| Nurses' perspectives of the quality of dying and death. Timepoint: Before the start of the clinical trial, one month after the end of the intervention period. Method of measurement: Nurses' perspectives are measured through high quality death care plan education using the Quality of Dying and Death Questionnaire (QODD). The Quality of Dying and Death Questionnaire was designed by Curtis et al. (2002) and was validated for the first time in Iran in a study by Ghahramani et al. The Quality of Dying and Death Questionnaire consists of 24 four-part questions including patient experiences at the end of life and the moment of death (15 questions), experience at the moment of death (3 questions), medical care at the end of life (4 questions), and overall care ratings (2 questions) about the quality of dying and death from the nurses' perspectives. Scores for each question are rated from zero (a terrible experience) to ten (an almost excellent experience). If the patient does not have a specific experience or the nurse does not have enough information to evaluate it, a box titled "I do not know" will be marked. Scores for each patient are determined by adding the scores from the 24 questions, dividing the total score by the number of cases, and multiplying the resulting number by ten. The final scores range from zero to one hundred, with a higher score indicating a better quality of dying and death.;Professional quality of life. Timepoint: Before the start of the clinical trial, one month after the end of the intervention period. Method of measurement: Professional quality of life is measured using the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) scale. The fifth version of the Professional Quality of Life Questionnaire (Stam, 2010) is a self-report instrument that indicates what specific experiences individuals have had in their role as a nurse during the past 30 days. The questionnaire has a total of 30 questions in three subscales: satisfaction with compassion, burnout, and sec | — |
