Book excerpt: "Nursing students often lack proper training needed to handle the emotional and mental aspects of caring for end-of-life patients. They are interested in saving and helping people but, may be ill prepared for caring for patients in end-of-life cases. Many nursing students are not exposed to potentially stressful situations they may encounter in their career as it relates to a dying patient. Previous research suggests that the use of simulations with nursing students has proven to be effective in reinforcing topics taught in the classroom. This study will offer insight into several factors that could affect how nursing students perform in patient death circumstances. The current study aims to assess the effectiveness of death and dying simulations experience on the development of empathy, identification of fear of death and whether these factors attribute to attitudes towards caregiving. Students from a private university will engage in death and dying simulations as part of their course requirements. Using a pre-test- post-test design with a follow-up post-test, we hypothesize: the death and dying training simulation will increase the nursing student's level of empathy, the death and dying training simulation will increase the nursing student's level of their attitude towards caregiving, empathy and fear of death will significantly predict the nursing student's attitude towards caregiving"--Page 6.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spending the final chapter of your life in a nursing home is considered, by many, a fate worse than death. Others, however, have found that through enlightened, imaginative care even the frailest of lives can flourish. The key to such a transformation is to replace the constricting custodial centres of the past with a more informed, research-based approach. This book is timely, responding to evidence of the urgent need for change described in the Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety Final Report: Care, Dignity and Respect and its predecessor subtitled Neglect. In this book, the author proposes a model of care that places the whole person at its centre, sidestepping the constraints of a reductionist funding model that focusses on residents' deficits – and the proprietor’s financial gain. Aged care requires a comprehensive research-based guide to fulfil this aim. Narratives are included throughout the book to reinforce the fact that nursing home care is about individual residents and their unique lives. Topics explored in various chapters include: · Ageing in a Changing Community · Social, Gerontological Care · A Palliative Approach · Community Expectations Ageing in a Nursing Home: Foundations for Care takes a realistic approach that draws on contemporary research and narratives from the unique lives of older Australians who, despite their frailty, teach us how to care. Such knowledge informs and influences their future. The book is a resource intended for all who have a stake in the provision of best practice residential aged care, and all who benefit from such care. Its academic appeal will include those who design and teach courses in aged care: gerontology, general practice medicine, nursing, attendant care, allied health, and chaplaincy. Academics and teachers will find useful, well-referenced material for their courses, together with ample scope for researchers.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pediatric nurses play a central role in overseeing their young patients' needs as well as facilitating care and treatment. In critical care, good job performance is imperative, and nurses' attitudes are essential in providing care and support to their patients and their patients' loved ones through dire circumstances (McKerrow, 2014). It can be argued that certain characteristics, such as resiliency, spirituality, and individual personality traits, particularly extraversion and neuroticism, may help nurses cope with these demanding and dire circumstances of pediatric care. To date, there are large gaps in literature when looking at how individual personality traits, resilience and spirituality may affect job performance and attitudes in a death and dying scenario. Additionally, there is a lack of evidence in past studies on how these factors affect job performance and attitudes among pediatric nurses in a child-death and dying environment. In this present study, the researchers predicted that the death and dying simulation will influence the performance and attitudes towards caregiving. The researchers hypothesized that there will be a significant positive increase in the attitudes towards caregiving as a result of the death and dying simulation. It was also hypothesized participants' resiliency, personality and spirituality will significantly predict attitudes towards caregiving prior to the death and dying simulation as well as significantly predict performance in caregiving during the simulation. Further, it was hypothesized that there would be a significant positive correlation between the participants' attitudes towards caregiving and their performance in the simulation. The results revealed that personality and spirituality did not predict nurses' attitudes and performance. Resilience was the only variable to predict nurses' attitudes towards caregiving. This research can be used to design and implement programs to help nursing professionals cope with the various stressors involved while improving the quality of care toward their patients"--Page 7.

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 2021 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The capabilities of modern medicine have precluded the sanctity of what it means to die, extending life while too often prolonging suffering along a trajectory of functional decline that typifies terminal illness, leaving patients with little say in how they want to experience their final days (Connors et al., 1995). End-of-life care has evolved to ensure that people with terminal illnesses know what to expect, understand their options, and have a voice in their care. It is the nurse-patient relationship at the bedside where patients express their wishes and the opportunity to advocate for patient-directed end-of-life care occurs. Unfortunately, these nurses often are not prepared for this role, cognitively or attitudinally. With an aging generation of baby boomers and prevalence of chronic illness, the need for nurses to be comfortable with end-of-life caregiving is urgent. This requires nurses to be educated in the principles of end-of-life care and possess attitudes conducive to putting their knowledge into practice. Often, though, nurses are confronted with their own attitudinal barriers toward death and dying borne of experiences in life that must first be overcome to freely empower their patients' voices and choices for care. Using a correlational design, the intent of this study was to learn how to improve nursing education in end-of-life care by determining the relationship between undergraduate student nurses' personal, didactic, clinical, and introspection life experiences with death and dying and their attitudes toward providing care to the dying. The study found that the personal, clinical, and introspective domains were associated with attitudes toward care of the dying with introspection showing the strongest correlation with attitudes. Forward regression, however, revealed that all four domains were predictive of attitudes toward care of the dying. Didactic experiences indirectly predicted attitudes by enhancing clinical experiences at the bedside, resulting in the clinical domain ranking as the strongest predictor of attitudes while introspection emerged as the strongest unique predictor. The value of introspection in ameliorating attitudes toward death and dying borne of experiences in all realms of life was pervasive. The study further investigated the association between attitudes toward death and dying and attitudes toward providing care to the dying. Fear of Death and Death Avoidance were inversely associated with comfort in giving care to the dying whereas Neutral Acceptance was positively associated. This study revealed the complexity of educating to attitudes conducive to comfortably providing nursing care at the end of life, revealing the need for a multimodal approach. Assuming that attitudes engender behaviors, discomfort or aversion toward death may negatively impact giving care at the end of life. The study outcomes recommend introspective exploration of student nurses' attitudes toward death and the origins of those attitudes as well as offering deliberate didactic and clinical experiences with the dying to prepare nurses with the aptitudes and attitudes to comfortably provide end-of-life care.

Nurses attitudes toward care of the dying, have not kept pace with consumer attitudes and expectations (Mallory, 2003). The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the effect of an educational intervention on the attitudes of nursing students toward care of the dying patient. The senior-level students were asked to complete the Frommelt Attitudes Towards Care of the Dying tool. The students then attended a 4.5 hour lecture on content related to care of the dying patient. After the 4.5 hour lecture the students were again asked complete the Frommelt attitudes towards care of the dying survey. Results yielded a significant (p

This book was released on 2013 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has always been a topic for debate as to how nursing students are taught to deal with death and dying and how they respond to particular methods of teaching. In my many years of experience in the nursing profession, I have come across some very difficult situations in dealing with death and dying, these have been both challenging and rewarding to me.I believe nursing students require both empathy and guidance from nurse educators' to deal with what could be already difficult situations within the hospital or community settings. This study looks at the lived experiences of clinical nurse educators who work with undergraduate nursing students in a hospital setting. It employs a phenomenological approach to focus on nurses' personal experiences of death and dying. In particular it examines how nurses perceive the experiences influence the way they instruct their students. The literature examined relevant to this study has previously identified many aspects;however this study has identified the importance of nurses sharing personal experiences. This book may be helpful to both nurse educators and nursing students.

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.
