Undergraduate nursing student perceptions of the unexpected death of a classmate: A qualitative study.
Experiencing the unexpected death of a classmate is distressing and overwhelming for college-aged students, particularly those in a nursing major who spend a tremendous amount of time together within the classroom and high-stress clinical settings. Previous studies have identified ways to help nursing students understand their grief reactions in response to patient-critical illness or death. However, data related to how the sudden death of a classmate impacts traditional nursing students has been minimally studied. This exploratory qualitative study examined nursing student grief reactions, as well as the university's response to the death of a student in a rural Southeastern institution. Results yielded five themes, including (1) a greater appreciation of life, (2) the realization of the fragility of life, (3) fear of the unknown, (4) strong sense of community and (5) meeting immediate and long-term student grief needs. Recommendations for nurse educators and university administration are discussed.
