Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influences of death perception, terminal care attitude on clinical nurses' terminal care performance for cancer patients. Methods: Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires filled by 526 nurses at a General Hospital in Seoul. Data were analyzed using a multiple regression analysis. Results: Death perception showed a positive correlation with terminal care attitude (r = .45, p < .001), while there was no correlation with terminal care performance. Additionally, terminal care attitude had a positive correlation with terminal care performance (r = .18, p < .001). The explanatory power of nurses' death perception and terminal care attitude toward terminal care performance was 14%. Conclusions: The study results imply that nurses' death perception and terminal care attitude are significant variables affecting terminal care performance.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of death perception, terminal care stress, and resilience on the terminal care performance of clinical nurses. Methods: As a correlational study, this study conducted a survey total of 189 nurses working at K university hospital and a P university hospital in B metropolitan city for six months or more. The data was collected from August 20th, 2020 to September 15th, 2020. Data were analyzed using the SPSS, Windows version 25.0, according to the purpose of the analysis by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple linear regression. Results: The factors having effects on the terminal care performance of subjects were resilience, perception of death, and the experience of terminal care education. The total explanatory power of those variables on the terminal care performance was 21.0%. Conclusion: For the improvement of terminal care performance, it would be necessary to develop a systematic and professional terminal care education program that could increase the positive perception of death and resilience, and also include knowledge and skills necessary for terminal care. Also, the efficiency of terminal care performance should be increased through periodic terminal care-related nursing education.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors affecting the terminal care stress of nurses in intensive care units in terms of their death perception, attitude toward terminal care, and mental health. Methods: This descriptive study collected data from 118 nurses in intensive care units in one tertiary referral hospital and three general hospitals. The instruments used in the study were the Terminal Care Stress Assessment Tool, the View of Life and Death Scale, the Frommelt Attitudes toward Nursing Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD), and the Mental Health Assessment Tool. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between terminal care stress and death perception (r=.31, p<.001). The factors significantly influencing the terminal care stress of the participants included gender (β=.33, p<.001), religion (β=.24, p=.004), and death perception (β=.35, p<.001), and the overall explanatory power was 23.1% (F=12.73, p<.001). Conclusion: To decrease terminal care stress among nurses, establishing the death perception of nurses based on value clarification about death may be necessary. Furthermore, this study suggests an intervention study examining the effect of an education program on terminal care stress among ICU nurses.

Firstly, attitude towards terminal care was positively affected by compassion satisfaction. Secondly, the attitude towards terminal care was negatively affected by compassion fatigue. Thirdly, the attitude towards terminal care was negatively affected by burnout. In conclusion, these findings provide strong empirical evidence for the importance of compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction and burnout in explaining attitude towards terminal care among care providers in long-term care facilities.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of death anxiety and perceived end-of-life care competencies on the fear of terminal care among clinical nurses. Methods: This correlational study was conducted from June to July 2021. The study included 149 clinical nurses employed at a tertiary hospital and seven other hospitals. The measurement tools used in this study were the Thanatophobia Scale (Cronbach's α=0.87), the Death Anxiety Scale (Cronbach's α=0.80), and the Scale of End-of-life Care Competencies (Cronbach's α=0.94). These instruments were chosen to assess the levels of fear of terminal care, death-related anxiety, and competencies in end-of-life care. Results: The mean score for fear of terminal care was 3.32±1.32. Differences in fear of terminal care were observed based on the working unit, position, number of patients requiring terminal care, and experience with end-of-life care education. Fear of terminal care was significantly positively correlated with death anxiety and significantly negatively correlated with end-of-life care competencies. In multiple regression analysis, the factors influencing fear of terminal care were attitudes toward end-of-life care competencies (𝛽=-0.39, P<0.001), death anxiety (𝛽=0.24, P<0.001), knowledge of end-of-life care competencies (𝛽=-0.22, P=0.005), and behaviors related to end-of-life care competencies (𝛽=-0.16, P=0.021). These factors explained 64.6% of the total variance (F=25.54, P<0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that developing nurses' end-of-life care competencies and reducing death anxiety are crucial for managing the fear of terminal care. Therefore, providing end-of-life care education and psychological support programs is important.

Purpose: This study developed a structural model for explaining and predicting terminal care performance in long-term care hospital nurses. The model was based on the stress integration model of Ivancevich and Matteson(1980) and the results of previous studies. Method: Data was obtained from August to September 2022 from 267 nurses in 13 long-term care hospitals in G-do. Results: Results of model verification for this study, revealed that factors directly affecting the terminal care performance of long-term care hospital nurses were nursing work environment(β=0.43, p<0.001), death anxiety(β=-0.29, p<0.001), and terminal care stress(β=0.22, p=0.003). However, the attitude toward nursing care of dying(β=0.07, p=0.287) had no effect on the terminal care performance. Conclusion: The results of this study, confirmed the necessity of improving an individual's perceived nursing work environment, continuous education related to terminal care to reduce death anxiety, and an interventional approach for enhancing terminal care performance.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of nurses' attitude toward death and their perception of hospice and palliative care on their terminal care stress in long-term care hospitals (LCHs). Methods: Participants included 127 nurses from 6 Incheon LCHs. Data were collected between July and August, 2020. Self-report questionnaires were administered to collect data on their general characteristics, terminal care stress, attitude toward death, and perception of hospice and palliative care. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple linear regression using the SPSS 23.0 statistical program. Results: Nurses' terminal care stress was affected by their attitude toward death (𝛽=.30, p<.001) and perception of hospice and palliative care (𝛽=.28, p=.002) with an explanatory power of 21.6%. Conclusion: Terminal care stress was significantly associated with their attitude toward death and perception of hospice and palliative care. Therefore, educating nurses in LCHs about death and hospice and palliative care is essential to manage their terminal care stress effectively.
