This study planned as a descriptive was carried out 376 students who were educated in the first, second, third and fourth grades of the nursing department of faculty of health sciences of a university in Turkey. Data were collected with 'Death Anxiety Scale' and 'Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD-Form B)'. The students' mean score on the death anxiety scale was 32.98 +/- 15.01 and their mean score on the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale was 105.09 +/- 9.42.
