To describe nursing students' reasoning about emotionally demanding questions concerning the care of dying patients.
The Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying (FATCOD) Scale was completed by students at the beginning of their education, and there was great variation in the responses to five items. At a follow-up measurement in the second year, an open-ended question, 'How did you reason when completing this question?', was added to each of the these five items. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the responses.
Of 140 students who completed the FATCOD, 111 provided free-text responses. The analysis of these responses revealed three themes: death perceptions, the students' understanding of their current situation, and the nurse's responsibility.
This study provides useful information on students' reasoning about emotionally demanding questions relating to the care of dying patients. Such knowledge is valuable in helping students to overcome their fear and fulfil their expectations concerning their future proficiency.
描述护理专业学生对有关临终患者护理的情感要求较高的问题的推理过程。
学生在学业开始时完成了《弗罗梅尔特临终关怀态度量表》（FATCOD），对其中五个项目的回答存在很大差异。在第二年的随访测量中，在这五个项目中的每一个项目上都添加了一个开放式问题：“你在回答这个问题时是如何推理的？”采用定性内容分析法对回答进行分析。
在完成FATCOD量表的140名学生中，111名提供了自由文本回答。对这些回答的分析揭示了三个主题：死亡观念、学生对自身现状的理解以及护士的责任。
本研究提供了关于学生对与临终患者护理相关的情感要求较高的问题的推理的有用信息。这些知识对于帮助学生克服恐惧并实现他们对未来专业能力的期望非常有价值。
