The present paper describes a method of learning by literature for terminal care.
The learning was carried out to the first-year students who were in two-year college. The support will to patients with the terminal illness, the recognition of support, a behavioral tendency, evaluation for summary card of literature, and the results of the questionnaire were analyzed.
The mean score of the support will after learning was higher than that before learning and t value of 6.05 with 38 df computed was significant at P<0.01. At the recognition of support and a behavioral tendency, students who showed an attitude for support and the will for physical care increased significantly when the learning was finished (attitude: x
2=4.86, df=1, P<0.05; will: P=0.016*10
-5, P<0.001). About 50 percents of students were not active toward the learning by literature. On the other hand, most students who got more than the average mark of evaluation for summary card of literature were active toward the learning (P=0.039, P<0.05). All students answered this learning by literature would be useful for the practice of terminal care.
On the basis of the results obtained, a method of learning by literature for terminal care was discussed.
