The so-called death education is about how to recognize and treat death. It enhances people's understanding of death from psychology, ethics, sociology, medicine, economics, nursing, law and other different aspects, treats life well, and can seek good psychological support when facing the death of themselves or others. Death education not only discusses the problem of death itself, but also includes people's feelings and emotions about the world they live in.

2, the role of death education:

It is helpful for nurses to understand the physiological and psychological changes of patients when they die. There are no more than three kinds of death: accidental death, natural death and disease death. As a nurse, the focus is on 90%-95% of the total number of three deaths. Generally speaking, people who die of diseases will suffer from different degrees of physical pain and mental torture, so nurses need to use various scientific methods to alleviate the pain and give appropriate psychological support.

It helps to form a new outlook on life. The traditional outlook on life tells us that life is the most sacred, luckiest and precious, and it can't end easily. Its mapping in medical activities is that the patient's life is sacred, and it is necessary to save the patient's life at all costs in order to maintain and prolong the patient's life process. This is not true humanitarianism. The new outlook on life emphasizes not only the sanctity of life, but also the quality and value of life. Death education is a science to improve the quality of life and make people realize the value of time. When planning the blueprint of your life, you should make reasonable arrangements in a planned way.
