    Summary

    Nursing students experience emotional distress after patient death, often without formal debriefing. Clinical instructors must provide support and debriefing following these critical events.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Debriefing is standard in simulation but rare for nursing students after patient death in clinical settings.
    • Little is known about nursing students' experiences and needs following their first patient death.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore nursing students' perceptions of their initial experience with a patient's death.
    • To identify emotional and educational support needs.

    Main Methods:

    • Pilot study design.
    • Exploration of nursing students' perceptions and experiences.
    • Inquiry into debriefing practices.

    Main Results:

    • Students reported significant emotional distress.
    • Feelings of inadequacy in communicating with and supporting grieving families were common.
