Abstract
In today's society interest in beautiful death is rising. This study investigated the perception of death and well-dying-terminal care attitude-of nursing students and determined the factors that influence their attitude on terminal care and beautiful death. Data was collected from 319 baccalaureate nursing students in S-City, Kyunggido, in Korea using a self-reported questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Person's correlation coefficients, and multiple stepwise regression, using WIN SPSS 18.0 program. There were significant differences in terminal care attitude of subjects in accordance with the experience of hospice education (F=2.53, p=.012), experience with the death of close acquaintances (F=3.37, p=.001), and perceived health status (F=5.37 p=.005). There was a positive correlation between perception of death and well-dying (r=.23, p<.001), and the relationship between well-dying and terminal care attitudes was also statistically significant (r=.22, p<.001). Factors that influence the attitude on terminal care were well-dying (${\beta}=.19$) and experience with the death of close acquaintances (${\beta}=.16$). It is necessary to develop an education program for nursing students to promote positive attitudes toward the perception of death and well-dying, as well as toward terminal care.
