ABSTRACT
The meaning of patient deaths is key to understanding professional bereavement. To validate its construct, we applied partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to online survey data from 563 Chinese physicians and nurses. Both the personal meaning and professional meaning contribute significantly while not interchangeably to the meaning of patient deaths. In addition to the loss of an acquaintance, the loss of a valuable life, and the loss of a professional goal, patient deaths can also mean trauma, bad luck, identity crisis, a warning, a learning opportunity, and a time to empathize with others' sufferings.
