The nurse's interaction with the dying patient is thought to be influenced by death anxiety, attitudes toward death, and perceptions of control. Differences relative to these three variables between nurses who work on a continuous basis with the dying and those who rarely encounter a dying patient were examined. Using 3 paper and pencil questionnaires, data were collected from 105 nurses (32 palliative care nurses, 44 psychiatric nurses, 29 orthopedic nurses). Significant differences were found between the palliative care nurses and nonpalliative care nurses on attitudes toward death and on 3 of the 4 subscales that assessed death anxiety. Suggestions for future research include a systematic examination of the relationship of attitudes and feelings about death to patient care.
护士与濒死患者的互动被认为会受到死亡焦虑、对死亡的态度以及控制感的影响。研究了长期照料濒死患者的护士与很少接触濒死患者的护士在这三个变量方面的差异。通过3份纸质问卷，收集了105名护士（32名姑息治疗护士、44名精神科护士、29名骨科护士）的数据。结果发现，姑息治疗护士与非姑息治疗护士在对死亡的态度以及评估死亡焦虑的4个分量表中的3个上存在显著差异。对未来研究的建议包括系统考察对死亡的态度和感受与患者护理之间的关系。
