ABSTRACT Aim: Although it is a part of the normal life process, encountering death and giving care to a patient in this process cause different attitudes in nurses. The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of students who are faced with death both in social life and in clinical practice, towards the principles of respectable death. Method: It is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The universe of the research consisted of 347 students studying in the nursing department of a university and the research was completed with 147 students who agreed to participate in the research. The Information Form and the Attitude Scale towards the Principles of Respectable Death were used as data collection tools in the study. An e-form was used to collect the data and the questionnaire was sent to the students via e-mail. Data were analyzed with the Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H test. Results: 80.3% of the students participating in the study were women. 77.6% of the students stated that they encountered a person who was about to die in their social life. 83.7% of the students stated that they wanted the moment of death to take place in the hospital, 80.3% of them wanted to know when their death was approaching, and 78.9% of them wanted their parents to be with them at the time of death. In addition, 73.5% of the students stated that they did not have knowledge about the principles of respectable death and 91.2% stated that they wanted to receive training on the death process. The median of the Respectable Death Principles was significantly higher for female students than for male students (Z=-2.344, p=0.019). The other significant result was between the years of education. The median (52 (12-60)) of the senior students was significantly higher than the other grade levels (KW=9.220, p<0.027).
