Approach to death and dying patients and its relation with death anxiety among medical interns: a multicenter cross-sectional study
Medical interns showed moderate death anxiety and a positive attitude toward communication and avoidance of death and dying patients. Those with a higher level of death anxiety demonstrated a greater tendency to avoid dealing with dying patients and had more difficulties with communication. End-of-life training is recommended.
