Nursing education needs to prepare students for care of dying patients. The aim of this study was to describe the development of nursing students' attitudes toward caring for dying patients and their perceived preparedness to perform end-of-life care. A longitudinal study was performed with 117 nursing students at six universities in Sweden. The students completed the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD) questionnaire at the beginning of first and second year, and at the end of third year of education. After education, the students completed questions about how prepared they felt by to perform end-of-life care. The total FATCOD increased from 126 to 132 during education. Five weeks' theoretical palliative care education significantly predicted positive changes in attitudes toward caring for dying patients. Students with five weeks' theoretical palliative care training felt more prepared and supported by the education to care for a dying patient than students with shorter education. A minority felt prepared to take care of a dead body or meet relatives.
护理教育需要让学生为照顾临终患者做好准备。本研究的目的是描述护理专业学生对照顾临终患者态度的发展情况以及他们对进行临终关怀的自我认知准备程度。对瑞典六所大学的117名护理专业学生进行了一项纵向研究。这些学生在第一年和第二年开始时以及第三年教育结束时完成了《弗罗梅尔特临终关怀态度量表》（FATCOD）问卷。教育结束后，学生们回答了关于他们对进行临终关怀的自我感觉准备程度的问题。在教育过程中，FATCOD总分从126分提高到了132分。为期五周的理论姑息治疗教育显著预测了对照顾临终患者态度的积极变化。接受了为期五周理论姑息治疗培训的学生比接受较短培训的学生感觉更有准备，并且认为该教育对照顾临终患者更有帮助。少数人觉得自己有准备处理尸体或会见亲属。
