Results: In Turkey, it has been determined that there are 148 nursing departments and 111 medical faculties. It has been found that 86.5 of the university websites provide access to course content. In both nursing and medical programs, the topic of death is addressed in different periods and courses, and it is observed that courses covering the concept of death are offered as either mandatory or elective. The curricula predominantly focus on technical knowledge. Conclusion: Death is considered a phenomenon in the curricula. It is seen that it is defined as a biological and physiological process. In terms of the concept of death, the medical and nursing curriculum is insufficient. It is thought that the medical and nursing curriculum is insufficient in terms of the concept of death.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada Türkiyedeki üniversitelerinin tıp ve hemşirelik bölümlerinin lisans müfredatlarında yer alan derslerin içeriğinde ölüm kavramına ne kadar ve nasıl yer verildiğinin belirlenmesi, mevcut durumun ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmada nitel araştırma türlerinden doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın evrenini Türkiyede tıp ve hemşirelik lisans eğitimi veren yükseköğretim kurumları oluşturmaktadır. Tıp ve hemşirelik eğitimi veren okullara Yükseköğretim Lisans Atlası Sisteminden ulaşılmıştır. Ulaşılan verilerin Amaç: Bu çalışmada Türkiyedeki üniversitelerinin tıp ve hemşirelik bölümlerinin lisans müfredatlarında yer alan derslerin içeriğinde ölüm kavramına ne kadar ve nasıl yer verildiğinin belirlenmesi, mevcut durumun ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmada nitel araştırma türlerinden doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın evrenini Türkiyede tıp ve hemşirelik lisans eğitimi veren yükseköğretim kurumları oluşturmaktadır. Tıp ve hemşirelik eğitimi veren okulların bilgilerine Şubat  Mart 2022 tarihleri arası Yükseköğretim Lisans Atlası Sisteminden ulaşılmıştır. Bulgular: Türkiyede, 148 hemşirelik bölümü ve 111 tıp fakültesi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Üniversitelerin web siteleri incelendiğinde, 86,5inin ders içeriklerine erişilebildiği görülmüştür. Hemşirelik ve tıp bölümlerinde ölüm konusu farklı dönemlerde ve farklı derslerde ele alınmaktadır. Ayrıca, ölüm kavramına yer verilen derslerin bazılarının zorunlu, bazılarının ise seçmeli olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Müfredatlarda, teknik bilgilere daha yoğun bir şekilde yer verildiği belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Müfredatlar incelendiğinde genellikle ölüm kavramının olgu olarak değerlendirildiği, biyolojik ve fizyolojik bir süreç olarak tanımlandığı görülmektedir. Ölüm kavramına ilişkin tıp ve hemşirelik müfredatının yetersiz olduğu değerlendirilmektedir. Buradan hareketle ölüm kavramının her boyutuyla müfredatlarda yer alması önerilmektedir. Ölüm gibi çok boyutlu kavramlarda farklı eğitim tekniklerinin kullanılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
