Abstract
The 'good dying' is a phenomenon that is constructed from multiple perspectives of the actors involved in the care of the elderly. The aim of this work is to carry out a narrative review with qualitative analysis of the content of 50 articles related to 'good dying' in the elderly published in the last 10 years. It was found that 'good dying' lacks a universal definition and is configured by elements that vary according to the actor involved, sociodemographic variables, and cultural aspects. Making visible the most relevant elements of what makes the ‘good dying’ allows us to broaden its understanding, with the aim of improving end-of-life care for the elderly.
Key words: Elderly, death, dying, palliative care, end-of-life
