Purpose: This research was conducted by mailing survey questionnaires to the target population-team members of palliative care from 38 hospitals throughout Taiwan. The research goal was to investigate on the team members' feeling for providing cares to patients and the condition of their emotional labor load, as well as on whether characteristics of the hospital organization and of the team members may cause different phenomena on emotional labor load. Material and Method: The research adopted questionnaire survey as the investigation method. The census was conducted y by mailing the questionnaires to palliative care wards across the country. Twenty-two hospitals returned the questionnaires, in which a total of 235 questionnaires were effective with a 34.3% returning rate of the study population. Research data were statistically analyzed by SPSS. Results: Returned questionnaires were completed by palliative care wards from the north, the center, the south, and the east regions of Taiwan, and hospitals of the surveyed palliative care wards fell into three levels: medical centers, regional hospitals, and local hospitals. Dealing with the relationship between patients and the medical team, the medical team members showed a servicing attitude that was neither stereotypic nor self-enforced. For members of the medical team, the more they identify themselves with the value of palliative care, the less likely for them to have an overloaded emotional labor work. In addition, palliative care wards from private hospitals showed a significantly higher degree of emotional labor load than those from public hospitals. Characteristics of team members from the palliative care, on the other hand, showed no effect the emotional load. Conclusion: For palliative care givers, it is important to build up a meaningful sense for their works and to identify themselves with the value of the works in order to feel comfortable in accepting the emotional care works rather than to feel forced for providing labor works. The research finding may facilitate self-adjustment of the medical team members, reduce turnover of the staffs, and minimize exhaustion of the professionals.
