Using Death Cafés as a method for discussing death and dying with third year student nurses.

Background: Death Cafés are increasingly being held to facilitate discussions around death and dying and end-of-life issues with the public. They are thought to provide a safe, confidential and interactive space in which sensitive and supportive conversations about death and dying and end-of-life are shared.

Aim: To explore nursing students' experiences of participating in a modified Death Café and its impact on their learning about death and dying.
