Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was performed to explore factors that influence attitudes toward terminal care in nursing students.
Methods: Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire filled by 175 nursing students at a university in a metropolitan city B. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program.
Results: Attitudes toward terminal care in nursing students was significantly correlated with communication competence (r=0.438, P＜0.001), spirituality (r=0.374, P＜0.001), and gratitude (r=0.318, P＜0.001). Communication competence explained 18.7% of the variance in attitudes toward terminal care.
Conclusion: The study shows communication competence is an important factor for attitudes toward terminal care in nursing students. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a communication competence enhancement program to foster nursing students with appropriate attitudes toward terminal care.
