Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study，I developed an attitude education and training program aimed at evolving the mitori skills of mid-career nurses，continually exposed to patient death.
I conducted a snsiysis The results revealed that there were nine attitudes and three associated factors for nurses' attitudes towards death in a scoping review.
In addition, when the programme was developed and implemented based on a survey of specialist oncology nurses, the response to participation was generally favourable in the free response. However, existing measures did not show significant changes after the training. This suggests that there is room for improvement in the content and methods of the attitude development programme.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

多死社会の到来により、quality of deathに対する関心が高まるなか、患者の死を看取る中堅看護師の態度を明らかにし、支援体制を構築してくことは急務である。特に「ご遺体」となった患者の死と向き合うことで生じた看護師の思い、行動などを踏まえ、看護師自身の死への態度を見つめ直すことは、患者や家族の予期悲嘆への支援を考える上で重要であり、患者個々のquality of deathを尊重する上でも重要である。
