Registered nurses (RNs) and care workers (CWs) have important roles in providing end-of-life care to older adults, but little is known about the attitudes of RNs and CWs in Japan. In this study, 464 RNs and CWs working in facilities in Japan were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire that included the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale, Form B, Japanese version (FATCOD-Form B-J) and the Death Attitude Profile (DAP), Japanese version. A total of 388 (83.6%) questionnaires were returned, and 367 (79.1%) were fully completed. The final sample included 190 RNs and 177 CWs. Multiple regression analysis showed that better attitudes toward caring for the dying were positively associated with seminar attendance and negatively associated with fear of death.
注册护士（RN）和护理人员（CW）在为老年人提供临终护理方面发挥着重要作用，但对于日本注册护士和护理人员的态度却知之甚少。在本研究中，要求在日本各机构工作的464名注册护士和护理人员填写一份自填式问卷，其中包括《弗罗梅尔特临终关怀态度量表，B版，日文版》（FATCOD - Form B - J）和《死亡态度量表》（DAP，日文版）。共回收388份（83.6%）问卷，其中367份（79.1%）填写完整。最终样本包括190名注册护士和177名护理人员。多元回归分析表明，对临终关怀的更好态度与参加研讨会呈正相关，与对死亡的恐惧呈负相关。
