ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of bioethics education on death perception and attitude and the awareness of biomedical ethics of nursing students. Methods: A total of 253 nursing students participated in the study. Research tools measuring perception of death, attitude to death, awarness of biomedical ethics were used. Data was analyzed utilizing the t-test, ANOVA and descriptive statistics. Results: In the perception of death, the students who received education on bioethics were more positive about death (p=.014). In the attitude towards death, the non - bioethics education group had a higher neutral acceptance for death (p=.022). In the right to life of fetus (p=.040), artificial arbortion (p<.001), right to life of newborn (p=.021), organ transplantation (p=.049), the bioethics education group had the higher awareness of the biomedical ethics. There was a significant difference in biomedical ethics perception depending on grade, religion, DNR education, death experience, whether DNR will be administered to the family, and will DNR would be administered to them. Conclusion: Study results indicated the need to take bioethics education to form positive attitude and attitude toward death and improve the biomedical ethics consciousness.
