Purpose: This study was conducted to comprehensively investigate nursing students' experience of their first encounter with death of a patient during clinical practice. Methods: This study took place from January 27 through March 6, 2012 with eight female senior nursing students enrolled at Pusan National University located in Y city who have experienced patient death. We collected their experience of their first death encounter during their clinical rotation by asking, "What is your first experience of patient's death during the clinical practice?" Husserl's phenomenological approach was applied in this study. Results: In this study, 17 themes, 15 clusters of themes and eight categories were derived. The categories included "Desire to avoid the reality of death", "Powerlessness", "Anticipation for recovery shifted to fear of death", "Various interpretations of death", "Limitations in their nursing practice", "Resentment of lack of nurses", "Longing to better understand death", and "Motivation for inner growth". Conclusion: Through their first encounter with death of a patient, nursing students experienced various emotions and viewed their role as hospice caregiver by projecting themselves as fully trained nurses in future. Participants considered terminal care as a part of nursing care. The result of this study indicates the need to include education of death in the nursing school curriculum.

Purpose: This study was performed to explore the current state of end-of-life (EoL) care education provided to new interns at two university hospitals. Methods: A questionnaire was given to incoming interns (N=64). The levels of acquired knowledge and experience of clinical observation were measured. Seven areas for self-assessment questions were identified and used to analyze the interns' attitudes towards EoL-related education and practice. Results: On average, participants learned five elements (nine in total) from EoL-related classes and two (seven in total) from clinical observation. The most frequently educated element was how to deliver bad news (96.9%) in the classroom setting and how to control physical symptoms (56.5%) in clinical observation. Less than 20% received training on EoL care communication, including discussion of advanced directives. Compared with participants who had no EoL training, those who had EoL training showed positive attitudes in all seven categories regarding overall satisfaction, interest and preparedness in relation to EoL-care classes and practice. Conclusion: Although interns are responsible for caring of dying patients, their EoL training in classroom and clinical settings was very insufficient. Further research should be conducted to establish an education system that provides sufficient knowledge and training on EoL care.

The purpose of this study was to compare radiation dose among workers in the radiation zone and to compare the doses of students in clinical practice in the same area to provide basic data on optimization of radiation protection. The subjects were 121 radiation related workers, 36 radiation workers, and 121 students who completed 8 weeks of clinical practice from Jan. 2016 to Dec. The depth and surface dose between the radiation related workers and the radiation workers were the highest with $.7440{\pm}1.676mSv$ and $.7753{\pm}1.730mSv$, respectively, and statistically significant (p<.01). Among the three groups, the depth dose was the highest at $.143{\pm}.136mSv$ for clinical practice students and the highest at surface dose of $.1513{\pm}.139mSv$. The lowest in both cases, The mean difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p<.01). In conclusion, it is necessary to manage thoroughly according to the ALARA(As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle. Especially, it is necessary to systematically manage the dose of radiation for clinical students who are in the blind spot of radiation safety management.
