Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Terminal restlessness is experienced by 25% to 85% of patients during the hours or days before their death. Family members are usually present during this critical time and witness the patient's severe symptoms and the management of these symptoms. This qualitative study explored and described the impact of terminal restlessness and its management on the family members who were witness to the event. Focus groups and in-depth interviews with bereaved family members were analyzed using qualitative thematic content analysis. The findings indicated that the family members were profoundly affected by their relative's experience of terminal restlessness and its medical and nursing management, and that specific nursing interventions are required to address the special concerns and needs of these families. The study illustrated the significant role that nurses have on the quality of the dying experience for the patient experiencing terminal restlessness and the patient's family.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
