The research process is followed : First, the researcher selected 35 statements on suffering using content analysis of indepth interviews and a literature search. Second, the researcher asked 38 hospice nurses to classify the statement cards. The result of the research showed that the hospice nurse's perception of suffering can be divided into 4 types (Self- recognition, Suffering-elimination, Relation- restoration, and Meaning-endowment).

In relation to this, nursing intervention skills could be presence, listening, touch, hope, reassurance, and comforting which result in positive effects between nurse and hospice client.
