Face death fear of dealing with death every moment has become essential burden for workers in the health field, in particular to professional nursing, which in turn is who provides the comprehensive care to the patient and family, and that it must deal with suffering, and the fears that may exist at different moments involving the care. Therefore, it is necessary to further the nursing professional view on the subject, so that it can see beyond the context of the circumstances and understand the processes of death and dying, so that their cooperation is quality.From this, the present study aims: To analyze the national scientific literature on the experience of the nursing team before the death of critically ill patients. We used the integrative review of literature method.
