Summary:This descriptive qualitative study was planned to determine the views of intern nursing students about death and end-of-life care.

As a result of the study, the categories of ‘end,’ ‘uncertainty,’ ‘fear,’ ‘beginning,’ ‘helplessness’ under the theme of death, ‘ensuring peace,’ ‘continuing communication’ ‘providing psychosocial/spiritual support,’ ‘acting in conformity with principles of ethics/morality,’ ‘continuing to provide physical care,’ ‘supporting the family,’ ‘making the best use of the limited remaining time or helping the patient’s last wishes come true’ under the theme of end-of-life care emerged.
