Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study examined the effects of nurses’ attitude toward death and their perception of hospice and palliative care on their terminal care stress in long-term care hospitals (LCHs).
Methods: Participants included 127 nurses from 6 Incheon LCHs. Data were collected between July and August, 2020. Self-report questionnaires were administered to collect data on their general characteristics, terminal care stress, attitude toward death, and perception of hospice and palliative care. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple linear regression using the SPSS 23.0 statistical program.
Results: Nurses’ terminal care stress was affected by their attitude toward death (β=.30, p<.001) and perception of hospice and palliative care (β=.28, p=.002) with an explanatory power of 21.6%.
Conclusion: Terminal care stress was significantly associated with their attitude toward death and perception of hospice and palliative care. Therefore, educating nurses in LCHs about death and hospice and palliative care is essential to manage their terminal care stress effectively.
