45名加拿大临终关怀姑息治疗志愿者回答了一项调查，调查他们是否目睹或被告知在过去一年中与垂死患者及其家属一起工作的任何不寻常的临终现象（EOLP）。最常见的EOLP是患者与已故的亲戚或朋友交谈或伸出手（34%），出现终端清醒（33%），以及患者似乎准备旅行或旅行（28%）。至少有三分之一的志愿者表示，患者或患者的家人曾告诉他们已故亲戚或朋友的愿景或梦想（分别为47%和44%），看到美丽的地方或颜色或听到美妙的音乐（38%），最终清醒（38%）和临终巧合（33%）。大多数志愿者接受EOLP的精神解释，拒绝科学或医学解释。96%的志愿者认为，EOLP的信息应该包括在他们的志愿者培训的一部分。
Forty-five Canadian hospice palliative care volunteers responded to a survey examining whether they had witnessed or been told about any unusual end-of-life phenomena (EOLP) in their work with dying patients and their families in the past year. The most commonly witnessed EOLP were patients talking to or reaching out their hands toward deceased relatives or friends (34%), occurrences of terminal lucidity (33%), and patients seemingly getting ready for a trip or journey (28%). At least a third of the volunteers indicated that a patient or a patient’s family member had told them about visions or dreams of deceased relatives or friends (47% and 44%, respectively), seeing beautiful places or colors or hearing wonderful music (38%), terminal lucidity (38%), and deathbed coincidences (33%). The majority of volunteers were accepting of spiritual explanations for EOLP and rejecting of scientific or medical ones. Ninety-six percent of the volunteers felt that information about EOLP should be included as part of their volunteer training.
