Purpose : This study aimed to quantify the nurses’ concept of good death and attitude toward care of dying, and to identify the associated factors with their attitude toward care of dying.
Methods : A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. The participants comprised 64 clincal nurses, who completed a self-reporting questionnaire that included ’The Concept of a Good Death Measure’ and ’Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale Form B’ before attending a continuos education.
Result : Nurses’ the most essential concept of good death was that loved ones be present (3.70±.52), followed by that the person had an opportunity to say good-bye (3.53±.64), that the person be able to accept death (3.48±.61). Nurses perceived life closure (3.15 ±.41) was more important than the clinical aspect (2.42± .49) for good death. Although nurses
recognized that giving care to the dying person was a worthwhile experience (4.51±.50), they reported negative attitude in talking about impending death with the dying person (2.70±1.06), family involvement to care of dying (1.78±.60), and being with the crying dying person (2.73±.97). There were significant subgroup differences in experience of care of dying, but
no differences in age, duration of clinical experience, nor education related to death and dying.
Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that the death education program which designed to improve coping skills with tough situations in care of dying is needed.
