health, but little about nurses' loss. #rnchat

hospital automatically shifts to allow grief time.

interesting. #RNChat

health orgs to offer grief services? #RNchat

experience of death. Need more storytelling #rnchat

that provide good nursing support!! :) #RNchat

of a chapter. "unfortunately, sometime ppl die."

applied in nursing school to learn how to cope #RNchat

4/16/2010 12:32

others but are they being utilized? #RNchat

relatable. #rnchat

death unless it happened to occur on a ward #RNchat
