Abstract

Abstract: Objective To investigate the current situation of death anxiety of nursing interns in threegrade-A tertiary hospitals in GuangzhouCity of Guangdong Province,and explore its influencing factors,so as to provide a reference for improving the death anxiety of intern nursing students and constructing clinical death education courses. Methods From March to April 2022,317 intern nurses were selected by convenient sampling method,and investigated by the death anxiety scale,the adjustment focus scale,and the coping method scale. Results The death anxiety score of intern nursing students in threegrade-A tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou City of Guangdong Province was （44.97±8.90）points,the promotion focus score was （13.90±3.11）points,the prevention of aggregation score was （10.27±2.48）points,the positive copingscore was （33.6±7.60）points,and the negative coping score was （19.16±4.77）points. The multiple regression analysis showed that experiencing death in care of patients,participating in the care of patients' dying bodies,adjusting the level of focus and coping style were the main influencing factors of death anxiety（all P<0.05）. Conclusion The death anxiety of nursing interns in threegrade-A tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou City of Guangdong Province is at a high level,and clinical teaching hospitals should attach importance to the death education of intern nursing students,actively explore relevant factors affecting the level of death anxiety,build a suitable clinical death education curriculum,alleviate negative emotions,establish a correct concept of life and death,and then provide patients with high-quality nursing.
