title: Education about death, dying, and bereavement in nursing programs.
abstract: The authors report the results of a March 1992 survey of 650 baccalaureate nursing education programs concerning the education that they provide in the area of death, dying, and bereavement. The survey inquired about death education content in the curriculum, theoretic models, and whether organ/tissue donation is addressed. Results indicate that many schools are using outdated models. The authors suggest ways to address these issues more adequately.
