title: Promoting peaceful death for Thai Buddhists: implications for holistic end-of-life care.
abstract: The conceptual model of promoting a peaceful death was synthesized from Buddhist philosophy, the theory of "Peaceful End of Life," related literature, and a story from experience. Nurses can use this model as a practical guide for the holistic care of Thai Buddhists who are dying.
