OBJECTIVES
To assess pharmacy students' attitudes toward death and end-of-life care.
METHODS
Third-year pharmacy students enrolled in the Ethics in Christianity and Health Care course were administered a survey instrument prior to introduction of the topic of end-of-life care. Students' attitudes toward different professions' roles in end-of-life care and their comfort in discussing end-of-life issues were assessed. The survey instrument was readministered to the same students at the end of their fourth year.
RESULTS
On most survey items, female students responded more favorably toward death and end-of-life care than male students. One exception was the perceived emotional ability to be in the room of a dying patient or loved one. Post-experiential survey responses were generally more favorable toward death and end-of-life care than were pre-discussion responses.
CONCLUSIONS
In general, when surveyed concerning death and end-of-life care, female students responded more favorably than male students, and responses at the end of the fourth year were more favorable than at the beginning of the course.
目的
评估药学专业学生对死亡和临终关怀的态度。
方法
在介绍临终关怀主题之前，向参加基督教与医疗保健伦理学课程的三年级药学专业学生发放调查问卷。评估学生对不同专业在临终关怀中的角色的态度，以及他们在讨论临终问题时的舒适度。在学生四年级结束时，向同一批学生重新发放调查问卷。
结果
在大多数调查项目中，女学生对死亡和临终关怀的反应比男学生更为积极。一个例外是感知到在临终患者或亲人的房间中保持情绪稳定的能力。实践经验后调查的回应比讨论前的回应更倾向于死亡和临终关怀。
结论
总体而言，在调查死亡和临终关怀问题时，女学生的反应比男学生更为积极，在课程结束时的反应比开始时更为积极。
