Abstract

Through a mixed-methods approach (randomized controlled trial and thematic analysis of pre and post-service-learning reflections), this study evaluated the impact of a student death doula service-learning experience on nursing students' palliative competencies and learning experiences. The intervention group underwent a 2-day student death doula training workshop followed by a 6-month service-learning experience, while the control group received standard palliative care education. Attitudes toward the care of the dying significantly improved for the intervention group but not for compassion competence and palliative care knowledge. Six themes were developed: (1) Motivations for being a student death doula, (2) Improved perceptions of palliative care patients, (3) Perceptions of a good death, (4) Confidence in caring for palliative care patients, (5) Understanding the multifaceted nature of palliative care, and (6) Joys and challenges during service-learning. Service-learning helped students to understand palliative care patients and acquire confidence in engaging with them.

姑息关怀环境中学生死亡陪护服务学习体验对护理专业学生的影响：混合方法试点研究。

本研究通过混合方法（随机对照试验和服务学习前后反思的主题分析）评估了学生死亡朵拉服务学习体验对护理专业学生姑息能力和学习体验的影响。干预组参加了为期 2 天的学生死亡朵拉培训研讨会，随后进行了为期 6 个月的服务学习体验，而对照组则接受了标准的姑息治疗教育。干预组对临终关怀的态度有了明显改善，但怜悯能力和姑息关怀知识却没有改善。研究提出了六个主题：（1）成为学生死亡陪护的动机；（2）改善对姑息关怀病人的看法；（3）对美好死亡的看法；（4）关怀姑息关怀病人的信心；（5）了解姑息关怀的多面性；（6）服务学习过程中的快乐与挑战。服务学习帮助学生了解姑息关怀病人，并获得与他们接触的信心。
