摘要：

End-of-life care in long-term care facilities for older adults requires numerous skills. However, many professionals, including occupational therapists, feel unprepared to deal with death and dyingand have difficulties to attend to the real needs of the older adults and their families.This is a qualitative study anchored in phenomenologywhich had the objective to understand the perception of occupational therapists regarding death and dying inlong-term care facilities. Data were collected through focus groups and analyzed by thematic content analysis. A total of 12 occupational therapists participated in this study, and two themeswere generated: "The Experience of Death and Dying" and "The Occupational Therapist's approach in Facing Death and Dying". These results may contribute to improvingthe care provided to older adults in the process of death and dying.
