 The aim of this paper was to show evidence of the effectiveness of home care nursing practice for patients in the end-stage of life in Japan. This paper focuses on the home care nursing practices that enabled death at home and improved quality of life (QOL). Both direct nursing care processes and the nursing system and organizational supports for that care are discussed.

 Quantitative and qualitative data describing nursing processes and outcomes provide evidence for effectiveness of home care nursing for the terminally ill. Home death is seen as being enabled by the around the clock system and the provision of nursing services according to the plan at night. Support for self-determination and for the family engaging in terminal care at home (QOL)is attributed to the skillful care provided by the nurses. In addition, the support of the visiting nurse station as a unit for the concept of death at home is described as contributing significantly to the processes of care and the outcomes for patients and their families.

 In its conception the paper reflects the position that quality care for the terminally ill must be understood in terms of both process and outcomes and that the quality of nursing care for patients and families depends on skills of individual nurses and also to some extent on the organizational arrangements supporting nurses in the provision care. The results of the analysis confirmed this position. In addition, the analysis supports the need for reflection on nursing processes and also research to clarify the nature of the skillful practice that produces desired outcomes for terminally ill patients and their families through home care.
