Cultural Factors

Cultural factors play a key role in shaping individuals' perceptions of death, alongside personal beliefs, professional experience, and education. Nursing students must balance their personal and cultural values with their professional responsibilities, as cultural differences influence attitudes toward death and mourning. Understanding nursing students' perceptions of death is crucial for enhancing their education and professional competence. Integrating cultural perspectives into nursing education can help students develop a more conscious and prepared approach to end-of-life care. This study aims to explore the impact of cultural factors on nursing students' perceptions of death and propose strategies to enhance cultural sensitivity in education.
