Perceptions, beliefs, and anticipations regarding living wills among Master's degree nursing students in China: an exploratory qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Steeped in cultural heritage, the Chinese traditionally equate death with misfortune. This deeply rooted belief has led to a low rate of living will signings and poses challenges for implementing death education. Master's degree nursing students are instrumental in facilitating and promoting the adoption of living wills, leveraging their specialized knowledge in providing compassionate care. Despite existing research on living wills, there is a scarcity of qualitative studies that consolidate the perceptions, beliefs, and anticipations of Master's degree nursing students regarding living wills.

Aim

To scrutinize the perceptions, beliefs, and anticipations regarding living wills among Master's degree nursing students in China.
