Poimanje smrti među studentskom populacijom Univerziteta u Tuzli
Understanding of Death Among the Student Population of University of Tuzla

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with data on the perception of death among the student population of the University in Tuzla. The data were obtained by empirical research, based on a survey of a given population conducted during May 2010. The research was undertaken on 514 students who answered the question related to the outcome of death, and offered them three responses that were subsequently analyzed statistically. Based on the data obtained it was observed that most participants immediately wanted to know the truth, however a few respondents chose one of the other two possible answers, where fear and false hope are undoubtedly playing a significant role in this type of response, with a desire to avoid aporias. The importance of the work lies in the fact that it will show the awareness of the student population about the importance of correct information being provided by a physician in the event of a death. The majority of students who undertook the survey belong to the Islamic religious tradition, however other religious traditions such as Roman Catholic and Orthodox, as well as atheists and agnostics were also involved in discussions about the religious views on this issue, and about the relationship between religions regarding a given problem.
