Abstract
Palliative care nurses experience huge pressures, which only increased with coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19). A reflection on the new demands for nursing care should include
an evaluation of which evidence-based practices should be implemented in clinical
settings. This paper discusses the impacts and challenges of incorporating coaching
strategies into palliative care nursing. Evidence suggests that coaching strategies can
foster emotional self-management and self-adjustment to daily life among nurses. The
current challenge is incorporating this expanded knowledge into nurses’ coping strategies.
Coaching strategies can contribute to nurses’ well-being, empower them, and consequently
bring clinical benefits to patients, through humanized care focused on the particularities
of end-of-life patients and their families.
