Purpose: This study was conducted to explore how nurses’ attitude toward dignified death and moral sensitivity affect their end-of-life care performance.
Methods: Study participants were 172 nurses who work at university hospitals in a metropolitan city in Korea. Data were collected from June 20 through August 13, 2012 using the Dignified Death Scale, Moral Sensitivity Scale, and End-of-Life Care Performance Scale. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 19.0 program.
Results: Factors affecting nurses’ end-of-life care performance included moral sensitivity, dignified death and education level.
Conclusion: Moral sensitivity, dignified death and education level should be considered when developing an educational program for nurses’ end-of-life care performance.
