Description:: This study examines the attitudes and values of hospice social workers and oncology social workers toward the utilization of anticipatory grief and bereavement among terminally ill patients. The study sample included oncology social workers and hospice social workers. The results indicated that there was no statistical difference so that the null hypothesis was accepted. The cross tabulations demonstrated that oncology and hospice social workers have similar attitudes and values toward assisting the terminally ill. Social workers in these two areas agree 100 percent in the use of bereavement and with a slight variation in the 90 percent range regarding attitudes, values and anticipatory grief. The data was analyzed utilizing frequencies and percentages. A scale was also used to measure attitudes, values, anticipatory grief and bereavement among hospice and oncology social workers. The research found very little differences among hospice and oncology social workers toward assisting terminally ill patients. The conclusion drawn from the findings suggested that hospice and oncology social workers are very similar in their utilization of anticipatory grief and bereavement.
