Abstract
Las narraciones sobre lo que evoca pensar en la propia muerte
y describir los pensamientos y sentimientos sobre el morir, pueden ser por
sí mismas una fuente de conocimiento nuevo en el estudio de la ansiedad y
las actitudes ante la muerte. Se llevó a cabo un estudio cualitativo descripti-
vo con el objetivo de explorar las características de los pensamientos, las
emociones y sentimientos sobre la propia muerte de jóvenes, estudiantes de
enfermería. 85 estudiantes respondieron voluntariamente un cuestionario
autoadministrado de preguntas abiertas basadas en la Mortality Salience em-
pleada en la Teoría de la Gestión del Terror. El análisis se realizó mediante
la estrategia de análisis de contenido con el programa Atlas ti. Ante el pen-
samiento sobre la propia muerte respondieron con los sustantivos miedo,
dolor, angustia, tristeza o soledad. El miedo a la propia muerte se concretó
como la imposibilidad de lograr las metas en la vida, dejar a la familia y el
proceso de muerte en sí mismo. Ante las creencias sobre estar físicamente
muerto señalaron atributos de la descomposición del cuerpo, atributos es-
pirituales, creencias, negación y preferencias. La visión cultural, los valores
y creencias de cada persona, se encuentran muy presentes cuando piensan
en su propia muerte
Narratives produced by thinking and reflecting about death and dying may be themselves a source of new knowledge in the study of anxie- ty and attitudes toward death. A qualitative descriptive study aimed to ex- plore the features of thoughts, emotions and feelings about young people's own death, (nursing students) was conducted. 85 students voluntarily an- swered a self-administered questionnaire with open questions based on Mortality Salience, used in the Terror Management Theory. Content analy- sis using Atlas.ti software was performed. When reflecting upon their own death, participants reported substantive emotions such as fear, pain, dis- tress, sadness or loneliness. The fear of their own death was specified as the inability to achieve goals in life, to leave the family and the dying pro- cess itself. When reflecting upon been physically dead, attributes of the de- composition of the body, spiritual attributes, beliefs, denial and preferences were identified. Cultural worldview, values and beliefs of each person were remarkably present when thinking about their own death.
