Abstract: ［Abstract］Objective〖HTSS〗To understand the demand for death anxiety training of intensive care unit(ICU) nurses in a tertiary hospital in Hebei Province and the effect of systematic training, and provide a reference for the purposeful and systematic implementation of systematic death education and training in the future.
〖WTHZ〗Methods〖HTSS〗The nurses working in the ICU of the Chest Hospital of Hebei Province were taken as the research objects, and survey analysis was performed through the “Chinese version of the Death Anxiety Scale” and the death anxiety training requirement percentage system.
〖WTHZ〗Results〖HTSS〗The older the ICU nurses were, the higher the death anxiety level was(P＜0.01). The higher the age, the higher the education, the higher the professional title, and the longer the number of working years, the higher the ICU nurse′s death education needs score(P＜0.01). Death anxiety score was positively related to the need for death education(P＜0.05). Logistics regression results showed that the title level was an important factor affecting the demand for death education and training. The death anxiety score of ICU nurses after training was significantly lower than before training(P＜0.05).
〖WTHZ〗Conclusion〖HTSS〗The death anxiety score is positively related to the demand for death education training. The higher the level of professional title, the stronger the urgency of receiving systematic death education training. After training, the death anxiety score of ICU nurses was significantly reduced, which is worth promoting death education training.
