Abstract

|
Purpose: This study was to identify the perception of death in nursing students.
Methods: This study adopted the triangulation method. The participants was third grade nursing students. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
Results: Among the participants' perception of death, the highest score was the respect for life, and the lowest was anxiety about death. The participants believed that there was a relatively happy and unfortunate death, and that well-dying was achieved through acceptance, reflection, and rigorous preparation in life. Well-dying was possible only when well-being was proceeded. Nursing students perceived death as the end stage of life that needed preparation.
Conclusion: It is necessary for nursing students to have opportunities to reflect on death when they observe a patient’s death in clinical practice. Also, they need to have death-related education for them to grow as competent nurses to deal with life and death journey of their patients in future.
