Do Death Attitudes of Nurses and Physicians Differ?

Campbell, Thomas W.; And Others

Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v14 n1 p43-49 1983-84

Compared the death attitudes of physicians (N=25) and nurses (N=31) who had daily contact with terminally ill patients. Results suggested that professional role rather than gender may account for attitude differences. Defensive styles used by doctors and nurses contributed to the attitude differential. (JAC)
