Therefore, the purpose of this descriptive and cross-sectional study was to determine the perception of a good death and the factors contributing to it by nurses caring for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU). It was carried out with nurses caring for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the ICU (n = 369). Data were collected using a questionnaire and the Good Death Scale. The mean score of the participants scale was 56.84 +/- 7.51. In this study, nurses have seen as important statements that include ensuring a peaceful death, being with their loved ones, meeting a person's spiritual needs, and having an opportunity to say goodbye for the good death. The factors contributing to the perception of a good death were gender, marital status, and feeling sad when caring for a dying patient (p < .05).en10.1177/00302228231156945info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCOVID-19Good DeathNursesPandemicIntensive Care UnitFamily-MembersExperiencesAttitudesArticleN/AWOS:0009308056000012-s2.0-8514850787836789743Q2
