ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure the degree of terminal care performance in hospital nurses. This was a Delphi research study that drew a collective consensus through a review by a panel of experts. The panel was organized by experts and two rounds of questionnaire surveys were administered. All the participants in the panel for the Delphi survey were nurses with more than seven years of experience in terminal care and twelve and sixteen nurses were surveyed in the first and second rounds, respectively. The developed scale for the degree of terminal care performance has a total of 46 items and comprises 15 items for before dying, 17 for during dying, and 14 for after death. The results of this study are expected to be utilized in the development of end-of-life nursing education programs that improve hospital nurses' job satisfaction by alleviating their burden due to terminal care and allowing them to provide terminal care suitable for the patient's situation.
