Data analysis was mainly based on the findings of hospice and non-hospice care research.

Hospice care is a specialized care that provides care during critical illness. It focuses on comfort

and quality rather than cure. The main goal is to promote dignity during the end-of-life stage thus

enhancing peaceful death. Attending to the pain and other physical symptoms that are usually

encountered by the ill is one primary mission. The individuals who were subjected to non-

nursing practice has been seen in the write up (Temel and Greer, 2010). The thesis was based on

the hypothesis that end-of-life care prolongs life and promote peaceful death. Figure 6concluding
