abstract="This qualitative study explored the perception of good and bad death among 15 social workers serving in elderly care facilities in Korea. A good death involved dying peacefully without much suffering, dying with family members present, death following a good life, and believing in a better afterlife. A bad death involved burdening children in the dying process, dying after extensive illness, dying isolated from family, and death from suicide. To ensure a good death and avoid a bad death for elders, social workers are encouraged to closely engage with not only elders but also their families.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
