Research: Rural Death Literacy Survey

Shamira McKenna, a Researcher in the School of Psychology at Queen’s University Belfast, wants to recruit 632 people from across the island of Ireland (316 in each region) to participate in an online survey exploring death literacy.

Her research focuses on developing a public health approach to improving end-of-life care in rural and remote communities.

Participants need to be 18 years or older and live in a rural or remote area on the island of Ireland.

Shamira presented her PhD research at September’s All Island Institute of Palliative Care Practice Conference which was organised by the All Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care.
