This book was released on 1976 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of a small group education/counseling experience on the attitudes toward death and toward dying patients of nurses who work in high risk death areas of local hospitals. The subjects were from three populations: registered nurses who work in high risk death areas of local hospitals, and who registered for a continuing education course on death and dying, registered nurses from high risk death areas of local hospitals who did not register for the course, and freshman students from a local university. The experimental design used four groups of subjects. One group experienced the treatment. Another group served as a waiting list control group and then experienced the treatment. Two groups were control groups. Subjects from all groups were given the outcome measures before the course began. Subjects from the treatment group were retested at the end of the six weeks course. Subjects from the waiting list control-treatment group were retested twice: after six weeks and twelve weeks, the latter after they had attended the six-week course. The treatment consisted of attendance at a six-week continuing education course entitled, "Coping with Death and Dying in High Risk Areas of Hospitals", in which techniques from both education and counseling were used. Two instruments were used as the dependent variables in the study: the Death Anxiety Semantic Differential, Parts I and II, and the Attitude Toward Dying Patients Questionnaire. The scores on the DASD, Part I and II were analyzed by analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, and two-way analysis of variance with the following results; (1) There were no statistically significant differences between the groups at the beginning of the experiment; (2) Subjects from the first treatment group had significantly greater changes in attitude toward death and toward dying patients as measured by the DASD, Part I and II, than subjects in the waiting list control group: (3) There was no significant difference between pre-post-attendance scores of both treatment groups as measured by the DASD, Part I because of interaction. There was a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-attendance scores of subjects from both treatment groups as measured by the DASD, Part II. A change score was computed for each subject based on answers to three of the questions on the Attitude Toward Dying Patients Questionnaire. Scores were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance which showed a statistically significant difference in attitude change toward death and dying between subjects who experienced the treatment and control group subjects. Responses to nineteen questions on the Attitude Toward Dying Patients Questionnaire were examined by item analysis of coded responses. Because of the lack of statistical analyses on these items, findings are considered extremely tentative. It appears, however, that the course did have an impact in changing attitudes of subjects from the first treatment group. Change of attitude of subjects from the waiting list control-treatment group occurred less frequently. It was concluded that attendance at the continuing education/counseling course on death and dying did appear to have an impact on changing attitudes toward death and toward dying patients of the nurses from high risk death areas who attended the course

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurse educators have identified that historically nurses have not been preparedto care for dying patients. Research also has identified that nursing students haveanxieties about death, dying, and caring for dying patients. Several factors have beenidentified as affecting nurses', nursing students', and medical students' attitudes toward care of the dying. Factors addressed in this research will be death education, and death experience. As part of a national movement to improve end-of-life (EOL) care, schools ofnursing are starting to implement EOL education in their curricula. This researchlooked at one component of EOL education, which incorporates experiential learningusing Quint's (1967) model of death education and transformative learning theory. The educational experiences were geared to help students understand the skills neededto competently and compassionately care for the dying; those behaviors include: (1)responding during the death scene, (2) providing comfort, (3) responding to anger, (4)enhancing personal growth, (5) responding to colleagues, (6) enhancing the quality oflife during dying, and (7) responding to the family (Degner, Gow, & Thompson,1991). The study examined the long-term effects of an educational experience todetermine if a one- time educational experience provides sufficient, lasting effects in a6-week format. Results of this study indicate that education can have a positive effect onnursing students' attitudes toward care of the dying. Nursing students in the treatmentgroup had a significant positive increase in their attitudes toward care of thedying after the treatment. It was also noted on the pretest that those students who hadprevious experience in caring for dying patients had a statistically significant higherpositive attitude toward care of the dying than those who did not have previousexperience in care of the dying. The attitude change increased slightly after a 4-weekperiod. The use of the End of Life Nursing Education Consor.

Book excerpt: End-of-life decisions are often difficult to make for patients and families, particularly with a new diagnosis of a terminal disease. Completing advance directives can alleviate much of the burden related to the end-of-life decision making process; however, many Americans do not have advance directives established. Additionally, there is a lack of knowledge and use of end- of-life resources available to terminally ill patients and their families, resulting in a poor quality of life. End-of-life and palliative care initiatives have been developed in the United States over the last two decades. There is an increasing number of terminally ill patients receiving end-of- life care due to the Patient Self-Determination Act (PSDA) of 1991 and the credentialing mandates set forth by the accrediting body for baccalaureate nursing programs. However, there are still many Americans who are unaware of end-of-life issues. By broadening the scope of practice among health educators, the general public will have a greater awareness of end-of-life issues, and an opportunity to establish advance directives. The purpose of the current study was to explore attitudinal differences between Certified Health Education Specialists (CHES) and Master Certified Health Education Specialists (MCHES) towards providing end-of-life education based on the factors of age, gender, ethnicity, religious influence, religious affiliation, level of education, additional certifications and licensures, previous coursework with death and dying, experience with terminally ill patients, and experience with loss of a loved one. A purposive, random sample of CHES and MCHES health education specialists whose names and mailing addresses were provided from the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC), was used for this study. Participants completed a demographic survey as well as a survey pertaining to their attitudes towards providing end-of- life education. It was anticipated that, like the attitudes of nurses, health educators would want to take active roles in assisting people with end-of-life decisions and provide end-of-life education for the general population. A sample size of 373 health education specialists participated in this study. The three factors of age, previous education on death and dying, and experience with caring for terminally ill persons and their families were associated with positive attitudes towards providing end-of-life education. This study suggests a need for death and dying education along with experiential learning to be incorporated in the health education curricula in order prepare health educators to advocate and educate the public and terminally ill patients as well as their families about advance care planning and their health care options at the end-of-life. By increasing the job role of the health educator, more people will understand the dying process and make informed healthcare decisions, thus improving their quality of life at the end of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing Education in Thanatology is an excellent source book for planning thanatology courses or for integrating concepts of thanatology into a nursing curriculum. As the formal teaching of thanatology in schools for health care professionals is generally overlooked and ill-defined, many students and professionals will learn to deal with dying and grieving upon their first encounter with death. This practical book will aid educators in planned inclusion of thanatology in curriculum to insure the preparedness of health care professionals in assisting patients and/or their families during an emotionally difficult period. There are many suggestions presented for beneficial methods of integrating thanatology education into existing courses or offering thanatology as a single course for education professionals.A vital resource for inservice coordinators working with clinicians in oncology, hospital staff, and health professionals in community or outpatient health centers, Nursing Education in Thanatology is excellent reading for helping professionals working with elderly people.
