Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Nursing is a profession that is human and is based on nursing care. Humans are social creatures that need care from the moment they are born.Today's scientific developments and changing technology have affected the health system.Many dying patients want to be hospitalized in order to receive better care and treatment. Depending on this situation, the frequency of nurses giving care to dying patients and their families has increased in hospitals. In order to increase the quality of the care given to the dying patient and his family and to reduce the difficulties experienced while giving this care, the nurse who provides the care should have sufficient knowledge and skills about the care of the dying patient and his family. This research will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to determine the effect of education on the nursing care given and the difficulties experienced by the nurses who care for the dying cancer patients and their families.

- Experimental Group: Nurses who met the criteria for participating in the study were informed about the study and their consent was obtained. Data collection forms were collected by the researcher at the end of the working hours. Training groups were formed on the days and times determined according to the interviews with the clinics where the research was conducted. In each hospital, training groups were formed outside the working hours of the nurses. The training was given to the nurses in the intervention group in an environment suitable for training in two days and 4 modules using interactive teaching methods. After the training, a month was waited for the nurses in the intervention group to experience care. One month after the training was given, data collection forms were distributed to the nurses in the intervention group and asked to fill in according to their self-reports.
