Aims: Death is an important and significant issue in nursing. The present study aimed to explain death anxiety among nursing students using a qualitative approach.
Participants & Methods: The present qualitative study was conducted on 12 nursing students from the School of Nursing and Midwifery in Zahedan during 2023-2024. The participants were selected through purposive sampling and attended semi-structured interviews after providing informed consent. The interviews were immediately transcribed and analyzed using a conventional content analysis technique. The data were coded by MAXQDA2020 software and analyzed using the content analysis method proposed by Graneheim and Lundman.
Findings: The students recognized the reality of death and its existential necessity. They also pointed to the lack of confrontation with death and after-death experiences, the meaning of death, the quality of death and dying, concerns about survivors, and emotional confrontation.
Conclusion: There are many concepts regarding the concept of death, with one of the most important ones highlighted by almost all participants being the reality of death and its existential necessity.
