dc.description.abstractAim: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted to analyze the attitudes towards death and spiritual support perceptions of nurses who care for patients in the terminal period and their relationship. Material and Methods: The population consisted of 378 nurses. The study sample was calculated according to the sample size of a specific population and included 198 nurses. The data were collected with the Personal Information Form, Attitude towards Death Scale, and Perception of Spiritual Support Scale. Data were analyzed using Kruskall Wallis Analysis of Variance, Correlation Analysis, and Mann-Whitney U Test. Results: The nurses’ gender and education level caused a difference in terms of their attitudes towards death. Fear of death and death avoidance scores of women were higher than those of men. As the educational level of nurses increases, their attitudes towards death change positively. As the perception of spiritual support increases, the positive attitude towards death also increases. Conclusion: It can be said that paying attention to variables such as gender, education level, and attitude towards death while planning the nurse workforce in inpatient units where end-of-life care is provided will increase the quality of nursing care.
