Having a peaceful death is a common wish. Many cultures and religious beliefs offer practical ways to enhance having a peaceful death.
Dying in an intensive care unit is unnatural and oftentimes painful for the patient and their loved ones.

1. awareness of dying
2. Creating a caring environment
3. Promoting end-of-life care.
