Background:

New graduate nurses often lack sufficient preparation for end-of-life care (EOLC).
There is a need for effective training programs to enhance nurses' EOLC skills.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a blended learning program combining an interactive e-book and experiential learning.
To improve end-of-life care knowledge, attitudes, satisfaction, and reflection among new graduate nurses.

Main Methods:

A mixed-methods study involving 65 new graduate nurses.
Intervention: e-book self-learning followed by simulated post-mortem care.
Data collection: questionnaires and reflective worksheets.

Main Results:

Significant improvement in EOLC knowledge, with greater gains from experiential learning.
Modest attitude changes observed, with short-term effects from experiential learning.
High satisfaction reported; qualitative reflections indicated enhanced competence and reduced fear.

Conclusions:

The digital-experiential model effectively improved new graduate nurses' EOLC competencies.
Integrating this training into regular education can support high-quality, dignified end-of-life care.
