Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS 19.0 programs. Results: The significant predictors that affected nurses' attitude toward dignified death were experience of suffering, emotional expression of loss, religion and educational level. The explained variance for nurses' attitude toward dignified death was 63.9% and the most significant factor was emotional expression of loss. Conclusion: These results suggest that attitude toward dignified death of nurses can be changed positively by communicating emotional expression of loss and their suffering experience.
