Perceptions and attitudes of nursing students toward end-of-life care: A qualitative study at a tertiary hospital in Uganda

In this study, nursing students exhibited divisive attitudes toward EOLC starting with uncertainty and fear, then often growing into confidence and compassion. These powerful experiences show how much EOCL can shape students personally and professionally, highlighting the need for greater support in their educational journey. Further research could help understand how this process unfolds in different settings.

Abstract

In this study, nursing students exhibited divisive attitudes toward EOLC starting with uncertainty and fear, then often growing into confidence and compassion. These powerful experiences show how much EOCL can shape students personally and professionally, highlighting the need for greater support in their educational journey. Further research could help understand how this process unfolds in different settings.
