Attitudes toward caring for terminally ill patients among community nurses in Shanghai: A cross-sectional study
Community nurses in Shanghai exhibit moderate attitudes toward caring for terminally ill patients. Nurses with greater death coping ability and those who participated in blended death education tended to have more positive attitudes toward terminally ill patients. These findings underscore the potential of blended death education as a practical strategy to enhance hospice care quality in community health service centers.
