“…The principal factors for attitude toward death were death-related education and psychological well-being, psychological well-being is the major predictor of attitudes to death. The finding is consistent with that in Ji and You [26], who investigated the spiritual health, stress of end-of-life care, and attitudes to end-of-life care. Psychological well-being represents how well a person functions as a member of society beyond subjective happiness or well-being in life [13].…”

Purpose This study attempted to examine the influence of resilience, life satisfaction, and psychological well-being on attitude to death. Methods A predictive correlational design was used. The participants were 184 nursing students from three universities of Korea. They responded to a self-report questionnaire, with items on demographics, resilience, life satisfaction, psychological well-being, and attitude to death. Results The mean score for attitude to death was 2.77±0.39 (range, 1–4), and a significant difference was observed depending on age, grade, and death-related education. Attitude to death was positively correlated with death-related education, resilience, life satisfaction, and psychological well-being. Results of the hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that death-related education and psychological well-being were significant predictors of attitude to death, explaining 26.6% of the latter. The most important factor was psychological well-being. Conclusion Although death-related education and psychological well-being are two of the most influential factors among nursing students, no more than 30.4% of this study’s participants received death-related education. Death-related education is necessary to help nursing students so that they can cope positively with stressful situations by finding positive meaning. It is necessary to develop a systematic curriculum so that these students can establish a positive attitude to death.

“…However, in this study, there was no significant correlation between EOL care stress and attitudes towards EOL care, in contrast to Ji and You [25], who reported a significant negative correlation between EOL stress and attitudes towards EOL care. Although a study [15] indicated that NICU nurses experienced a higher level of EOL care stress than nurses from other departments, no study has investigated the factors influencing this relationship or the correlation between these two variables, suggesting a need for further studies in the future.…”

“…This result is similar to that reported by Jang [15], in that the highest scores were reported for difficulties involved in related to EOL care. In the study conducted by Ji and You [25], in which a different tool was used but similar underlying stress factors were analyzed, excessive workload was shown to be the main underlying stress factor. Therefore, support from medical institutions, including appropriate human resource allocation and system improvement, in order to reduce the workload is necessary, as the workload may increase during EOL care due to its technical demands.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of perceptions of death, end-of-life (EOL) care stress, and emotional intelligence on attitudes toward EOL care among nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: The participants were 111 nurses working in a NICU who had experienced EOL care at least once. Data were analyzed using the t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis in SPSS for Windows. Results: The mean score for perceptions of death was 3.16 out of 5, the mean score for EOL care stress was 3.61 out of 5, the mean emotional intelligence score was 4.66 out of 7, and the average score for EOL care attitudes was 2.77 out of 4. The factors affecting attitudes towards EOL care were academic degree, anxiety regarding death, negativity towards death, experiences of patient death, and emotional intelligence. The explanatory power of these variables for attitudes towards EOL care was 24.7%. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to serve as a basic reference for the development of nursing education programs and EOL care protocols to improve attitudes toward EOL care among NICU nurses.

Purpose: This study aimed to provide basic data for developing interventions to relieve the end-of-life care stress experienced by pediatric nurses by examining the relationships of end-of-life care stress with compassionate competence and attitudes toward end-of-life care. Methods: Data were collected via a survey that was conducted from September 10 to September 30, 2018 and administered to 113 nurses who had worked for more than 6 months in a pediatric unit at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, South Korea. The data were analyzed for frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, and the independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation analysis were conducted using SPSS version 25.0. Results: End-of-life care stress among pediatric nurses had a weak positive correlation (r=0.216, P＜0.05) with compassionate competence and had no significant correlation with attitudes toward end-of-life care. Among the sub-factors of end-of-life care stress, psychological difficulties had a weak positive correlation with sensitivity (r=0.309, P ＜0.01) and communication (r=0.230, P＜0.05), which are aspects of compassionate competence. Lack of knowledge about end-of-life care had a weak positive correlation with communication (r=0.209, P＜0.05) as an aspect of compassionate competence. Conclusion:To improve the quality of end-of-life care provided by pediatric nurses, it is necessary to improve their compassionate competence and reduce their end-of-life care stress by developing education and support programs tailored to the characteristics of children and specific communication methods.
