| Abstract: | Hospital nurses are expected to care for dying patients. Such care provokes many undesired emotions and attitudes that affect the quality of care. This study aims to assess the attitudes of Jordanian nurses toward caring for dying patients in addition to examining the relationship between nurses' attitudes toward caring for dying patients and their selected characteristics. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional research design was used to recruit a total of 290 Jordanian nurses from two hospitals in Jordan. The findings of this study revealed a significant correlation between nurses' attitudes toward caring for dying patients and receiving educational courses on palliative care (p =.008). Also, the study found a correlation between nurses' attitudes toward caring for dying patients and prior experience attending death cases (p =.004). The attitudes nurses have toward caring for dying patients are affected by educational courses, which make these attitudes adjustable toward the positive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
