To examine the attitudes of undergraduate Jordanian nursing students towards death and caring for dying patients.
A cross-sectional correlational design.
The Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying and Death Attitude Profile-Revised scales were used in this study with a convenience sample of 555 students from nursing schools in Jordan.
Nursing students had positive attitudes towards death (M = 153.7, SD = 21.5) and a positive attitude towards caring for dying patients (M = 98.1, SD = 9.2). Fear of death, escape acceptance and death avoidance were significant negative predictors, while neutral acceptance, higher academic level and female gender were significant positive predictors of caring for dying patients (F = 4.5).
Nursing students had positive attitudes towards caring for dying patients that was influenced by university type, academic level and gender. Nursing education must further focus on death, dying and end-of-life care across the core courses of nursing curricula, theory and practicum.
考察约旦护理本科生对死亡和临终关怀的态度。
横断面相关性设计。
本研究采用了弗洛姆临终关怀态度量表和死亡态度描绘量表修订版，对来自约旦护理学校的 555 名学生进行了方便抽样调查。
护理学生对死亡（M=153.7，SD=21.5）和临终关怀（M=98.1，SD=9.2）持积极态度。对死亡的恐惧、逃避接受和避免死亡是显著的负向预测因素，而中立接受、更高的学术水平和女性性别是关怀临终患者的显著正向预测因素（F=4.5）。
护理学生对临终关怀持积极态度，这受到大学类型、学术水平和性别因素的影响。护理教育必须在护理课程的核心课程、理论和实践中进一步关注死亡、临终和生命末期护理。
