“…On a similar note, Gibson et al (2020) found a direct correlation between nursing students’ resilience and moral courage [ 35 ]. Cerit et al (2021) reported a significant negative correlation between nurses’ death anxiety and ethical sensitivity: elevated ethical sensitivity correlated with reduced death anxiety in the nurses [ 36 ].…”

Background Being on the frontline of the battle against COVID-19, nurses and nursing students have been under considerable psychological stress and pressure. The present study is done to explore death anxiety, moral courage, and resilience in nursing students caring for COVID-19 patients in the south of Iran. Methods The present study is cross-sectional research conducted between September and December 2021. A total of 420 senior nursing students (nursing interns) who were undergoing their clinical training courses were invited to participate in the study by convenience sampling method from three hospitals affiliated with the University of Medical Sciences of Southern Iran. Data were collected using a demographics survey, Nurses’ Moral Courage Questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Templer’s Death Anxiety Scale. Results The nursing students participating in this study had a death anxiety mean score of 12.78 ± 1.17. The results showed that there was a significant and indirect correlation between death anxiety on the one hand and moral courage (r = -0.91, p < 0.001) and resilience (r = -0.89, p < 0.001) on the other in nursing students caring for patients with COVID-19. Also, it was found that there was a significant and direct correlation between the students’ resilience and moral courage scores (r = 0.91, p < 0.001). Conclusion The nursing students caring for COVID-19 patients had experienced high levels of death anxiety in the past few months. Considering the persistence of the COVID-19 crisis in Iran and other countries, there is an urgent need for measures to preserve and improve the physical, mental, and spiritual health of nursing students, enhance their moral courage and resilience and reduce their death anxiety.

“…Zheng et al ( 2015 ) found nurses to agree that they should support patients spiritually in end-of-life care. In addition to the aforementioned findings, it is also stated in the literature that nurses avoided establishing an emotional relationship with the dying patient, and they had difficulty in communicating with the patient (Cerit et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Barrere and Durkin (2014) argued that nurses' sensitivity toward the patient continued in end-of-life care, and nurses tried to provide good-quality care. Considering that one of the most important responsibilities in the profession of nursing is providing care in light of ethical principles, nursing students' sensitivity toward end-of-life care is a phenomenon that is important in terms of the quality of the care they will provide (Cerit et al, 2021;Gómez-Vírseda et al, 2020;Hsu et al, 2021;Leget & Kohlen, 2020;Özgönül et al, 2020;Svenaeus, 2020).…”

“…This is because death is not only a part of life but also a phenomenon that is influenced by beliefs about culture, age and religion (Bryan, 2007 ; Cerit, 2019 ; Parry, 2011 ). In Muslim-majority countries like Turkey, death is considered to involve the spirit of the human being getting separated from the body and rising toward the presence of God (Cerit et al, 2021 ). It is believed that this point of view was effective on the finding that some students in this study perceived death as a new beginning.…”

“…The phenomenon of death as the inevitable end of a living being has always occupied a place in the human mind (Özarslan, 2017). As well as being an inevitable and natural phenomenon, death is a societal and cultural phenomenon just as all other biological characteristics of the human being (Bakan & Arli, 2018;Cerit et al, 2021;Jang et al, 2019;Shaw & Abbott, 2017;Şahin et al, 2016). Death, which used to be perceived as a natural and integral part of life in the premodern period, is today viewed as an abnormal situation.…”
