Abstract The study reports on a questionnaire study of final-year medical students' self-reported attitudes to dealing with dying patients. All respondents had some direct clinical experience with dying patients, and reported that such encounters were largely unproblematic. Alleviating patient anxiety and counseling relatives were seen as important aspects of the doctor's role, along with diagnosis, and management of symptoms. “High fear” respondents were more likely to report difficulty in discussing the prognosis with the dying and to experience minor psychological problems.
