Abstract:
Objective:To explore latent categories of death literacy among oncology nurses and analyze their influencing factors to inform the development of targeted interventions.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 560 oncology nurses from three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, from June to July 2024 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, Death Literacy Index, Self-Competence in Death Work Scale, and Hospice Care Environment Scale were used to conduct the survey. Oncology nurses' death literacy categories were explored using latent profile analysis, and factors influencing each category were explored using unordered multicategorical Logistic regression analysis.Results:The 560 oncology nurses' death literacy were categorized into three profiles of low-level death literacy group (31.8%), medium-level death literacy group (50.7%), and high-level death literacy group (17.5%). Unordered multicategorical Logistic regression analysis showed that receiving death education and training since work, self-assessment of psychological status, self-competence in death work, and evaluation of the hospice care environment were influencing factors in the latent category of death literacy among oncology nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There is group heterogeneity in death literacy among oncology nurses, which is influenced by a variety of factors. Nursing managers can provide targeted interventions for oncology nurses based on different latent categories to improve their death literacy.
