Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the confidence and educational needs of clinical nurses in care for the family of dying patients. Methods: The subjects of this study were 218 clinical nurses working at two tertiary general hospitals located in D city, Korea, and the data were collected through online questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Scheffe test and 𝝌2 test using the SPSS WIN 20.0 program. Results: 97.6% of clinical nurses recognized the need for family care for dying patients, but 76.7% had never received any education on family care for dying patients. The average score of dying patients' confidence in family care was 3.09. About 90% of clinical nurses were willing to participate in family nursing education for dying patients. The group with more than 5 years of clinical experience was significantly higher than the group with less than 5 years of clinical experience. Conclusion: This study recognized the necessity of family nursing for dying patients highly. It is necessary to develop and apply an educational program based on the education topic that recognizes the need highly.
