摘要
Previous research has linked death attitudes, palliative care self-efficacy, and attitudes toward care of the dying among nursing students and other nursing samples, but not among hospice nurses. The purpose of this study was to investigate these relationships among hospice nurses (N = 90). More positive attitudes toward care of the dying were associated with lower fear of death and death avoidance as well as higher neutral acceptance and escape acceptance, but not with approach acceptance. More positive attitudes toward care of the dying was associated with perceived capability to answer end-of-life concerns, but not with perceived capability to respond to end-of-life symptoms. Clinical interventions seeking to improve attitudes toward care of the dying among hospice nurses may be most effective by targeting death attitudes and improving self-efficacy in the area of discussing end-of-life concerns with patients.
