Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the death perceptions and attitudes of the severely diseased persons in hospice facilities based on their general characteristics. The surveys were conducted from March 10 to July 31, 2013 on 149 patients at hospice facilities in ${\bigcirc}$ city, Gyeonggi-do. The data was analyzed by the SPSS WIN 18.0. First, positive death attitudes showed significant differences according to the patients' general characteristics (F=6.218, p<.001). Second, the patients' death attitudes by their death perceptions showed meaningful results (F=6.634, p<.001). Third, the death attitudes revealed a positive relation with hospice use (r=.496, p<.001). Overall, patients, who have positive death perceptions and attitudes, have high expectations for hospice use and these results support for welfare policies to encourage hospice use of severely diseased persons.

본 연구 목적은 호스피스 요양병원에 입원한 중증질환자의 일반적 특성에 따른 죽음의 인식 및 태도의 상관관계를 파악하고자 한다. 연구 대상은 경기도 ${\bigcirc}$시에 소재하는 호스피스 요양병원 및 요양원에 입원한 중증질환자 149명을 대상으로 2013년 3월 10일부터 7월 31일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 분석방법은 SPSS WIN 18.0프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석, t-test, 일원변량분석, 상관분석, 다중회귀분석을 실시하여 유의수준 5%에서 검증하였다. 분석결과는 첫째, 중증질환자의 죽음에 대한 긍정적인 태도는 환자의 일반적 특성에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다(F=6.218, p<.001). 둘째, 중증질환자의 죽음에 대한 인식에 따른 죽음의 태도는 유의한 차이가 나타났다(F=6.634, p<.001). 셋째, 중증질환자의 죽음에 대한 태도는 호스피스 이용과 정의 관계를 보였다(r=.496, p<.001). 결론적으로 죽음에 대한 긍정적인 인식과 태도를 가진 중증질환자가 호스피스 이용에 대한 기대감이 높았으며, 이는 추후 중증질환자의 호스피스이용 확대 등 복지정책을 위한 기초자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.
