dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the perspective of good death and related factors among healthcare professionals (HCPs), as well as to compare the perspective of good death regarding to live region and occupation. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed one hundred ninety-five HCPs. The good death scale (GDS) was used to assess the perspective of HCPs on the concept of good death. Results: A total of 195 HCPs were included in this study. One hundred twenty-four (63.6%) participants were women. Ninety-eight (50.3%) and 95 (48.7%) of the participants were registered nurses and were living in the east, respectively. Seventy-five (38.5%) of the participants had 11 years or more of professional experience, and 132 (67.7%) of them grew up in the region where they worked. The mean score of all participants in GDS was 57.5 +/- 6.3, and the mean scores of the sub-dimensions were 30.9 +/- 3.8 for the psychosocial and spiritual sub-dimension, 10 +/- 1.9 for the personal control sub-dimension and 16.6 +/- 2.4 for the clinical sub-dimension. In multiple linear regression, living in the east, being a nurse, being a woman, and taking education on good death were positively related to the GDS score of the HCPs. Conclusion: Given the growing importance of good death, it is increasingly important to clarify the definitions and constantly raise awareness by providing appropriate education. In this study, the small number of participants and the inhomogeneous distribution of the sample by age, gender, occupation, and region could lead to potential biases and concerns about generalizability. It is recommended to conduct research using a scale to assess nurses' and doctors' perceptions of death in a more homogeneous and larger group.
