Abstract:

This study examines the relationship between five dimensions of attitude toward death (fear of death, death avoidance, neutral acceptance of death, approach acceptance of death, and escape acceptance of death) and three selected personal factors (spirituality, emotional support, and religiosity) among American and Chinese older adults. A total of 178 older adults consisting of 91 Americans living in Columbus, Ohio, and surrounding suburban areas, and 87 Chinese living in Taipei, Taiwan, participated in this study. Among Americans, the results reveal that spirituality influences both fear and avoidance of death attitudes, and that spirituality and religiosity contribute to both approach acceptance and escape acceptance of death attitudes. Among Chinese, spirituality influences fear of death attitudes and religiosity influences approach acceptance of death attitudes. For both American and Chinese subjects, neutral acceptance death attitude is not influenced by any selected personal factors and emotional support fails to demonstrate a significant relationship with any death attitude. American and Chinese older adults derive their spirituality in different ways, and their respective religious faiths contribute differently to their attitudes toward death. However, this study clearly indicates that, despite cultural differences, both populations demonstrate that spirituality factor influences the negative dimensions of death attitudes (fear of death and avoidance of death) and the religiosity factor influences the positive dimension of death attitude (acceptance of death).

Abstract:

Merawat pasien menjelang ajal merupakan pengalaman yang kurang menyenangkan bagi perawat karena bisa menimbulkan rasa takut, cemas, sedih dan frustasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui hubungan antara sikap perawat pasien menjelang ajal dan sikap terhadap kematian. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif korelasi dengan menggunakan tehnik convinence sampling kepada 95 perawat yang bekerja di Rumah Sakit Advent Bandung. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada bulan Oktober - November 2019. Untuk mengukur sikap perawat terhadap pasien menjelang ajal digunakan kuesioner Frommelt’s Attitude Toward Care of the Dying (FATCOD) scale. Sedangkan untuk mengukur sikap perawat terhadap kematian digunakan kuesioner Death Attittudes Profile-Revised (DAP-R). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar perawat memiliki sikap yang negatif terhadap pasien menjelang ajal (dying attitude) yaitu 83% dan 81.1% menunjukkan sikap yang negatif terhadap kematian (death attitude). Hasil uji-t dan uji-F menunjukkan bahwa unit kerja dan pelatihan paliatif mempunyai hubungan yang positif terhadap perawatan menjelang ajal dengan nilai sig< 0.05. Oleh karena itu penulis menyarankan agar perawat diberikan pelatihan tentang perawatan paliatif agar dapat meningkatkan sikap yang positif dalam merawat pasien menjelang ajal dan sikap terhadap kematian. Kata kunci: kematian; menjelang ajal; sikap perawatNURSE’S BEHAVIOR TOWARD DEATH AND DYING PATIENT ABSTRACT Caring for a dying patient is an unpleasant experience because nurses can feel frightened, anxiety, sadness, and frustration. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between nurse’s behavior towards death and dying patient. Data collection was conducted from October - November 2019 to 95 nurses at Adven Hospital of Bandung using a convenience sampling technique and descriptive correlation method using Frommelt's Attitude toward Care of the Dying (FATCOD) scale and Death Attitudes Profile-Revised (DAP-R) questionnaire. The results of this study indicate that the majority (87.4 %) of nurses have a negative dying attitude, and 81.1 % of nurses have a negative death attitude. F-test and t-test show that the work unit and palliative training have a significant correlation (sig <0.05) to nurses’ dying attitude. Therefore the authors suggest that nurses need to take palliative training to enhance nurses' positive dying attitudes and death attitudes. Keyword: death; dying; nurse attitude

Abstract:

Introduction Death and the dying experience are common phenomena in all clinical settings. Death and the dying presents physical and emotional strain on the dying patient, his relations and professional caregivers. Objective The study therefore assessed the sociodemographic determinants of nurses’ attitudes towards death and caring for dying patient. Method A cross–sectional design was used to study 213 randomly selected nurses, working in one of the tier one teaching hospital in Nigeria. Attitude towards death and the dying was collected with Frommelt Attitude Care of the Dying and Death Attitude Profit–Revised questionnaire. The data collected was analysed with SPSS version 20 and inferential analyses were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results The study revealed that most of the nurses had negative attitudes toward the concept of death (76.5%) and caring for dying patient (68%). Furthermore, a chi-square test revealed significant associations between the nurses’ years of working experience (χ2 = 24.57, p <.00) and current unit of practice (χ2 = 21.464; p = .002) and their attitude towards caring for the dying patient. Also, nurses’ age (χ2 = 13.77, p = .032), professional qualifications (χ2 = 13.774, p = .008), and current ward of practice (χ2 = 16.505, p = .011) were significantly associated with their attitudes to death. Furthermore, the study observed a significant association between nurses’ attitudes to death and caring for the dying patient (χ2 = 11.26, p < 0.01). Conclusion This study concluded that nurses had negative attitudes towards death and dying and therefore prescribes, as part of continuing professional development strategy, the need for requisite positive value – laden, ethnoreligious specific education regarding end of life care.

Abstract:

Advance directives provide health-care instruction for incapacitated individuals and authorize who may make health-care decisions for that individual. Identified factors do not explain all variance related to advance directive completion. This study was an analysis of an association between advance directive completion and death attitudes. Surveys that included the Death Attitude Profile—Revised were completed anonymously. Comparisons of means, chi-square, and logistic regression tests were conducted. Among individuals who did not consider themselves religious, the mean death avoidance attitude scores differed significantly among those with advance directives (mean = 1.93) and those without (mean = 4.05) as did the mean approach acceptance attitude scores of those with advance directives (mean = 5.73) and those without (mean = 3.71). Among individuals who do consider themselves religious, the mean escape acceptance attitude scores differed significantly among those with advance directives (mean = 5.11) and those without (mean = 4.15). The complicated relationships among religiosity, advance directives, and death attitudes warrant further study.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTObjective:To examine the attitudes of Iranian nurses toward caring for dying patients.Methods:Nurses' attitudes toward death and caring for dying patients were examined by using two types of questionnaires: the Death Attitude Profile–Revised (DAP-R) and Frommelt's Attitude towards Caring for Dying Patients (FATCOD), both with a demographic survey.Results:The results showed that most respondents are likely to view death as a natural part of life and also as a gateway to the afterlife. The majority reported that they are likely to provide care and emotional support for the people who are dying and their families, but they were unlikely to talk with them or even educate them about death. They had a tendency not to accept patients and their families as the authoritative decision makers or involve families in patient care. Nurses' personal views on death, as well as personal experiences, affected their attitudes toward care of the dying.Significance of results:Lack of education and experience, as well as cultural and professional limitations, may have contributed to the negative attitude toward some aspects of the care for people who are dying among the nurses surveyed. Creating a reflective narrative environment in which nurses can express their own feelings about death and dying seems to be a potentially effective approach to identify the factors influencing their interaction with the dying. Continuing education may be required for Iranian palliative care nurses in order to improve the patients quality of care at the end of life.

Abstract:

The study examined the influence of training on first-year nursing department students’ attitudes on death and caring for dying patients. Utilizing the experimental model, the study sample consisted of 81 first-year students attending the nursing department of a university. Death Attitude Profile-Revised and Frommelt Attitude toward Care of the Dying Scale were used for data collection. Data analysis included means, standard deviation, and t test for related samples. Student attitudes toward death were measured as 146.43 (16.741) and 152.75 (15.132) for pre- and posttraining, respectively. Student attitudes toward caring for dying patients were established to be 103.02 (7.655) during pretraining period and 111.02 (10.359) at posttraining period. The difference between pre- and posttests for mean attitudes toward death and caring for the dying patient was statistically significant. Study results determined that training was effective in forming positive student attitudes toward death and caring for dying patients.

Abstract:

This study was conducted as a descriptive study aiming at determining the effects of the facing death situation and frequency of nursing students on their attitudes towards death.The research was carried out between October 10 and October 21, 2016 with the participation of 233 students who were currently studying in the nursing department of the Faculty of Health Sciences. The data were collected by the 25question questionnaire form prepared by the researchers and determined the demographic characteristics of the students and their attitudes towards death using the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) Scale. As the total scores obtained on the scale increased, it is considered that a more negative attitude is developed towards death. For the data assessment, percentile estimation, Levine test, One Way ANOVA, Tukey test, Mann Whitney U test, and Kruskall Wallis test were used. The present study demonstrated that of the students, 46.4% loved their profession, 59.7% preferred their profession willingly, 36.5% lost a first-degree relative previously, 65.7% faced death situation during clinical practices, 60.1% avoided from facing with the relatives of the deceased individual, and only 21.5% found herself/himself sufficient for understanding the patients’ relatives. The median score of DAP- -161.00), the median score the -72), the median score of the Escape Acceptance subdimension -32), and tha relationship was found amongthe DAP-R scores of the students and their sociodemographic and occupational characteristics and facing death situations (p <0.05). Considering that a negative attitude toward death was developed as the total score of the scale increased, this study revealed that the students did not develop any negative attitudes towards death. Keywords: Nursing, student, death, attitude, frequency of facing death.

Abstract:

(1) The aim of the study was to analyze nurses’ attitudes toward a patient’s death, taking into account the emotions they experience and the general perception of death. (2) The study involved 516 nurses from the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland. The research was carried out using the diagnostic survey method using The Death Attitudes Profile Revisited (DAP-R-PL), the Scale of Fear and Fascination with Death, and a demographic questionnaire. (3) Research has shown that nurses accept the phenomenon of death as a natural process of human life; however, they adopt the attitude of fear of death. Most of the respondents experienced: sadness (73.4%), helplessness (58.5%), and regret (43.6%) due to the patient’s death. (4) Both age, sex, marital status, and place of residence significantly influenced the attitudes of nurses toward the patient’s death. Therefore, it is important to provide psychological support or special education in the case of dealing with the fear of death.

Abstract:

Beginning medical and nursing students with no professional death-related experience were compared in order to discover the attitudes they bring to their respective careers prior to their professional education and socialization. Hypotheses were derived from psychological models for the effects of professional choice, gender, and non-professional experience on these attitudes. On five of the six attitude measures female nursing students expressed a more positive attitude than cither male or female medical students, as predicted. However, contrary to expectation, the attitudes of the female medical students were not more positive than those of the male medical students on any of these measures. Hours of death-and-dying coursework and general life experience exerted a significant influence on attitudes toward talking to dying patients about death and dying but not on any of the other attitude measures. These data also suggest the existence of an underlying attitude structure, representing these students' Overall Attitude toward caring for dying patients, which remains stable across group differences in professional career choice, gender, and death-related experience. The original theoretical models were enriched and revised in the light of these findings.

Abstract:

This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of Collett-Lester's Fear of Death Scale. A sample of 349 nursing students answered Fear of Death and Attitude toward death scales. Content validity was checked by expert review; reliability was proven using Cronbach's alpha; statistical analysis of the items, correlation between items and construct validity were checked by the correlation of the Scale with the Attitude toward death Scale. The multidimensionality of the scale was reviewed through factor analysis with varimax rotation. The Fear of Death Scale possesses good internal consistency and construct validity, confirmed by the significant correlation with the Attitude toward death Scale. Factor analysis partially supports content validity of the subscale items, but presented a modified multidimensional structure that points towards the reconceptualization of the subscales in this sample.

Abstract:

End of life decisions, such as physician-assisted suicide (PAS), have continued to be controversial as health care policy, moral, and individual health care issues. This study considers knowledge of end of life options and death attitudes as predictors of attitudes toward PAS. Data were gathered from approximately 300 adults through a mailing sent to a household research panel. Validated measures of attitudes toward PAS, knowledge about that state's assisted suicide laws, demographics, and attitudes toward death as measured through the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) were collected and analyzed. The data indicate that attitudes toward PAS are a function of knowledge of end of life options as well as death attitudinal factors.

Abstract:

Purpose of the study: this study aimed to analyze the modern representation of death by studying the attitude of religious people, mainly Christians, towards death. Methodology: On the basis of the Siberian Federal University, the authors conducted research on the attitude of student youth towards death. The questionnaire in a standardized fashion was used. Likert scale judgments were analyzed. The methodological concepts of the attitude towards the death of such authors as Philippe Ariès and Gilbert Durand, as well as the Russian cosmists, served as the prerequisite for the formation of the research hypothesis. The group of the respondent demonstrated the religious beliefs and their faith in God. The answers of the group were interpreted on the subject of their attitude towards death, the ideas of death, and the types of protection against the fear of death. Main Findings: In the course of this work, the authors determined that the majority of student youth formed a negative representation of death that does not correspond with the religious ideology. Several concepts that reflect the attitude of youth towards death and their method of fighting the fear of death are described. The authors draw a conclusion on the state of the religious consciousness of student youth that is a result of unfamiliarity with religious norms or the fusion of the traditions of various religions. Applications of this study: The study would serve as an antecedent to further investigation on people’s attitude towards death. The research results can also be applied in social anthropology, social philosophy, and sociology. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study shows the important attitude of student youth towards death and can help to form the main problems of the religious consciousness of student youth.

Abstract:

Background:Advance care planning is a crucial end-of-life care practice. However, an advance care planning educational programme for practitioners in an acute care setting has not yet been established. Consequently, we examined the effects of an advance care planning educational programme in an acute hospital in the hope of achieving increased awareness of end-of-life care.Design:A mixed-methods, pre- and post-design was employed to evaluate the change in attitudes of practitioners post-programme. The intervention programme was conducted thrice over 3 months in 90-min sessions.Setting/participants:This study included 85 participants in the baseline assessment working at B acute hospital in Osaka.Results:Participants’ scores on the ‘Positive attitude for end-of-life care’ subscale on the short version of the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of Dying scale significantly increased after the 6-month intervention. A ‘Positive attitude for end-of-life-care’ implies that participants would not be afraid to practice end-of-life care. Further, participants’ scores on the ‘Death relief’ subscale of the Death Attitude Inventory also significantly increased. The term ‘Death relief’ means that death helps in ending suffering. It means participants are not afraid of death. Qualitative results implied that participants believed advance care planning implementation and communicating with patients and patients’ families were critical.Conclusions:Six months post-intervention, participants displayed sustained positive attitudes towards end-of-life care. These results suggest that the present programme was effective at improving practitioners’ attitudes towards patients’ end-of-life care.

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the relationship between death anxiety of the Turkish nurses and their attitudes toward the dying patient. This study involved 203 nurses who were working at a university hospital. The data were collected using “Nurse Information Form” (which was prepared by the authors of this research), “Thorson-Powell Death Anxiety Scale,” and “Attitude Scale about Euthanasia, Death, and Dying Patient.” There was a positive correlation between death anxiety and dying patient avoidance behavior and euthanasia score ( p < .05). The findings showed that nurses, death anxiety, and death scores were high in the loss of a close relatives ( p < .05). Our findings suggest that the situation of the dying patients and their families and also nurses should be improved. Thus, special psychological education/training should be given to the nurses to deal with death anxiety and their attitude to the dying patient.

Abstract:

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationship between death anxiety, knowledge, and attitudes toward advance directives in middle-aged patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods: Data were collected through a survey of 142 middle-aged adults from August 27th to October 4th, 2019 in G city. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, and Pearson correlation coefficient.Results: The average score of participants’ death anxiety and attitudes toward advance directives was 44.14± 6.71 and 43.61±3.53, respectively, and the average correct rate in knowledge of advance directives was 57.1%. Participants showed significant differences in death anxiety (F=3.75, p=.013), knowledge of advance directives (F=3.02, p=.033), and attitudes toward advance directives (t=2.31, p=.022) depending on the presence or absence of an object to discuss their health status. Also, there were significant differences in knowledge of advance directives (t=3.43, p=.001) and attitude toward advance directives (t=2.23, p=.027) depending on whether participants perceived the meaning of advance directives. There were positive correlations (r=.38, p<.001) between knowledge of advance directives and attitudes toward advance directives in middle-aged patients with acute myocardial infarction.Conclusion: Active information-provision and promotional strategies are needed to enhance a correct understanding of advance directives for middle-aged acute myocardial infarction patients with a high probability of sudden death to recognize the need for an advance directive and reinforce a positive attitude.

Abstract:

The aim of the present study was to test the effect of visual perspective on the actor–observer bias. For this aim, we examined the effects of different visual perspectives on individuals' external and internal attributions. In addition to this, we examined the presence or absence of an attitude change toward the death penalty due to participants' visual perspective. One week before the experiment, we measured the participants' attitudes toward the death penalty. Then, during the experiment, films produced by one of the authors of this study were shown to two separate groups of participants. There were two films, each film constituting one of the two levels of visual perception. The content of each film was the memories of a person who was given the death penalty for the murder of his own brother. Level of visual perception was manipulated by using different camera perspectives, one from the actor's point of view and the other from the observer's point of view. At the end of the experiment, participants' attitudes toward the death penalty were measured again.

Abstract:

The current study had two primary goals, to determine whether: 1) self-rated mental and physical health, pain, and experience with health problems were predictors of elderly adults' attitudes toward death; and 2) death attitudes predict end-of-life medical treatment concerns. Participants were 109 adults, 65 years of age and older ( M=78.74 years), recruited from the local community. Regression analyses indicated that poorer perceived physical health predicted a greater likelihood of viewing death as an escape, and poorer perceived mental health predicted a greater fear of death. Viewing death as an escape and fearing death predicted end-of-life medical treatment concerns; a greater endorsement of either attitude predicted more concern. Possible explanations for the links between perceived health, attitudes toward death, and concern about end-of-life issues are suggested.

Abstract:

Few studies have explored how nurses in acute care hospitals perceive and perform end-of-life care in Korea. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of nurses’ perceptions of death on end-of-life care performance and analyze the mediating role of attitude towards end-of-life care among hospital nurses. This cross-sectional study included a total of 250 nurses who have had experience with end-of-life care from four general hospitals in Korea. We used the Korean validated tools with the View of Life and Death Scale, the Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying (FATCOD) scale, and the performance of end-of-life care. Hierarchical linear regression and mediation analysis, applying the bootstrapping method. The results of hierarchical linear regression showed that nurses’ positive perceptions of death and attitude towards end-of-life care were significantly associated with their performance of end-of-life care. A mediation analysis further revealed that nurses’ attitude towards end-of-life care mediates the relationship between the perceptions of death and performance of end-of-life care. Our findings suggest that supportive and practical death educational programs should be designed, based on nurses’ professional experience and work environment, which will enable them to provide better end-of-life care.

Abstract:

This study aims to reveal the role of wisdom and religiosity in the attitude of facing death in Javanese society during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research was conducted in Desa Banyubiru, Kab. Semarang, Central Java, with a total of 50 participants. This study applies three measurement scales, namely (1) the self-assessed wisdom scale (SAWS) developed by Webster (2003); (2) The Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS) developed by Huber & Huber (2012); and (3) Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) developed by Wong, Reker, & Gesser (1994). The measurement scale has been modified into Indonesian language because of the environmental context of the research participants. This research draws upon quantitative approach with multiple regression statistical analysis. The results showed an F value of 5.743 with a level of significance 0.006 (p <0.05), which means religiosity and wisdom has simoultanesly impact towards the death attitude in Javanese society. The amount of contribution given by the two independent variables together is 19.6%. the further researchers require to consider the cultural, environmental, and socioeconomic context in referring attitudes toward death

Abstract:

Background: Since believing in resurrection and life after death exists in all religions, strengthening this belief leads to positive emotional states, increases adaptation to adverse life events, reduces the fear of death and gives a meaning to life. This study was conducted in 2017 to investigate the relationship between believing in resurrection and attitude towards death among the elderly population of Golestan province. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 230 elderly people over 60 years old in Golestan province, Iran. The data collection tool was the standard questionnaire of resurrection belief and attitude towards death. Data were collected by self-reporting method, and then were analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Spearman and Kruskal-Wallis correlation coefficient). Results: The score of believing in resurrection was 70.62 + 8.41 and the score of attitude towards death was 128.08 + 16.58 among the samples. Pearson correlation test did not show a significant relationship between believing in resurrection and attitude towards death (r = 0.01, p = 0.9). Conclusion: The results of this study showed no significant relationship between believing in resurrection and attitude towards death among the elderly people. However, since almost everyone believes in resurrection and afterlife, spiritual tendencies become more pronounced in old age. By understanding and strengthening the spiritual needs of elderlies, health care providers can promote mental health, gives a meaning to life and reduce the fear of death in the elderly population. Key words: Believing in resurrection, Attitude towards death, Elderly

Abstract:

Although death anxieties seem to play a decisive role in the degree of willingness to donate organs for transplantation after death, the results of most studies have not been able to explain satisfactorily the discrepancy between attitude(s) and behavior in the matter of organ donation. Following up on prior research, this article describes a study based on Weyant's cost-benefit model for altruistic behavior. Two death anxieties (the attitude toward death and the fear of being declared dead too soon) are introduced separately to explain organ donation behavior. The results show that these two almost unrelated death anxieties improve the explanatory force of the attitude-behavior relationship with respect to organ donation.

Abstract:

The concept of a good death is crucial in palliative care, but its relationship with attitudes toward death and feelings of interconnectedness needs to be further deepened. The first aim of this study was to explore the concept of good death, attitudes toward death, and feelings of interconnectedness among family caregivers (FCs) and health-care providers (HCPs) of terminally ill patients with cancer. The second aim was to analyze associations of good death concept with attitudes toward death and feelings of interconnectedness. Participants were asked to assess the importance of features that characterize a good death. To explore each person’s attitude toward death and feelings of interconnectedness, 3 open questions were used. The sample consisted of 49 participants: 24 (48.98%) FCs and 25 (51.02%) HCPs. Nine good death features were considered essential by more than 70% of participants. These referred to the physical (eg, symptoms control), social (eg, loved ones’ presence), emotional (eg, sharing emotions), and spiritual (eg, inner peace) dimensions. Importance attributed to components of a good death such as patient’s awareness and acceptance of death, meaning, respect for the patient’s wishes, and inner peace were found to be associated with lack of avoidance and acceptance toward death and feelings of interconnectedness. Given the importance of FCs and HCPs in providing care and their impact on the patients’ dying process, it is necessary to reflect upon how their personal attitudes and previous experiences influence the care of dying patients.

Abstract:

The article presents the results of work on the Polish adaptation of the Death Attitude Profile—Revised by Wong, Reker, and Gesser (1994). The psychometric properties of the Polish version of the tool have been described. The results are consistent with the original version of the questionnaire and confirm that the Polish version of Death Attitude Profile—Revised fulfils the psychometric requirements for psychological tests and, as a result, can be applied in scientific research. The final version of the questionnaire consists of 32 items (including 31 diagnostic ones) that make up five dimensions of attitudes toward death: (a) Fear of Death, (b) Death Avoidance, (c) Neutral Acceptance, (d) Escape Acceptance, and (e) Approach Acceptance. The questionnaire was tested on 1,285 subjects aged 13 to 90 years ( M = 47.27, SD = 18.21). Reliability values (Cronbach’s α) for individual scales vary from α = .63 to α = .89. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the validity of the questionnaire.

Abstract:

The Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD) is designed to assess the attitudes of professionals and trainees toward caring for the dying patient and their family members. In this study the main aim is to adapt the FATCOD to a Spanish context (FATCOD-S). In addition, the relations between FATCOD-S, sociodemographic variables, emotional intelligence, and death attitudes have been analyzed. A sample of 669 Spanish nursing students from four Universities responded to a questionnaire. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) concludes a structure composed of two significant factors. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out. The CFA supported a two-factor model. Students with past experience of death and those who had received training in palliative care scored significantly higher on both factors of the FATCOD-S ( p < 0.01). The FATCOD-S is an effective and valid tool for measuring the attitudes of Spanish nursing students toward caring for patients at the end of life.

Abstract:

Purpose: This study was a descriptive study to identify factors affecting the attitude toward life-sustaining treatment of nurses working at long-term care hospitals. Methods: Data were collected through structured questionnaires from August 2nd to 27th, 2019. Study participants consisted of 163 nurses who were working for at least 6 months from 7 long-term care hospitals in B and K city. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe' test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression with SPSS WIN v 21.0.Results: There were significantly positive correlations between awareness of good death (r=.46, p<.001) and perception of patients’ rights (r=.32, p<.001). The factors affecting participants’ attitude toward life-sustaining treatment were awareness of good death (β=.35, p<.001) and their own view of death (β=.24, p=.001), which explained about 27.0% of the attitude toward life-sustaining treatment.Conclusion: Based on these results, it is necessary to develop nursing educational materials that can establish values for deaths, and cultivate legal and ethical knowledge related to attitude toward life-sustaining treatment. In addition, since the severity of a patient’s condition varies and the characteristics of the institution vary depending on the type of hospital, a study is needed on the relevance of variables considering the hospital environment.

Abstract:

This study examined the concept of and attitudes toward death of university students and evaluated the efficacy of the death education courses offered by different universities in Hong Kong. The study adopted a pretreatment and posttreatment comparison approach in assessing the efficacy of the courses. The same set of instruments, Death Attitude Profile-Revised and Semantic Differential Ratings of Life and Death, measuring students' views of and attitudes toward death were administered to the students twice, once at the start of the courses and another at the end. Results of the pretreatment survey also served to depict the current state of students' views and attitudes. The target students comprised two groups: those taking the relevant courses and those not; this latter group served as a comparison group in assessing the treatment group's behavior. The achieved sample included 368 students who responded to both the pre- and posttreatment surveys, of which 134 had attended the relevant courses. The results indicated that the students had a more negative views on death as compared with that of life. Findings also suggested that the death education courses had significant and positive impact on the students, that is, viewing death more positively than before, having less fear and avoidance confronting death. However, the impact differed depending on the gender as well as death experience of the student.

Intervensi keperawatan bagi pasien kanker stadium lanjut menjelang ajal dan keluarga perlu ditingkatkan. Sangat penting untuk perawat berkomunikasi dengan pasien dan keluarga mereka dalam membahas tentang masalah akhir kehidupan untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidupnya dan mempersiapkan kematian yang damai sertaberkualitas.Patients with advanced cancer are generally difficult to be healed and end up in death. Nurses' roles are needed in preparing the patient's death through end-of-life care. The nurses' viewpoint of readiness in caring for a dying patient can be explained through their attitudes. Nurses' attitudes will affect the nurses' emotions and actions while conducting end-of-life care for dying patients and their families. This study aims to determine the nurses' attitudes toward death preparation in advanced cancer patients at RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang. The type of this researchis descriptive quantitative non-experimental. The sampling technique used was total sampling with a sample of 145 respondents. Data was collected by using The Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD) questionnaire. The results showed 76 of 145 nurses (52.4%) had positive attitudes toward death preparation. The result of the analysis of two domains showed 53.8% of nurses had positive attitudes toward death preparation in advanced cancer patients and also 57.2% of nurses had positive attitudes toward death preparation in families of advanced cancer patients. Nurse interventions are still needed to improve communication with patients and their families in discussing about end-of-life issues for improving the quality of life and good death.

Abstract:

Smoking is a global health risk for premature death and disease. Recently, addictive behaviors, like smoking, were considered to be guided by explicit and implicit processes. The existence of a dissociation between the two attitudes in nonsmokers and the causes of the differences in implicit attitudes toward smoking have not been fully investigated. We investigated the explicit and implicit attitudes toward smoking via a self-reported scale and the single category implicit association test (SC-IAT), respectively, among undergraduate and graduate health sciences students. In addition, we applied the drift-diffusion model (DDM) on the SC-IAT and examined the behavioral characteristics that caused differences in implicit attitude toward smoking between smokers and nonsmokers. The results showed the existence of a dissociation between explicit and implicit attitudes toward smoking among nonsmokers. In addition, nonsmokers had a higher decision threshold than smokers and a higher drift rate in the condition where negative words were associated with smoking. Nonsmokers engaged in SC-IAT with more cautious attitudes and responded more easily in a negative condition since it was consistent with their true attitudes. Conversely, smokers did not show a significant difference in the drift rate between the conditions. These results suggested that the differences in an implicit attitude between smokers and nonsmokers were caused by differences in evidence accumulation speed between the positive and negative conditions. The existence of dissociation between implicit and explicit attitudes toward smoking may indicate the difficulty of measuring true attitude in nonsmokers in a questionnaire survey. Additionally, the DDM results explained the difference of implicit attitude between smokers and nonsmokers; it may provide information on the mechanisms of addictive behaviors and a basis for therapy. However, whether these results are affected by cultural differences requires further investigation.

Abstract Attitudes toward physician-assisted death among medical students differ between populations. The aim of this study was to explore attitudes towards euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide among Spanish university students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted by asking undergraduate students (Medicine, Nursing and Law) of the University of Santiago de Compostela to complete an anonymous 17-item questionnaire. Most participants exhibited a positive attitude towards physician-assisted suicide (54%) and euthanasia (75%), as well as towards their legalization. Attitudes were consistent with the underlying ethical reasoning, with no differences in terms of age, gender or academic degree. In addition, consistency was found between attitudes and willingness to participate in physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, should they be legal. The results showed that the attitudes of medical students towards euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide were positive and similar to non-medical students.

Abstract:

Background: Negative death attitudes and death fear were reported at a high level among intensive care patients. Research indicates that nurses should know the factors affecting the death attitudes and death anxiety in intensive care patients to reduce these high levels of anxiety and negative attitudes. Religions have a strong relationship with death.Aim: This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the effect of religious attitudes on death attitudes and death anxiety in elderly intensive care patients.Methods: The data of the study were collected between January 2019 and January 2020 in the intensive care unit of a university hospital in a province located in the east of Turkey. A total of 185 elderly patients participated in the study. Patient Identification Form, Ok-Religious Attitude Scale (ORAS), the Death Anxiety Scale (DAS), and Death Attitudes Profile-Revised (DAP) were used for data collection. IBM SPSS version 25.0 was used for data analysis.Results: Most of the patients (88.6%) were at high level of self-reported religious attitudes. The mean DAS score of the patients was 9.02 ± 1.64, DAP was 120.40 ± 23.70, and ORAS was 31.25 ± 2.90. According to regression analysis, the increase in ORAS scores decreased the DAS score and increased the DAP score (p <0.05).Conclusion: There was a negative relationship between religious attitudes and death anxiety and a positive relationship between religious attitudes and attitudes towards death in elderly patients in intensive care units. Nurses should evaluate the patients’ religious attitudes while they plan interventions to reduce patients’ death anxiety or to develop positive attitudes toward death in these patients.

Objectives This study was performed to indentify differences attitude toward death and death competency according to MBTI preference indicator of nursing students and to identify factors affecting death competency. Methods MBTI personality test was conducted on 224 nursing students using certified psychological counselors. Data including MBTI self scoring results were collected online using a structured questionnaire from May 1 to 20, 2022. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 22.0. Results The difference between attitude toward death and death competency according to MBTI preference indicator was that the iNtuition(N) and feeling(F) had a higher fear of death, and the extraversion(E) had a higher approach acceptance and death competency. Factors affecting the death competency were death experience, extraversion(E), neutral acceptance, and approach acceptance. Conclusions It is necessary to develop a curriculum and apply various teaching and learning methods so tha nursing students can improve the death competency. In addition, in order to strengthen psychological and spiritual adaptation, it is necessary to identify personality characteristics and provide psychological counseling and training opportunities to effectively control one’s emotions.

Abstract:

Abstract Sartre’s attitude toward medicine has been neglected by researchers, insofar as his disinterest in sciences would justify the absence in his work of a thorough reflection on medicine or disease. The publication of some unpublished works on morals written between 1961 and 1965, when the war of Algeria was coming to an end, asks to reassess this issue. In these unpublished works, especially in Les racines de l’éthique, the issue of attitudes toward life and death draws significant attention. In this article, we dwell upon Sartre’s reaction to the famous infanticide trial held in Liège in 1962, also known as the Softenon Trial. Taking a stand against the accusatory comments of leftist journals, Sartre pays scrupulous attention to the biopolitical transformations that Western societies are then experiencing. This attention should be understood in the background of Sartre’s family history as well as in an unnoticed dialogue with the School of Annales, with the history of attitudes towards life and death delineated by Philippe Ariès and also with the history of sensibilities outlined by Lucien Febvre.

In the final chapter of his book, The View from Nowhere, the American philosopher, Thomas Nagel, writes as follows about death:We do not regard the period before we were born in the same way we regard the prospect of death, yet most of the things that can be said about death are equally true of the former. Lucretius thought this showed that it was a mistake to regard death as an evil. But I believe it is an example of a more general future-past asymmetry... [Derek] Parfit has explored the asymmetry in connection with other values such as... pain. The fact that a pain (of ours) is in prospect rather than in the past has a very great effect on our attitude toward it, and this effect cannot be regarded as irrational... [the former asymmetry] can't be accounted for in terms of some other difference between past and future nonexistence, any more than the asymmetry in the case of pain can be accounted for in terms of some other differences between past and future pains, which makes the latter worse than the former.Nagel is maintaining in this quote that it is rational for a person to view pains which he is apt to experience in the future in a manner different from the way in which he views pains which he has experienced in the past. Nagel is saying that it is rational for a person to think of his future pains as more undesirable than his past ones. And Nagel claims that there is a similar asymmetry between a rational person's attitude towards a past in which he did not exist and a time in the future when he will not exist. In Nagel's view, just as a rational person will think of pains which he will experience as more undesirable than pains which he had in the past, he will think of his not existing in the future as much more undesirable than his not having existed in the past.
