The study aims to investigate the relationship between nurses' attitudes towards caring for dying patients and compassion levels. This cross-sectional study was conducted with the volunteer participation of 130 nurses working in various clinics in a hospital located in eastern Turkey between March and June 2019. Data were collected through the Socio-demographic Form, the Frommelt Attitude toward Care of Dying Scale (FATCOD), and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). A statistically significant difference was found between nurses' education level and compassion level (p < 0.01). A significant difference was found between the units where they were working and attitude towards caring for dying patients (p < 0.01). A positive, statistically significant relationship was found between the FATCOD total score and SCS total score (p < 0.01). A significant relationship between the compassion level and attitude toward caring for dying patients is an important finding for nurses, who encounter death frequently.
本研究旨在调查护士对临终患者护理的态度与同情心水平之间的关系。这项横断面研究于2019年3月至6月在土耳其东部一家医院的各个诊所工作的130名护士自愿参与下进行。数据通过社会人口学表格、弗罗梅尔特临终关怀态度量表（FATCOD）和自我同情量表（SCS）收集。发现护士的教育水平和同情心水平之间存在统计学上的显著差异（p < 0.01）。发现他们工作的科室与对临终患者护理的态度之间存在显著差异（p < 0.01）。发现FATCOD总分与SCS总分之间存在正的、统计学上的显著关系（p < 0.01）。同情心水平与对临终患者护理的态度之间的显著关系对于经常面对死亡的护士来说是一个重要发现。
