초록

목적: 본 연구는 노인환자 심폐소생술금지 결정에 대한 간호사의 윤리적 태도와 정서상태를 파악하여 생의 말기에 있는 노인환자가 인간으로서의 존엄성을 유지하도록 돕고, 심폐소생술금지 상황에 효과적으로 대처할 수 있는 간호사의 윤리적 태도와 정서상태의 지지체계를 구축하기 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다. 방법: 본 연구는 2011년 8월 1일부터 9월 15일까지 M시에 소재하고 있는 3개의 노인요양병원과 3개의 종합병원에 근무하고 있는 간호사 153명을 대상으로 실시하였으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN Program을 사용하여 실수와 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, Pearson's Correlation Coefficients로 분석하였다. 결과: 심폐소생술금지 결정에 대한 간호사의 윤리적 태도 평균은 2.68/4점이었으며, 가장 높은 점수를 받은 항목은 '심폐소생술금지 환자의 치료범위는 심폐소생술은 시행하지 않지만 다른 치료는 전과 마찬가지로 최선을 다하여 행하는 것이 옳다($3.23{\pm}0.57$)'이며 가장 낮은 점수를 받은 항목은 '심폐소생술금지가 선언된 후 의사들이 환자에게 관심이 줄어드는 것은 당연하다($2.12{\pm}0.63$)'였다. 심폐소생술금지 결정에 대한 간호사의 정서상태 평균은 2.36/4점이었으며, 가장 높은 점수를 받은 항목은 '이해하고 공감한다($2.91{\pm}0.52$)'이며 가장 낮은 점수를 받은 항목은 '불쾌하게 느낀다($2.03{\pm}0.60$)'였다. 심폐소생술금지 결정에 대한 간호사의 윤리적 태도와 정서상태에 대한 상관관계를 분석한 결과 두 변수간의 유의한 상관관계는 나타나지 않았다(r=-0.12, P=0.13). 결론: 노인환자의 심폐소생술금지 결정에 대해 간호사의 윤리적 태도는 비교적 높고 정서상태는 약간 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 요인들은 대상자 특성, 지역사회 및 환경, 문화적 특성 등에 많은 영향을 받을 수 있으므로 앞으로 각각의 변수별로 세분화된 후속연구 및 반복연구를 제언한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine nurses' emotional responses and ethical attitudes towards elderly patients' Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) decision. Methods: Data were collected using a questionnaire which was filled out by 153 nurses who worked in nursing homes and general hospitals. Data were analyzed using real numbers, percentages, means, standard deviations and Pearson's correlation coefficients with SPSS 19.0 program. Results: The average score for ethical attitudes towards the DNR decision was 2.68 out of 4. Under the ethical attitudes category, the highest score was found with a statement that said 'Although they will not perform cardiopulmonary resuscitate (CPR), it is right to do their best with other treatments for DNR Patients'. Items regarding emotional responses to the DNR decision, the average score was 2.36 out of 4. Among them, the highest score was achieved on 'I understand and sympathize'. No significant correlation was found between ethical attitudes and emotional responses in relation to patients' DNR decision (r=-0.12, P=0.13). Conclusion: Regarding elderly patients' DNR decision, nurses showed somewhat highly ethical attitudes and slightly positive emotional response. A follow-up study is needed to investigate variables that affect our results.
