Abstract

Death is a commonly used concept but is surrounded by much mystery. The concept of death is examined using the Walker and Avant (1995) framework for concept analysis. The use of the concept death is considered in the intensive care unit. In the intensive care unit a conflict often exists between the curing culture and the inevitability of death.
