临床医学与护理学专业学生对死亡态度的调查分析

Attitudes to death among medical and nursing students

目的调查临床医学与护理学专业学生对死亡的态度,希望能有助于推动不同专业生死教育课程设计与发展。方法使用死亡态度描绘修订版量表对某西医院校临床医学专业三年级学生119名、某中医院校护理专业三年级学生116名进行调查。结果学生中有90%参加过葬礼,且过半学生阅读过死亡方面相关书籍。两个专业学生对死亡的态度均以自然接受为主。护理专业学生在死亡恐惧与死亡逃避2个维度上得分均高于临床医学生,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论相较于临床医学专业学生,护理学专业学生对死亡的态度更倾向于"恐惧与逃避"。建议开展具有针对性的生死观教育,以帮助学生更加深入了解生命与死亡。

Objective To investigate attitudes to death among medical and nursing students,and provide reference for designing and developing the curriculum of death education in different specialty. Methods Totally 119 thirdyear medical students and 116 third-year nursing students were investigated with Death Attitude Profile-Revised（DAP-R） in this study. Results Among the students,90% of them did participate in funerals,and more than half of them did read books about death. Most respondents demonstrated an attitude of neutral acceptance to death.However,the score of nursing students was significantly higher than that of medical students on the attitudes to fear of death and death avoidance（P〈0.05）. Conclusion Nursing students tended to have more fear and anxiety toward death than medical students. It is suggested to develop individual death education,which will contribute to in-depth knowledge of life and death among medical and nursing students.
