The Evaluation of Two Death Education Programs for EMTs Using the Theory of Planned Behavior
Smith-Cumberland, Tracy
Death Studies, v30 n7 p637-647 Sep 2006
The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two death education programs by comparing pretest and posttest scores of behavioral intentions and (reported) behavior of EMTs when at the scene of a death. After the interventions, the majority of EMTs intended to change their behavior at the scene of a death when compared to the control group. In a three-month follow-up study, the majority of EMTs who received the intervention (and made a death notification) changed their behavior. In this sample, these programs were effective in changing the behavioral intentions of EMTs. (Contains 2 tables.)
