Abstract
We developed the first endâofâlife care education program for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses in Japan. It focused on ethical decision making, care of dying neonates, bereavement, and cultural communication. The program improved nurses' knowledge, F(2.16, 62.5) = 260.6, p < .001, and understanding, F(2.05, 59.4) = 29.1, p < .001, and significantly reduced weaknesses in neonatal endâofâlife care. It was considered well designed and may provide further mentoring support for NICU nurses.
