ABSTRACT

This study aimed to provide basic data for the development of a specialized death preparation education program and to analyze the educational perception of experts working in the field of death education. The subjects of the survey were people who had acquired the private certificate of a well-dying instructor, and the survey was conducted by mail. The results of the analysis of the questions about the contents of death education and the appropriate subjects of death education showed that “psychological stability” in death education was selected by 83.0% of subjects, and 61.7% answered that the general public are the most suitable subjects for death education. Regarding the factors influencing the education of well-dying instructors, multiple regression analysis showed that the regression model had an explanatory power of 61.5%. The influencing factors that were statistically significant were the duration of activity, the appropriate number of weekly education sessions, and the appropriate weekly education period. To sum up the results, this study aimed to help solve the problems of current education and improve well-dying education’s appropriateness and professionalism. Because the subjects were experts in the field, the results are usable and feasible. However, the questions related to “the requirement of well-dying instructors” and “the priorities of well-dying education” need to be investigated in more detail.
