title: Supporting dignified dying in the Philippines.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study aimed to assess the appropriateness of the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) Palliative Care for Dignified Dying catalogue for palliative nursing in the Philippines.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study recruited 230 nurses to complete the ICNP Dignified Dying survey. Participants rated ICNP nursing intervention items and identified additional interventions for promoting dignified dying.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All of the intervention items were scored on average as being at least 'slightly important'. The three top-ranked nursing intervention categories were providing social support, maintaining privacy boundaries, and relieving psychological distress.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The ICNP Palliative Care for Dignified Dying catalogue lists nursing interventions that are appropriate to promoting dignity at the end of life in the Philippines.
