There is no sig relationship between the HCPs attitude towards death and the effectiveness of psychological care to the dying.2. The HCPs attitude towards death affects the effectiveness of psychological care to the dying.I have found myself in some tough situations when it comes to a patient that I have taken care of for a while and they die. I have found myself trying to detach myself from the patient before he/she passes. This too can be very difficult. I continue to treat my patient but I did take a few days off as well. Direct observation of doctors and nurses talking with real, stimulated, or role played patients suffering from a terminal illness has shown that they consistently use distancing tactics. These prevent them getting close to their patients’ psychological suffering and are used to try to ensure their own emotional survival. Since these tactics discourage patients from disclosing their psychological concerns they are a serious barrier to effective psychological care. If those concerned in terminal care are to risk relinquishing these distancing tactics they will need better selection, more appropriate training, regular psychological support, and real opportunities for taking time out (Magure, P. (1985). Attitudes of nurses towards death and related concepts influence end-of-life care. Determining nurses’ views and attitudes towards these concepts and the factors that affect them are necessary to ensure quality end-of-life care. Participants consist of the nurses who volunteered to take part in this descriptive study from 25 hospitals (n = 340) which has a pediatrics or adult intensive care unit and located within the boundaries of Ankara, Turkey. ‘Nurse Information Form’ and ‘Attitude Scale about Euthanasia, Death and Dying Patients (DAS)’ were used as data collection tool ( Ay, M. A., & Öz, F. (2019).It is found that there are statistically significant difference among the factors of marital status, having a child, years of experience, bereavement experience, affected by working with dying patient, definition of euthanasia, views about patients who are appropriate for euthanasia, views about patients who desire to die and feeling need for counseling on these concepts according to the mean total score of nurses’ attitudes about euthanasia, death and dying patient (p < 0.05). The results indicate that nurses are negatively affected to face the concepts of death, euthanasia and work with dying patient ( Ay, M. A., & Öz, F. (2019.)ReferencesAy, M. A., & Öz, F. (2019).
