Abstract
Objective:To investigate the anxiety levels of the nursing students who are caring for the patients in the terminal period and to determine whether there is a difference between 3rd, 4th grade in this direction.Methods:A 40-item “State and Trait Anxiety Scale” was used together with the questionnaire on “Determining the Level of Anxiety Levels of Nursing Students Caring for the Patient at the Terminal Period” for determining the data.Results:The mean scores and standard deviations of all students from the state and trait anxiety scales were respectively 41.95±5.06, 48.15±5.44. Averages of 3rd state anxiety scale score was 42.03 ± 5.26, trait anxiety scale averages were 48.08 ± 5.59; Averages of 4th state anxiety scale score was 41.85 ± 4.83, trait anxiety scale averages were 48.24 ± 5.30.Conclusion:In our study, it was found that there wasn't significant difference between the 3rd, 4th grade students related to ill patient care in terms of high level of state and trait anxiety during communication and patient care. The state and trait anxiety scores of the students in both grades were found to be higher than the average scores of the scale's previous applications.

Summary
We all know death is inevitable but how and when it will be experienced is not known.[1]. Palliative care is defined as an approach that improves life quality by early detection of pain, psycho-social and spiritual problems, and the avoidance of suffering in situations that threaten the life of the patient and the family.[6,7] Patients at the terminal stage are separated from classic intensive care and hospital services and transferred to special care centers in many countries This practice has been combined with home care implementation and forms the concept of “hospice”.8. Stress is inevitable in students who perceive their own potential inadequacy and have difficulty in controlling their emotions when communicating with patients.[17] Anxiety needs to be treated when it prevents the individual from enjoying life In this regard, one should primarily focus on preventive measures.[18] Nurses should acquire general knowledge and skills regarding the care of the patients at the terminal stage during their training, before encountering such patients.[19]. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anxiety levels of nursing students who provide care to patients at the terminal stage and to determine whether there was a difference between the nurses at various years of training
