Article Synopsis
- Respiratory therapists (RTs) deal with death regularly but lack understanding of their own attitudes toward it, prompting a study to investigate how their work environment and personal traits affect these attitudes.
- A survey comparing critical care RTs (CCRTs) and non-critical care RTs (non-CCRTs) found that non-CCRTs had a lower acceptance of death and a tendency to avoid thinking about it.
- Results showed that CCRTs were more neutrally accepting of death, while factors such as experience, gender, mental health, and education on life and death significantly influenced RTs' attitudes.
