ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how cultural factors influence nursing students' views on death. It recognizes that personal beliefs and cultural backgrounds can shape how future nurses perceive death and handle situations related to end-of-life care. By understanding these views, the study aims to improve nursing education and help students become more sensitive and prepared when caring for patients and families facing death.

To participate in this study, students must be in their third year of nursing school at a university in Ankara during the 2024-2025 academic year and have a smartphone that can take pictures. They also need to be willing to take part in the research.
