Back rank mate.
Yeah, but I'm asking about the thing that leads to the back rank mate. The queen pushing the king back to set up the BRM

You including the horrible ...Qxc2 move? A real gasser...Bc1+ leads to -+ for Black at worst.

Though I just think of it as a check, or the entire thing as a back-rank mate pattern.
It’s a part of the back rank mate technique. Might also be deflection, dont ask me...

that how you do back rank mate. Opponent has one defender and king protecting the backrow entry point so you force him to leave and bring the second attacker for backrow. Not everything has name. Perhaps you could call it coercion https://chesstempo.com/tactical-motifs#Coercion as the queen move pushed king to vulnerable spot
