Intensive-care unit nurses may experience difficulties in end-of-life care because of frustration or lethargy. The purpose of this study was to develop a mobile end-of-life care program for intensive-care unit nurses and evaluate the effects on competence factors such as knowledge, self-efficacy, and compassion. A quasi-experimental design was used. The participants included 44 nurses who had less than three years of experience in the intensive-care unit, divided into the experimental group and control group. After the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant improvement in self-efficacy in end-of-life care and compassion in end-of-life care. Based on the results of this study, the end-of-life care mobile app was an effective educational method for nurses with experience of less than 3 years in an intensive-care unit. To improve the quality of end-of-life care, it is necessary to develop various educational programs considering the greater role of the fourth industrial revolution in the future.
重症监护病房护士可能会因为沮丧或倦怠而在临终关怀方面遇到困难。本研究的目的是为重症监护病房护士开发一个移动临终关怀计划，并评估其对知识、自我效能和同情心等能力因素的影响。采用了准实验设计。参与者包括 44 名在重症监护病房工作经验不足三年的护士，分为实验组和对照组。干预后，实验组在临终关怀自我效能和临终关怀同情心方面均有显著提高。基于本研究结果，临终关怀移动应用程序是一种有效的教育方法，适用于在重症监护病房工作经验不足 3 年的护士。为了提高临终关怀的质量，有必要考虑到未来第四次工业革命的更大作用，制定各种教育计划。
