Book Description
The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of a small group education/counseling experience on the attitudes toward death and toward dying patients of nurses who work in high risk death areas of local hospitals. The subjects were from three populations: registered nurses who work in high risk death areas of local hospitals, and who registered for a continuing education course on death and dying, registered nurses from high risk death areas of local hospitals who did not register for the course, and freshman students from a local university. The experimental design used four groups of subjects. One group experienced the treatment. Another group served as a waiting list control group and then experienced the treatment. Two groups were control groups. Subjects from all groups were given the outcome measures before the course began. Subjects from the treatment group were retested at the end of the six weeks course. Subjects from the waiting list control-treatment group were retested twice: after six weeks and twelve weeks, the latter after they had attended the six-week course. The treatment consisted of attendance at a six-week continuing education course entitled, "Coping with Death and Dying in High Risk Areas of Hospitals", in which techniques from both education and counseling were used. Two instruments were used as the dependent variables in the study: the Death Anxiety Semantic Differential, Parts I and II, and the Attitude Toward Dying Patients Questionnaire. The scores on the DASD, Part I and II were analyzed by analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, and two-way analysis of variance with the following results; (1) There were no statistically significant differences between the groups at the beginning of the experiment; (2) Subjects from the first treatment group had significantly greater changes in attitude toward death and toward dying patients as measured by the DASD, Part I and II, than subjects in the waiting list control group: (3) There was no significant difference between pre-post-attendance scores of both treatment groups as measured by the DASD, Part I because of interaction. There was a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-attendance scores of subjects from both treatment groups as measured by the DASD, Part II. A change score was computed for each subject based on answers to three of the questions on the Attitude Toward Dying Patients Questionnaire. Scores were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance which showed a statistically significant difference in attitude change toward death and dying between subjects who experienced the treatment and control group subjects. Responses to nineteen questions on the Attitude Toward Dying Patients Questionnaire were examined by item analysis of coded responses. Because of the lack of statistical analyses on these items, findings are considered extremely tentative. It appears, however, that the course did have an impact in changing attitudes of subjects from the first treatment group. Change of attitude of subjects from the waiting list control-treatment group occurred less frequently. It was concluded that attendance at the continuing education/counseling course on death and dying did appear to have an impact on changing attitudes toward death and toward dying patients of the nurses from high risk death areas who attended the course

Book Description
Nurse educators have identified that historically nurses have not been preparedto care for dying patients. Research also has identified that nursing students haveanxieties about death, dying, and caring for dying patients. Several factors have beenidentified as affecting nurses', nursing students', and medical students' attitudes toward care of the dying. Factors addressed in this research will be death education, and death experience. As part of a national movement to improve end-of-life (EOL) care, schools ofnursing are starting to implement EOL education in their curricula. This researchlooked at one component of EOL education, which incorporates experiential learningusing Quint's (1967) model of death education and transformative learning theory. The educational experiences were geared to help students understand the skills neededto competently and compassionately care for the dying; those behaviors include: (1)responding during the death scene, (2) providing comfort, (3) responding to anger, (4)enhancing personal growth, (5) responding to colleagues, (6) enhancing the quality oflife during dying, and (7) responding to the family (Degner, Gow, & Thompson,1991). The study examined the long-term effects of an educational experience todetermine if a one- time educational experience provides sufficient, lasting effects in a6-week format. Results of this study indicate that education can have a positive effect onnursing students' attitudes toward care of the dying. Nursing students in the treatmentgroup had a significant positive increase in their attitudes toward care of thedying after the treatment. It was also noted on the pretest that those students who hadprevious experience in caring for dying patients had a statistically significant higherpositive attitude toward care of the dying than those who did not have previousexperience in care of the dying. The attitude change increased slightly after a 4-weekperiod. The use of the End of Life Nursing Education Consor.
