Introduction: During of caring of comatose patients, caregivers involve in a lot of factors which effect on caring. This caring is a holistic care undergoing caregiver’s preferences. Our purpose was to examine the effective factors on comatose patient’s caring. Methods: Van Manen’s conception of hermeneutic phenomenology with purposeful sampling of caregivers of comatose patients was used in Tehran in 2012. The data were collected through 10 semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using Van Manen’s phenomenology. Results: The participants were 5 males and 5 females, 8 nurses and 2 family members and working in critical care units between 6 and 23 years and working as a teacher. 7 essential sub themes were elicited: effective communication, mutual satisfaction, Depression and disappointment of caregiver, Hopefulness of caregiver, Guilty feeling of caregiver, Belief of death in caregiver and Compassion and sympathy then were classified into 1 theme: caregiver’s preferences. This caring means that the caregivers have to realize, percept, understand and evaluate of the caring because the comatose patients are unable to do them. The trustworthiness of sub themes and themes were achieved in our study. Conclusion: The caring in coma is a holistic care and the caregiver is instead of comatose patient. To enhance caring process and to achieve our goals, we created an assessment tool based on the findings of our study it seems that the results can be used in this regard.
