20242 citationsOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

In this study, nursing students held divisive attitudes on care for dying patients. However, nursing students appear to transition from unfavorable impressions of the process and encounter of caring for dying patients to positive perceptions during the actual caregiving experience. Despite their differing perspectives on caring for dying patients, students were typically empathic towards them.
