Student's death anxiety may affect the quality of patient care negatively. Objective: This study was conducted as a descriptive study in order to determine nursing students' death anxiety and the factors affecting it. Method: The research was carried out with 527 students enrolled in the Nursing Department of a foundation university in Istanbul. Data were collected with the Thorson Powell death anxiety scale and were evaluated with the number, percentile, mean, standard deviation, Man Whitney-U, Kruskal Wallis and Tamhane tests. Results: The mean death anxiety score of the nursing students was found to be 58.59 ± 14.76 (16-100). There was a difference between the mean death anxiety scores according to the independent variables such as gender, grade and willingness to care (p<0.05). Female students had a significantly higher mean death anxiety score compared to males. The mean death anxiety scores of the first and third year students were higher than the second year students. The death anxiety score of students who were reluctant to care for terminally ill patients were higher than those who were willing (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Nursing students experience considerable death anxiety while providing end-of-life care in clinical practice. Especially the anxiety of female students, those in certain grades and the reluctant ones needs to be addressed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
