Abstract

The occurrence of a death in the out-of-hospital environment is often brutal and the reactions of the deceased's family and friends, unprepared for this event, can be unpredictable. After the technical procedures have been carried out and within a limited period of intervention, the caregivers, and in particular the nurse of the mobile emergency and intensive care service, must provide the family and friends with support enabling them to begin the grieving process. To help the caregivers in this mission, a pedagogical tool remains to be developed.

Keywords: extra-hospitalier; grieving process; infirmier; mort subite; nurse; out-of-hospital; processus de deuil; sudden death; trauma; traumatisme.
