Background The care of patient individuals in the good death process should be planned based on nursing values. The aim of the study is to determine nurses' perceptions of a good death and its relationship with nursing values. Methods The study is descriptive and cross-sectional and was completed with 210 nurses. Data were collected using the Nurse Information Form, Good Death Scale, and Revised Nursing Professional Values Scale. In the study, an attempt was made to reach nurses across T & uuml;rkiye over a three-month period using the snowball sampling method without calculating the sample size beforehand. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U test, LSD test, Spearman correlation and linear regression analyzes were used in the study. Results The nurses' Good Death Scale total mean score was 53.52 +/- 7.11, and The Revised Nursing Professional Values Scale mean score was 97.77 +/- 15.71. There was a moderate, positive, statistically significant relationship between the nurses' Good Death Scale total mean scores and the Revised Nursing Professional Values Scale total mean scores (r = 0.522; p < 0.001). Conclusions Value-based educational activities may be effective in helping nurses have positive perceptions about a good death.
