Community nurses’ willingness to implement Advance Care Planning (ACP) and their attitudes toward death: current status and correlation analysis

Community nurses' willingness to implement ACP is moderately high; however, their understanding of ACP remains limited. Death attitudes are primarily characterized by "natural acceptance," though negative attitudes toward death, such as "death avoidance," persist. Enhancing death education and training, improving nurses' understanding of ACP, and fostering a more accurate perception of death are essential to facilitate broader ACP implementation in the general population.
