Description
Summary:This mixed methods research study aimed to determine spiritual care competencies and death anxiety levels of nursing students practicing in intensive care. The quantitative part of this study included 33 students while the qualitative part included 17 students. Nursing students' spiritual care competence was detected to be above medium and their death anxiety was high. Two themes emerged from the qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews with 17 nursing students: (a) Views on spiritual care competencies and (b) Views on death. These findings are significant to reduce nursing students' death anxiety, increase spiritual care competencies and the quality of patients' end-of-life care.
