Abstract

Death education is the foundation of developing hospice care education and the key to training nurses to master death-related knowledge and skills. Young nurses often struggle to manage death clinically due to insufficient preparation and training. The aim of this study is to explore the influence of a death education course based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (DECBTEO) on young nurses in China. Seventy young nurses from a Chinese university-affiliated hospital were selected through purposive sampling to participate in death education courses during January and February 2024. The research utilized a mixed-methods design, incorporating both pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and post-intervention interviews. Quantitative results indicated significant improvements in participants' death reflection and coping abilities. Four themes were derived from the semi-structured interviews: developing new thinking and experiences, obtaining hospice care's tips, huge obstacles that could be faced, overall assessment of the course. Our intervention proved effective in helping young nurses to engage in future hospice services with a more positive mindset and professional skills.

中国护士死亡教育的有效性：一项混合方法研究。

死亡教育是开展临终关怀教育的基础，是培养护士掌握死亡相关知识和技能的关键。由于准备和培训不足，年轻护士往往难以在临床上处理死亡。本研究旨在探讨基于布鲁姆教育目标分类法（DECBTEO）的死亡教育课程对中国年轻护士的影响。通过目的抽样，选取某大学附属医院70名年轻护士于2024年1月至2月参加死亡教育课程。本研究采用混合方法设计，包括干预前和干预后问卷调查和干预后访谈。定量结果显示，参与者的死亡反思和应对能力有显著改善。从半结构化访谈中衍生出四个主题：发展新的思维和经验，获得临终关怀的技巧，可能面临的巨大障碍，对课程的整体评估。我们的干预被证明是有效的，帮助年轻护士以更积极的心态和专业技能从事未来的安宁疗护服务。
