Why is it important?
The topic is timely and important due to the limited knowledge about these issues from a Turkish point of view.
Perspectives
It was difficult to do this research, because generally these issues were avoided and discomforted in my country. However, in this process I have had the opportunity to examine my own opinions and attitudes. I could announce the perspective of the nurses in my country to the world, and gave them a little awareness. I think, despite all of the difficulties, working with death issues is quite formative in exploring the meaning of your life.
