Abstract

This research brief shares the findings of a qualitative research study that solicited the opinions of current State Tested Nurse Aides (STNAs), registered nurses (RNs), and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) to gain an understanding of the culture of death and dying in long-term care and to assess the educational needs of STNAs in regards to end-of life care for residents in long-term care facilities.
