How The Nurses’ Attitude for Dying Patients and Their Knowledge about Palliative Care?
Öz: Objective: To determine nurses’ level of knowledge when it comesto palliative care as well as to investigate their attitudes regarding thecare of terminally ill patients.Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conductedwith the voluntary participation of 350 nurses in three majorhospitals affiliated to the General Secretariat of the Union of PublicHospitals of Sakarya. Data were gathered via a Self-description Form,the Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of Dying scale (FATCOD),and Palliative Care Knowledge Test (PCKT), and analysis wasconducted using percentages and average scores as well as the Mann-Whitney U, Kruskall-Wallis H and Pearson’s correlation tests.Results: The nurses, whose age average was 35.58±7.63 years,were predominantly female (84.3%). More than half of them weremarried (60.9%), nearly half of them were university graduates(51.4%), and 62.9% of them work in Internal Diseases units.The nurses' average PCKT score was 6.35±3.31 and their averageFATCOD score was 77.98±8.81. Marital status, level of education,and their employment units did not affect the attitudes towardsdeath (p>0.05) but they did affect palliative care knowledge levels.Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that palliative careknowledge levels of nurses were low and their attitudes toward caregiving to terminally ill people were at the medium level.

Öz: Amaç: Çalışma hemşirelerin palyatif bakım hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerini ve ölmekte olan hasta bakımına ilişkin tutumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel özellikte planlanan çalışma, kurum izni ve etik kurul onayı alındıktan sonra, Sakarya İli Kamu Hastaneleri Birliği Genel Sekreterliği’ne bağlı üç hastanede çalışan 350 hemşireyle yapıldı. Sosyo-demografik özellikleri içeren tanıtım formu, Frommelt Ölmekte Olan Bireye Bakım Vermeye İlişkin Tutum ölçeği (FATCOD) ve Palyatif Bakım Bilgi Testi (PBBT) ile toplanan verilerin analizi bilgisayar ortamında yüzdelik, ortalama, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskall-Wallis H ve Pearson’s korelasyon testleri kullanılarak yapıldı. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 35,58±7,63 olan hemşirelerin %84,3’ü kadın, %60,9’u evli, çoğunluğu lisans mezunu (%51,4) ve %62,9’u dahili birimlerde çalıştığı belirlendi. Hemşirelerin PBBT’den aldıkları ortalama puan 6,35±3,31, FATCOD puan ortalaması ise 77,98±8,81 olduğu saptandı. Medeni durum, öğrenim düzeyi ve çalışılan birim hemşirelerim ölüme ilişkin tutumlarını etkilemezken palyatif bakım bilgi düzeylerini etkilediği görüldü. Sonuç: Çalışmada hemşirelerin palyatif bakım bilgi düzeylerinin düşük ve ölmekte olan bireye bakım vermeye ilişkin tutumlarının orta düzeyde olduğu saptandı.
