*A7; A11; A15*	The feelings and perceptions facing the process of death and dying and the changes in the perception of death in different stages of life. Both show feelings, initial experiences with death as a professional, and the lack of preparation about the theme during training.	The professionals understand that death is part of the process of living, but feel sadness, frustration, and powerlessness, especially when the patient stays longer in the emergency room.	Many professionals, despite allowing the interview to take place to take place in another location, did not accept that it take place outside the environment.	It is believed that this study can contribute to professionals being motivated to reflect and discuss more humane and supportive care in the hospital emergency department.
A8; A9; A14	To care for children with cancer and their families, the nursing staff must understand the dying process, because care is very differentiated and difficult, given the operational and relational aspects.	Keep interpersonal relationship, understanding and companions hip as facilitating attitudes; and the nursing assistants think that good relationship, respect unity, understanding and flexibility with the child and his family facilitate interaction.	A team has difficulty in experiencing the child's dying process and establishes coping strategies such as not letting the child die alone, separating the professional from the emotional, neutralize feelings and never show weakness.	The training of the study team about palliative care, the dying process, death and mourning, as well as group discussions in order to deal with these critical situations are fundamental. It is necessary to reflect with the team on these issues so that transformations occur in the nursing care practice.
A9; A16; A17	From the perspective of emergency room professionals who work in the emergency room, death is part of the process ofliving, a relatively common occurrence in this sector and, even so constitutes an event that generates negative feelings.	Health care is considered as one of the most complex in the health care system, since it deals with critical and/or critically ill patients using technological devices, which require from professionals, training for the correct handling of the equipment, for decision making and immediatead option of conducts.	There is a need for continuing education/capacity building on the theme of "death" in order to of better prepare these professionals to deal with the death of the target of their care.	It is emphasized that humanized care in intensive care must be the main factor conditionant of the multidisciplinary health team's performance, and emphasizes the holistic view of the patient, since it seeks to meet all the patient's needs and contributes as much as possible to improve the patient's quality of life.
A10; A12; A18	For some professionals death is a natural procedure of life, for the unfolding of health process- disease may direct the patient toward the end. In this way, there is a greater naturalness in dealing with death, which does not exempt the presence of feelings in the process, being this, however, faced with more serenity.	A he team nursing team crucial in the care of these patients, making sure that they get the best possible assistance when facing a situation of death.	In the surgical context the word death brings countless feelings that are mostly negative, because what is expected after a surgery is the patient's recovery. Thus, the subject is considered taboo, tending to be masked in order to avoid being discussed and faced openly.	It is necessary to prepare the professionals of nursing so that they can provide authentic care to those who experience the process of death and know how to recognize the patient as a human being who is in this process, understanding the multiple experiences in this crucial moment.
A11; A13; A15	Learning to deal with death without losing humanity can mean transforming the encounter with the child and his family into dialogical moments of true encounter, giving meaning to the professional work.	Living with suffering and the possibility of death on a daily basis of death does not exempt the professionals the experience of conflicts and expression negative feelings. The professional nursing is in the midst of a scenario of diversity, a constant challenge, since you live daily in conflict, fighting for life and against death.	The feelings reported by the team when facing death are frustrating. They feel frustrated, especially when they see the despair of the parents who wanted their child so much and have just lost him.	It becomes necessary, then, to raise the awareness of nurses and their team so that they don't consider the experience of death as something fragile, shameful, shrouded in negative feelings, but as a possibility of expanding care, from the perspective of comfort, providing effective and resolutive support.
A12; A13; A15	Professionals create ways to protect themselves from suffering from the death of the other and from reflecting on their own deaths. It should be understood as a process, because if the terminally ill patient is considered as a social and historical being with his own beliefs and values, who is inserted in a family and social context, caring for him in these critical moments, is to seek understand it, listen to it, and respect it.	Even though it suffers, the practice of nursing requires continuing to care for the other, who also suffers. In order to perform their functions without getting sick, nursing professionals need to learn how to deal with the stress generated by contact with the other's suffering.	Fear of talking about denial of death, naturalization of death, the way to elaborate their feelings, experiencing this process in a more humanized way.	Reflecting on this theme may help these professionals to experience this process in a more balanced way, strengthening them to care for the patient and his family, minimizing their own suffering. Strengthening them to care for the patient and his family, minimizing their own suffering. There is a need to review the conception of death as a failure of therapy and care actions, synonymous with professional failure.
A8; A10; A11; A12; A13	Experience such experience, and all the doubts, insecurities and uncertainties that permeate it, provides, on the other hand, a review of the concepts and feelings of this professional about death, allowing a necessary reflection a construction of their own coping strategies.	The appreciation of life in its unfolding, of the child as a symbol of something to come, reveals the need of the human community to protect its own future and to renew the hope of the new generations.	Professionals health are more exposed to psychological health professionals are more exposed by their daily occupational in unhealthy environments and dangerous, and especially, in function of experience a repetitive routine and a close proximity to pain and death.	The pain and suffering, in these cases, although present, allow the gradual elaboration of strategies for its management; and the perspective of death becomes, thus, a constant companion in the daily life of the family members and professionals involved.
A14; A17; A18	The professionals also suffer in this process because talking about death and the dying process demands great cognitive effort from them. Cognitive efforte emotional, because this language was not taught to them, or was taught only incipiently, in the pedagogical process of training. There is no adequate and sufficient investment in training, either at the level as well as of higher education that level that allows them to interpret the feelings.	Therefore, it is necessary to talk about death, be it without dialogue, death will remain a potency close to the other, but distant from us and silenced in the process of care as a power close to the other, but distant from us and silenced in the process of caring.	The attitudes people towards death are influenced by personal , cultural, social, and philosophical belief systems that will shape their behaviors consciously or not.	The reflections are needed by palliative care teams who need to work together, with firm and constant interpersonal communication with each other, in order to strengthen interprofessional collaboration, because effective communication strengthens interprofessional collaboration, since effective communication tightens bonds and promotes greater security in care. In addition, communication also needs be improved with patients and families.
A12; A14; A15	A formation of the nursing professional can be cited in this category, in the sense that the authors attribute that the unpreparedness in the academy brings up the negative feelings about death.	In recent years, studies on death and its influences on the team, care and quality of care have emerged of assistance, a subject that, until then, was seen as taboo and little discussed.	The professional nurse has countless feelings when a patient evolves to death, from more general feelings such as general sensations such as the pain of loss, to more specific sensations specific feelings such as dissatisfaction, nonconformity, failure and denial not are able to maintain the patient's life.	It is necessary to deepen the vision of the nursing professional on the subject, so that he/she can perceive beyond the circumstances of the context, and know the processes of death and dying, so that his/her assistance can be of quality.
A16; A17; A18	The social conception of death is the result of a long historical process, marked by different economic and social systems, as well as by customs involving existential, subjective, and spiritual dimensions.	This is fundamental highlight aspects related to those who deal daily with cadavers and need to handle materials used in autopsies, such as tables, specif ic clothing, sharp objects among others.	There is a deficiency in educational formation of professionals who deal with death and bereavement, especially those who work in health care settings.	The necessity of creation programs aimed at death education in the curricula of professionals and in society at large, including interventional measures and protocols in cognitive-behavioral therapy to acquire skills for adequate and healthy coping of these experiences.

The studies selected for this integrative review focus on themes pertinent to the area of the study of death and the end-of-life process, thanatology, and point to the need for training health professionals in death education and acceptance of the end of the life cycle^(9,10).

According to the results when death happens in old age it is a natural and acceptable fact, in adulthood it is frustrating because it makes the elderly phase impossible and when it is a child's death the difficulty of accepting the feelings and frustrations present themselves with greater intensity^(7,12) .

The studies pointed out that information does not have the desired effect on the episode of death, making it necessary to provide caregivers with adequate support, oversight, and role delimitation to reduce the challenges identified^(15,16) .

The evidence provided points out that home palliative care can help by increasing the chance of the patient dying at home and reducing their symptom burden, without having much impact on the caregiver⁽¹⁴⁾ .

However, there is a need to create spaces to discuss the theme of death among professionals, due to their difficulty and suffering when communicating bad news and the development of new measures of coping and support for the professional who lives this process every day and tries to develop an emotional blunting in relation to this process of death/death⁽⁴⁾.

DISCUSSION

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE FINDINGS ACCORDING TO THE VIEW OF OTHER AUTHORS

Several factors have been identified in the process of death and dying, which leads to questions and psycho-emotional changes in health professionals’ lives and point out the main findings, revealing to be common that health professionals have assistance in the process of death and dying, feelings and perceptions facing the process of death and dying and changes in the perception of death in different stages of life and bring experiences from the early stages of the process until the end of the life cycle, while the professional has seen the lack of preparation on the subject during academic training ⁽¹⁹⁾.

Corroborating with the author above, another author states in his study that professionals understand that death is part of the process of living, but that they can not stop feeling sadness, frustration and helplessness, especially when the patient stays longer in the emergency requiring special attention and the commitment of professionals to postpone the end of life. Thus, the same author states that it is important that professionals know how to maintain a good interpersonal relationship, understanding and companionship with the other health professionals, demonstrating facilitating attitudes aiming at improvements in the quality of assistance and a good relationship, with respect to the pain of others, understanding and flexibility to the family strengthening the bond and access to universal health care⁽²⁰⁾.

The obstacles encountered in this process are diverse, however, nursing actions are essential to support family and team with ethical and constitutional support, so the emotions and feelings before the process of death and dying, are endowed with large assignments and tributes to the health professional, in addition to its repercussions and impacts caused in professionals and family members of patients require more time and expenditure of energy and assistance from trained professionals to help them in the end of life process, leading to the commitment of a multidisciplinary team and also demonstrates the need for assistance from a professional psychologist⁽²¹⁾ .

The importance of new investigations directed to those who deal with the process of death and mourning in their daily work, leading only to therapeutic suggestions, without enabling the indication of intervention on the thoughts, emotions and behaviors. It is suggested, therefore, protocols directed to therapy in the cognitive- behavioral psychological approach, considering the particularities faced by those who suffer from sudden or gradual loss and their functional or dysfunctional beliefs about death⁽²²⁾

The author mostly sustains the argument to stop working death as the fact that most courses have in their curricula the focus of work only on life, on healing and well being of the patient. Thus, there is a huge gap in the curricular matrix of undergraduate courses. The reflection of this is the formation of professionals unprepared to deal with death during their professional practice⁽²³⁾ .

It is worth mentioning that the most current curricula, inserted within an anthropological and psychological perspective, value disciplines and moments in which the student, with his personal issues, has space to manifest his principles in order to mature his view of reality. However, despite this configuration expressed in the documents that guide the pedagogical praxis, currently, it is still perceived that the professionals who work in the practice, as they have not had this look and this foundation, leave a disproportionate gap in the daily work⁽²⁰⁾ .

In the daily professional life of nurses, care permeates and consolidates their practice, however, this is a remarkable process in the development of coping actions and improvements, attitudes and behaviors based on scientific knowledge, experience, intuition and critical thinking performed for and with the patient, with the intention of improving the care provided, promoting, maintaining or recovering their dignity and human whole⁽²⁴⁾ .

CONCLUDING REMARKS

This study sought to highlight the theme of death and dying and its repercussions in practice and the impacts and obstacles faced by nursing, and achieved the objectives from the presentation of consistent and appropriate results to the proposed, a profession that stands out for care, and the nurse, the professional closest to the patient and his personal dilemma facing the process of death and dying. One of the major impasses of the research was due to the few references and studies on the death/death process. Thus, it is important to realize that nurses live in their daily lives the contradiction between the human and the professional, often mixing emotions and feelings with the tasks and responsibilities of the profession.

The limitations of this study were due to the low quantity and quality of scientific evidence, requiring the application of various filters and careful selection of studies that meet the objective. Another limitation is in relation to the studies with a high degree of evidence in the last five years emphasizing the impacts, obstacles, and catches

The studies that have proposed to analyze how nurses deal with death and religiosity in the process of care in their daily professional life are insufficient.

It is understood that this study has the function of bringing information to substantiate the professional practice, assisting in the ideal conduct of nurses facing the patient's death process, strengthening the daily practice, although it is frequent in units that demand special and intensive care to patients in the final stage.

Therefore, it is necessary to have better practices, adequate training, emotional support, and psychological support to deal with this process, since nursing is one of the main professions that live with the end-of-life process, with human finitude that is full of discoveries and experiences for both the terminally ill patient and the professionals who are offering care and ensuring dignity to the end-of-life process, and resolving doubts and anxieties.
