Book The Effects of a Small Group Education counseling Experience on the Attitudes of Nurses Toward Death and Toward Dying Patients

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

Book excerpt: Presenting a broad coverage of this major area of studies on death and dying, this book provides a systematic presentation of the six most widely used and best validated measures of death anxiety, threat and fear. These chapters consider the available data on the psychometric properties of each instrument and summarize research using them, and also supply a copy of the instrument with scoring keys - to facilitate their use.

Book Addressing Death Anxiety in Undergraduate Curricula

Download or read book Addressing Death Anxiety in Undergraduate Curricula written by Rebecca Benson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The existence of death anxiety among nursing students negatively impacts their care of dying patients. The literature indicates that preparation for end-of-life care is inconsistent and insufficient in undergraduate nursing curricula, resulting in patient avoidance and inadequate end-of life nursing care. The purpose of this clinical project was to evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence- based educational program on death anxiety levels among students in a baccalaureate nursing program. The forty hour program was carried out over two nonconsecutive weekends and was comprised of experiential, clinical and didactic interventions. Transformative learning theory was used in the implementation of interventions, and the Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change was used to guide the project. The outcome demonstrated a 16% mean reduction in death anxiety levels among the eighteen students who participated, as measured by the Templer Death Anxiety Scale. The project demonstrated that death anxiety levels among nursing students can be effectively reduced through systematic implementation of experiential, clinical and didactic interventions. Inclusion of end-of-life education within nursing curricula can reduce death anxiety among students and precipitate better care for terminal patients. Key words: nursing students; death anxiety; end-of-life care; palliative care; nursing curricula; death education " -- Abstract.
