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. We analyzed 14 articles that met the guiding research question and from the approach of these studies were listed two categories: 1-The process of death and dying: praxis and meaning; 2-The qualification of nurses in the process of training on the theme death and dying. The study identified that there is a deficiency in learning professionals to the process of death and dying, causing suffering of the nursing team, influencing the quality of care provided to patients and their families. In this sense become relevant research on this subject for the expansion of knowledge and deconstruction of existing paradigms.
