Abstract

This study explored patient, relatives, and healthcare professionals’ experience of life and caring practice in two Danish hospice settings. Using a phenomenological approach, four caring themes emerged from data analysis: Recognized as an individual human being; Caring as doing and being; Caring for the whole body; and Spaces of caring. Spiritual care was understood as providing whole body experiences, respecting the patient, and involving the other person.
