Abstract

Abstract The purpose of the study was to evaluate death attitude change among university students involved in a death education instructional unit within an introductory health education course. A quasi-experimental research design was employed. Pre-and post-tests of death attitudes, utilizing the Hardt Death Attitude Scale and the Watts-Andrews Death Attitude Questionnaire, were conducted in both the death education group (N = 39) and the control group (N = 40). A one-way analysis of covariance using pretest mean scores as the covariate showed significant posttest mean differences between the groups on both death attitude measures. Thus it was concluded that death-related attitudes can be favorably influenced as a result of a death education instructional unit within an introductory health education course.
