This article presents the author's statement in the symposium on "Disease and Healing", that medical care based in Western medicine tends to cure the disease alone, but dose not care for the sick as a whole. Man is mortal, destined to age and sometimes falls ill. Besides cure, man needs care of others. As nursing has its origin in the mother-care of helpless infants, it is related to the care of all humanity. It has extended its functions of taking care from the sick to the aged, the helpless, the handicapped and so on. Historically speaking, however, it used to be believed that sick people were a type of convict and should be discriminated. It was not until the nineteenth century that the distinction between being ill and illness itself was established, because of the development of not only Western medical science such as pathology and bacteriology but also the idea of human rights. Sick people retrieved their honor, but at the same time, only disease became cured. The sick themselves did not recovered from the illness in some cases. Nowadays, human being faces the problems of advanced age. Even though man is mortal, man must live a life worth living. The role of nursing should be broadened. If there are persons who need any help physically and mentally, nursing must give a hand to take care of those persons although they may be dying, so that they are able to heal themselves at least mentally during their life.

目的:本研究の目的は,死別前から死別後を含めて,在宅で妻を介護した夫の看取りの特徴と訪問看護師の支援について明らかにすることである.方法:在宅で妻を介護した夫を妻の生前からケアした経験のある訪問看護師9名にインタビューを行い,その内容をグラウンデッド・セオリー・アプローチを参考に分析を行った.結果:その結果,在宅で妻を介護した夫の看取りの特徴は,【夫婦のありよう】【非日常的生活の継続】【つながりの薄さ】【抑え込まれた悲しみ】の4カテゴリ,夫への訪問看護師の支援は,【非日常的生活の中での看取りを支える】【抑え込まれた悲しみからの回復を促す】の2カテゴリで構成された.結論:特に妻との死別後,夫が悲嘆から回復し,生活再建に取り組むようになるためには長い夫婦生活の中で育まれた【夫婦のありよう】が重要と考えられ,訪問看護師は看取りの時期に【夫婦のありよう】に添いながら,夫婦が望む看取りのあり方を実現できるように支援していくことが必要と示唆された.
