Dying With Dignity

This study aims to determine the meaning of death for nursing students and their attitudes toward dignified death principles. The descriptive study was conducted with nursing students studying at a state university in Turkey. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Personal Meanings of Death Scale (PMDS), and the Assessment Scale of Attitudes toward the Principles of Dying with Dignity (ASAPDD). A positive and low-level significant relationship was determined between the students' age and the scores for the PMDS subdimensions and the ASAPDD. It was found that the students had positive perceptions of death and adopted the principles of a dignified death. It was determined that an increase in the students' perceptions of death positively affected their adoption of the principles of a dignified death.

Aim:This study was aimed out to determine the sexual myths and personal opinions of midwifery and nursing students regarding the assessment of sexual health of individuals under their care.Method: This descriptive research was carried out with 254 students receiving education in the midwifery and nursing department of a state university. Research data was collected using Personal Information Form and Sexual Myths Scale (SMS).Findings: 89,4% of the students regarded assessment of sexual health as a requirement of their profession, while 57,1% were found to make no assessment of individuals’ sexual health, and 69,3% were found to feel uncomfortable while discussing sexual issues. 69,3% of the students deemed themselves partly sufficient as to their knowledge on sexuality, and 59,1% thought that the training on the assessment of sexual education they received during their vocational education was not sufficient. Students that do not inform individuals under their care regarding sexuality-related issues, regard the assessment of sexual health as a requirement of holistic care, and those that feel uncomfortable while discussing sexuality-related issues received higher SMS total mean scores (p<0,05).Conclusion: Preparation and extended use of a vocational education curriculum and its integration with clinical practices, are recommended to minimize and eliminate sexual myths and provide the students with competences for assessment of sexual health.
