As part of a European Erasmus Plus project entitled Death Education for Palliative Psychology, this study assessed the ways in which Master's Degree students in psychology and the creative arts therapies self-rated their confidence and interest in death education and palliative and bereavement care. In five countries (Austria, Israel, Italy, Poland, Romania), 344 students completed an online questionnaire, and 37 students were interviewed to better understand their views, interest, and confidence. The results revealed some significant differences between countries, and showed that older respondents with previous experience as formal caregivers for end-of-life clients showed greater interest in obtaining practical clinical competence in these fields. A mediation analysis indicated that students' previous care experiences and past loss experiences were related to students' current interest in death education and palliative and bereavement care through the mediation of their sense of confidence in this field. The qualitative findings identified five shared themes: life and death, learning about death, the psychological burden, personal experience and robust training, and four key training needs. Overall, students' interest in studying and working with terminal illness and death are rooted in internal resources, a preliminary sense of confidence, but also external requirements.
作为名为“姑息心理学死亡教育”的欧洲伊拉斯谟+项目的一部分，本研究评估了心理学和创意艺术疗法硕士学位学生对死亡教育以及姑息和丧亲照护的自信程度和兴趣的自我评估方式。在五个国家（奥地利、以色列、意大利、波兰、罗马尼亚），344名学生完成了一份在线问卷，37名学生接受了访谈，以更好地了解他们的观点、兴趣和自信程度。结果揭示了各国之间的一些显著差异，并表明有过临终客户正式照护经验的年长受访者对在这些领域获得实际临床能力表现出更大兴趣。一项中介分析表明，学生以前的照护经历和过去的丧失经历通过他们在该领域的自信感的中介作用，与学生当前对死亡教育以及姑息和丧亲照护的兴趣相关。定性研究结果确定了五个共同主题：生与死、了解死亡、心理负担、个人经历和强化培训，以及四项关键培训需求。总体而言，学生对研究绝症和死亡以及从事相关工作的兴趣既源于内部资源、初步的自信感，也源于外部要求。
