Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the cognition of terminal stage patients'dignity therapy,attitude towards its concept and scheme,willingness of its promotion in college students and to gain some recommendations for improvement.Methods:Combined quantitative and qualitative methods,an anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted in a convenience sample of 220 college students,of which 20 students were selected for in-depth interviews.Results:Only 17.73％ of students had a correct understanding of dignity therapy,94.98％ of them accepted its concept,92.96％ of them held a positive attitude,74.38％ of them were willing to promote dignity therapy,in which female students were dominated (P =0.041).Interview results showed that the contents of dignity therapy were to some extent stiff and not fit for Chinese patients,which might impede its promotion.Conclusion:College students lack the cognition of dignity therapy.But they hold a positive attitude and are willing to promote dignity therapy when they get to know its concept and contents.As seen,dignity therapy has a good future but there are still some obstructions in the promotion,and need to be localized.
