Attitude towards death refers to an individual's evaluative and stable reactions to death events, reflecting their psychological tendencies and characteristics. ... Death is an inevitable part of life, and individuals must face the reality of death. ... The findings of this study suggest that real clinical experiences in the emergency department contribute to nursing students' development of a positive attitude towards death and a more positive view of providing end-of-life care in a hospital setting. Incorporating teachings on end-of-life care in a hospital setting into death education courses can further enhance nursing students' understanding and acceptance of end-of-life care.
