Abstract

This study was conducted to test whether the education program consisted with knowledge about professional care for elderly and content of elderly simulation experience to improve empathy had positive effects on attitude and intention to practicing nursing care toward elderly. According to the study results, It was appeared that the experimental group provided both knowledge and elderly simulation experience showed more positive attitude toward elderly(t=2.56, p=.026) and intention to practicing nursing care for elderly(t=6.73, p=.003), compared with the group provided knowledge only. However, after experiencing elderly simulation program, the attitude toward elderly(t=1.22, p=.170) and intention to practice nursing care for elderly(t=-0.08, p=.470) in experimental group improved very little or so, whereas the attitude toward elderly(t=-2.33, p=.012) and intention to practice nursing care for elderly(t=-1.08, p=.150) in comparison group became even worse.

본 연구는 유사실험 설계를 적용하여 간호학 전공 대학생들을 대상으로 노인간호에 대한 전문지식과 함께 공감증진 노인유사체험을 포함한 교육프로그램이 전문지식만을 포함한 교육프로그램에 비해 대상자들의 노인에 대한 태도와 노인간호 실천의도에 보다 긍정적인 효과를 보였는가를 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구 결과, 전문지식과 함께 공감증진 노인유사체험을 제공받은 실험군이 전문지식만을 제공받은 대조군에 비해 중재 후 노인에 대한 태도(t=2.56, p=.026)와 노인간호 실천의도(t=6.73, p=.003)에 있어 더욱 긍정적이기는 하였으나, 집단 내의 중재 전-후의 차이는 가설에서 설정된 바와 다른 양상을 보였다. 전문지식과 함께 노인유사체험을 제공받은 실험군의 경우는 중재 전에 비해 중재 후 노인에 대한 태도(t=1.22, p=.170)나 노인간호 실천의도(t=-0.08, p=.470)에 있어 미미한 정도로 개선되었거나 거의 변화가 없었으며 대조군의 경우는 중재 후 노인에 대한 태도(t=-2.33, p=.012)나 노인간호 실천의도(t=-1.08, p=.150)에 있어 오히려 부정적으로 변화된 것으로 나타났다.
