Résumé
Background: To develop appropriate care to patients in the end of life and their families, specific skills are required. Many professionals feel incapacitated in providing quality care in this group. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a full Palliative Care Course (2nd Nursing Degree), on perceived competence and death anxiety. Methods: We administered the first and last day of class of the course, the Bugen's coping with death scale (Bugen) and the Death Anxiety Revised Scale (MAP-R). Results: Death Competition GREATER after taken the course than before it (p = 0.000) and inversely correlated with the Death Anxiety. As greater competition less anxiety and vice versa (r = -0.389, P = 0.000). Conclusions: Participants reported an increase in perceived competition, so that express feeling more prepared and able to work with patients at end of life processes. Improved knowledge of issues related to the care of dying patients, implies a decrease in death anxiety.
