This scale's purpose is to determine how nurses feel about certain situations in which they are involved with patients. All statements concern nursing care given to the dying person and/or his/her family. Where there is a reference to a dying patient, assume it refers to a person who is considered to be terminally ill, with six months or fewer to live.
