Methods: Data was collected and recorded through in-depth interviews with 11 visiting nurses and transcribed verbatim. The data were analyzed with qualitative contents analysis. Data were collected from April 8 to July 30, 2021.

Visiting nurses have performed dignified end-of-life care at home and integrated support for family caregivers. Although the visiting nurse sometimes faced the limits of visiting nursing during end-of-life care, it was surveyed that they rewarded on their lives and felt rewarding through the end-of-life nursing experience. Conclusion: Practical and systematic training is needed to positively change the end-of-life care of visiting nurses. We propose programs, such as expert counseling, to improve coping skills in end-of-life care practice at home. Additionally, we propose various institutional supports which can support the limitations of end-of-life care provision.
