to analyze nurses' attitudes toward death in a hospital context after the critical period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal.
this quantitative, descriptive, exploratory study was conducted in a university hospital and addressed 995 nurses. Revised Death Attitude Profile (DAP-R) was used to collect data, which were analyzed using analytical and inferential statistics.
the nurses most frequently agreed with the statements concerning the Neutral/Neutrality Acceptance and Fear. Age, marital status, profession, and unit of work influenced the nurses' attitudes toward death. During the critical pandemic period, the nurses providing care to patients with COVID-19 presented the following means: Fear (28.89/±8.521) and Avoidance Acceptance (18.35/±7.116), which were higher than the mean obtained in the Escape Acceptance dimension, with significant differences (p=0.004).
the nurses held Fear and Avoidance attitudes, revealing the need to qualify and support Nursing workers to cope with the death of those they provide care and manage pandemics and catastrophes.
分析葡萄牙 COVID-19 大流行关键时期过后，医院环境中护士对死亡的态度。
这是一项在大学医院进行的定量、描述性、探索性研究，共涉及 995 名护士。采用修订后的死亡态度量表（DAP-R）收集数据，使用分析和推断统计学进行分析。
护士最常同意关于中立/中立接受和恐惧的陈述。年龄、婚姻状况、职业和工作单位影响护士对死亡的态度。在 COVID-19 大流行的关键时期，为 COVID-19 患者提供护理的护士表现出以下特征：恐惧（28.89/±8.521）和回避接受（18.35/±7.116），高于逃避接受维度的平均值，差异具有统计学意义（p=0.004）。
护士持有恐惧和回避的态度，这表明需要对护理人员进行培训和支持，以帮助他们应对所照顾患者的死亡，以及管理大流行和灾难。
