Abstract:
Death anxiety may reduce the interaction between nurses and patients, causing nurses to focus more on the physical care needs of patients and ignore their psychosocial and spiritual needs. This study was conducted to examine nurses\' death anxiety and attitudes toward caring for dying patients. The data were collected using an information form, the Thorson-Powell Death Anxiety Scale (TPDAS), and the Frommelt Attitudes Toward the Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD). The mean TPDAS and FATCOD scores were 46.71 (14.48) and 104.97 (13.55), respectively, and it was determined that they had moderate death anxiety and positive attitudes towards the care of dying patients. Those working in intensive care and internal medicine clinics had more positive attitudes toward caring for dying patients compared with those working in surgical clinics. Those who reported having a strong faith had lower death anxiety.
摘要:
死亡焦虑可能会减少护士和患者之间的互动,导致护士更多地关注患者的身体护理需求,而忽略了他们的心理社会和精神需求。这项研究旨在检查护士的死亡焦虑和对垂死患者的照顾态度。数据是使用信息表格收集的,Thorson-Powell死亡焦虑量表(TPDAS),和Frommelt对治疗死亡量表(FATCOD)的态度。平均TPDAS和FATCOD评分分别为46.71(14.48)和104.97(13.55),分别,确定他们有中度的死亡焦虑和对垂死患者的护理的积极态度。与在外科诊所工作的人相比,在重症监护和内科诊所工作的人对照顾垂死的患者的态度更为积极。那些报告有坚定信仰的人死亡焦虑较低。
