Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of death anxiety, end-of-life nursing competency, and empathy with regard to end-of-life care stress among new nurses. Methods: Data were collected 143 new nurses who experienced end-of-life care in the university hospital located in G Province. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis with SPSS/WIN 25.0. Results: Factors influencing end-of life care stress in the participants were death anxiety (β=.66, p<.001), end-of-life competency (β=-.25, p=.003). The total explanatory power was 57.8%. Conclusion: In this study, death anxiety and end-of-life competency were found to be influential factors affecting end-of-life care stress in new nurses. A systematic intervention program to address death anxiety and end-of-life competency is needed to decrease end-of-life nursing stress among new nurses.
