Abstract

The purposes of this descriptive research were to describe knowledge, attitude, and self efficacy in end-of-life care of senior military student nurses, and to examine the relationships among those three variables. The 153 student nurses were recruited. All sample student nurses completed four questionnaires: one demographic experience care training program ethical questionnaire and three separated questionnaires of knowledge, attitude, and self efficacy in end-of-life care. Statistical analyses used were descriptive statistics and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The results revealed that the average score of student nurses’ knowledge and self efficacy related to end of life care was at a moderate, while attitude score was quite high. There was a significant relationship between attitude and knowledge, attitude and self efficacy. However, there was no significant relationship between knowledge and self efficacy. The results provide the latest information for appropriate planning and educational guideline to enhance military student nurses competencies to provide quality of end of life care.
