The literature from recent decades persistently suggests that nurses are not adequately trained in caring for the dying. Numerous studies call for enhanced education in end-of-life care.
To explore student nurses' experience of caring for dying persons and their families and how this experience was influenced by their undergraduate education, with a view to improving end-of-life training.
Narrative interviews were administered to a purposive sample of 18 undergraduate students at Turin University's School of Nursing and analyzed following Giorgi's qualitative phenomenological methodology.
The students' accounts featured 4 main themes: emotions and feelings, reactions and coping strategies, growth in personal and professional awareness, and the professional nursing model. Students reporting positive experience of end-of-life care in clinical settings displayed the expected learning outcomes for undergraduate nursing education.
This study's strength lies in the fact that it draws on student nurses' lived experience to assess training in end-of-life care. It confirms the need to invest in targeted end-of-life education and support for nursing students.
近几十年来的文献一直表明，护士在照顾临终患者方面未得到充分培训。众多研究呼吁加强临终关怀教育。
探讨本科护生照顾临终患者及其家属的经历，以及这种经历如何受到本科教育的影响，以期改进临终培训。
对都灵大学护理学院18名本科护生进行了有目的抽样的叙事访谈，并按照 Giorgi 的定性现象学方法进行分析。
学生的叙述主要有4个主题：情绪与感受、反应与应对策略、个人和职业意识的成长以及专业护理模式。在临床环境中报告有积极临终关怀经历的学生展现出了本科护理教育预期的学习成果。
本研究的优势在于它借鉴了本科护生的实际经历来评估临终关怀培训。它证实了有必要投资于针对本科护生的临终教育并为其提供支持。
