This book was released on 1986 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if adding a specialized instructional section on death and dying to ongoing curriculum would affect attitudes of student nurses toward death and dying. Subjects were 30 first-year nursing students enrolled in the Associate Degree Nursing Program at Linn-Benton Community College, Albany, Oregon. Two instruments in the form of validated questionnaires were utilized. Hopping's Death Attitude Indicator and Templer's Death Anxiety Scale were used to ascertain the negative to positive attitudes of the students toward death and dying. A pretest was given and the students were randomly divided into an experimental and a control group. The treatment consisting of five hours of course content related to death and dying, was administered to the experimental group followed by a post-test which was administered to both groups. After this, the students were assigned to clinical experience in extended care facilities. At the end of the quarter, Post-test II was administered. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the sample and inferential statistics were used to interpret the data and to answer the research question posed. The Student's t-test with pooled error was used for comparison of the experimental and control groups on the pretest and two post-tests. The paired t-test was used to compare the mean difference of the control and experimental groups separately. All study hypotheses were retained except one. The rejected hypothesis showed that there was a difference in the mean difference between Post-test I and Post-test II scores in Templer's Death Anxiety Scale in the control group. Clinical experience tended to increase negative attitudes toward death and dying except in the experimental group which had received the specialized instructional section. Thus, a specialized curriculum may be helpful in preventing the development of negative attitudes. It is recommended that this study be replicated using larger samples, and that curricula related to death and dying be incorporated in all areas of nursing education.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) are an ever increasing and integral part of the healthcare workforce. Most nurses inevitably encounter death at some point during their careers. In order to provide end of life care most effectively, APRNs must be cognizant of their own personal attitudes towards death and understand how those attitudes in turn shape the end of life care that they provide. At present, there is very little literature examining the attitudes toward death of graduate nursing students. This descriptive study examined the attitudes toward death of 33 graduate nursing students. The instrument used was the Death Attitude Profile-Revised, a 32 question survey. In addition, subjects answered demographic questions and reported level of exposure to death, dying or end of life. This study found that the subjects' self-reported level of professional or personal exposure to death was not predictivfe of their attitudes towar death. However, results did indicate that graduate nursing students may be more likely to exhibit negative attitudes toward death having had minimal academic exposure to the end of life process. Findings from this study suggest that there is a need for an increased focus on end of life care within graduate nursing programs, which in turn could improve attitudes towards death and subsequently the quality of end of life care provide by nurses.

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.
