Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study explored the values and attitudes toward the death of paramedic students. It comprehensively investigated paramedic students’ first encounters with death during their clinical practice.
Methods: Between December 2022 and January 2023, in-depth interviews were conducted with seven paramedic students who underwent clinical practice. Their experiences with death and grievances were explored by applying Colaizzi’s (1978) phenomenological research method.
Results: After exploring and analyzing the collected data, the context and meaning of the phenomenon were integrated.
Resultingly, five major categories and 16 subcategories were derived.
Conclusion: Universities should introduce a practical curriculum on experiences with death to reduce the negative emotions associated with death that paramedic students experience during their clinical practice and convert them into opportunities for reflection and growth.
