The challenge was toinnovate and integrate grief-related theory and experiences into the classroom. Method:Quasi-experimental study. Before and after the games-based intervention, 101 and 111students completed the questionnaires, respectively. The intervention was performed inthe context of a palliative care class taught during the first semester of the third year ofthe nursing programme. Results: The students obtained moderate mean scores on thevariable fear of death (between 14 and 19) at both time points (pre- and post-intervention).Both men and women indicated a heightened sense of fear post-intervention and adecrease in self-perceived emotional preparedness, which support the value of the gamesfor exposing the student to situations that closely approximated reality. Conclusion: Theuse of games as a didactic tool in the classroom context helped the students recognizethe fear generated by proximity to death in the patient and family and in the studenthim- or herself.
