Given the rapidly escalating older adult population and the need to strengthen content on end-of-life care in nursing curricula, finding creative strategies to encourage student thinking about the dying process and personal choice in end-of-life care is a timely challenge for nurse educators. There is an evolving body of literature in a variety of disciplines on cinemeducation, or the use of films to promote learning and personal awareness. This article describes an innovative assignment incorporating feature films designed not only to enhance student knowledge of the stages and process of grief and the complexity of human reactions when facing end-of-life situations, but also to engage students in thinking about the importance of quality of life in palliative care. The assignment was given to students enrolled in a second-semester, junior-level advanced adult health nursing course. Faculty and student evaluations of the assignment are discussed, and suggestions for selecting films and structuring such an assignment are proposed.
鉴于老年人口迅速增加，以及护理课程中加强临终关怀内容的必要性，寻找创新策略来鼓励学生思考临终过程以及临终关怀中的个人选择，对护理教育工作者来说是一项紧迫的挑战。在各种学科中，关于电影教育（即利用电影促进学习和个人认知）的文献不断涌现。本文介绍了一项创新作业，该作业结合了故事片，其目的不仅是增强学生对悲伤阶段和过程以及面对临终情况时人类反应复杂性的认识，还促使学生思考姑息治疗中生活质量的重要性。该作业布置给了参加第二学期大三高级成人健康护理课程的学生。文中讨论了教师和学生对该作业的评价，并提出了选择影片和构建此类作业的建议。
