ABSTRACT
A dignified death is described as a good death or dying with dignity. Nurses caring for veterans are aware of the honor veterans can receive at the time of death. The purpose of this study was to describe and compare perceptions of a dignified death in nurses who care for veterans in Veterans Affairs settings. This descriptive, exploratory design used an online survey including scales of dying with dignity and a good death. Subjects were nurses who worked at Veterans Affairs facilities. Dying with dignity scores were high and moderately high for a good death. Good death items of wishes, peace, spirituality, and pain free were considered essential by most nurses. There was no difference in scores based on age or end-of-life experiences. Veterans Affairs nurses had a good perception of a dignified death providing a foundation for veteran support before, during, and after death.
