First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether holding regular, structured team meetings about ethics in the intensive care unit (ICU) helps nurses feel more included in decisions to limit or stop life support. Researchers measured changes in nurses' perception of the decision-making climate, their well-being, and job frustration. The study included 450 patients and was completed at a single hospital in France.
