SPSS 23.0 was used for independent-samples t-test and ANOVA analysis, and multiple regression equation was used to further analyze the relationship between the cognitive factors of death education in pediatric nurses. Results:The total score of death education cognition of pediatric nurses was (35.61±5.64) points, which was lower than the median score of 36 points. The degree of death education cognition of pediatric nurses was at the medium-low level. The results of correlation analysis showed that the professional title of nurses (regression coefficient: 0.064, P=0.045), the training demand for death education (regression coefficient: 0.300, P<0.001), and the way of understanding (regression coefficient: 0.018, P=0.003) were independent influencing factors of the death education cognition level of pediatric nurses. Conclusions:Pediatric nurse death education related theoretical knowledge should be improved through various professional trainings. The hospitals should include death education in pediatric nurse continuing education training plan to improve pediatric nurses' cognitive level of death education through a variety of ways and means, promote the application of death education activities carried out in pediatric ward in the hospice care, reduce deaths impact to nurse their own emotions, and alleviate parents' anxiety and painful experience, thereby improving medical satisfaction.
