The Researches of Nurses'Implicit Attitude Toward Death Based on Single Category Implicit Association Test and Affective Misattribution Procedure
Objective:To explore the existence and stability of nurses'implicit attitude toward death and its relation-ship with explicit attitude toward death.Methods:170 nurses were measured by the Single Category Implicit Association Test(SC-IAT)and the Affective Misattribution Procedure(AMP).Results:Nurses had negative implicit attitude toward death under both SC-IAT and AMP measures;There was no significant correlation between nurses'implicit and explicit at-titude towards death measured by SC-IAT(P>0.05),while there was significant correlation between nurses'implicit and ex-plicit attitude towards death measured by AMP(r=0.38,P<0.01).Conclusion:Nurses have negative implicit attitude to-ward death which are stable;The relationship between nurses'implicit and explicit attitude toward death may be related to the measurement paradigm.
