title: Death experience and death anxiety among nurses and nursing students.
abstract: Educational programs designed to deal with death anxiety among nursing students are based to some extent on an untested assumption: that experience with death and dying is inversely related to death anxiety. In a study of death experience and death anxiety among 76 nurses and nursing students, the assumption was only partially supported. Additional findings suggested areas for needed future research.
