Information contained in textbooks provides the foundation for undergraduate education and entry into clinical practice. Inadequate knowledge of health care professionals in end of life (EOL) has been documented and efforts are in progress to improve this care. This paper reports on a project to strengthen nursing education in EOL care. One of the three project goals was the evaluation of EOL content in 50 nursing textbooks. This paper reports findings in two of the nine areas of the analysis framework which are Death and Bereavement. Findings indicate significant deficiencies in the content within these texts. Improvement in text content will require collaboration of palliative care professionals and textbook publishers and can result in increased ability of nurses to improve EOL care.
教科书中包含的信息为本科教育和进入临床实践奠定了基础。已有文献记载医护人员在临终关怀方面的知识不足，目前正在努力改善这种护理。本文报告了一个加强临终关怀护理教育的项目。该项目的三个目标之一是评估50本护理教科书中的临终关怀内容。本文报告了分析框架九个领域中两个领域（死亡和丧亲之痛）的研究结果。结果表明这些教科书中的内容存在重大缺陷。文本内容的改进需要姑息治疗专业人员和教科书出版商的合作，并且可以提高护士改善临终关怀护理的能力。
