초록

목적: 본 연구는 "병원 실습 중 간호대학생의 환자의 죽음에 대한 첫 경험은 어떠한가?"라는 질문을 통해 실습 중 간호대학생이 직면하는 환자의 죽음에 대한 경험을 포괄적이고 심층적으로 파악하고자 실시되었다. 방법: 본 연구는 2012년 1월 27일로부터 시작하여 2012년 3월 6일까지 양산시 부산대학교 간호학과 4학년에 재학 중인 여학생으로, 병원실습 중 환자의 죽음을 처음 경험한 실습생들 8명에게 실시되었다. 연구방법은 Colaizzi의 현상학적 연구 방법이 이용되었다. 결과: 17개의 주제, 15개의 주제묶음과 8개의 범주가 도출되었다. 8개의 범주는 '피하고 싶은 죽음현실', '무력감', '건강회복의 기대감에서 공포로', '죽음의 다양한 해석', '간호학의 한계', '간호사 부족에 대한 원망', '갈증의 증폭', '성장의 계기'이다. 결론: 간호대학생들은 환자의 죽음에 대한 첫 경험 과정에서 다양한 감정을 경험하고, 임종간호를 감당하고 있는 간호사의 모습을 미래의 간호사라는 자신의 입장에서 해석해가고 있었다. 이와 동시에 그들은 죽음을 간호의 영역으로 받아들이고, 공부하고 익혀나가는 성장의 노력을 하고 있었다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과를 통해 죽음관련 내용이 간호대학 교육과정에 꼭 포함되어야 함을 알 수 있었고, 이는 신규간호사 시기에 큰 부담이 되고 있는 임종간호의 스트레스를 줄여서 업무 적응을 높이고, 이직 의도를 낮추는데 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것이다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to comprehensively investigate nursing students' experience of their first encounter with death of a patient during clinical practice. Methods: This study took place from January 27 through March 6, 2012 with eight female senior nursing students enrolled at Pusan National University located in Y city who have experienced patient death. We collected their experience of their first death encounter during their clinical rotation by asking, "What is your first experience of patient's death during the clinical practice?" Husserl's phenomenological approach was applied in this study. Results: In this study, 17 themes, 15 clusters of themes and eight categories were derived. The categories included "Desire to avoid the reality of death", "Powerlessness", "Anticipation for recovery shifted to fear of death", "Various interpretations of death", "Limitations in their nursing practice", "Resentment of lack of nurses", "Longing to better understand death", and "Motivation for inner growth". Conclusion: Through their first encounter with death of a patient, nursing students experienced various emotions and viewed their role as hospice caregiver by projecting themselves as fully trained nurses in future. Participants considered terminal care as a part of nursing care. The result of this study indicates the need to include education of death in the nursing school curriculum.
