초록

목적: 본 연구는 장기요양 입소시설의 사회복지사를 대상으로 임종의료결정 권리, 사회복지사의 역할 이해도를 분석하고, 이들의 상관관계를 분석하고자 한다. 방법: 본 연구는 설문지를 사용하여 수집된 자료 334부 중 분석에 포함하기 어려운 37부를 제외한 297부를 SPSS 20.0을 이용하여 T-test, 분산분석, 상관관계분석 등을 실시하였다. 결과: 사회복지사가 이해하는 노인환자와 가족의 임종의료결정 권리 이해도는 5점 만점에 $3.46{\pm}0.69$, 사회복지사 역할 이해도는 $3.48{\pm}0.84$이다. 사회복지사의 사전의료의향서 및 연명치료 결정 도움 경험, 임종의료결정 도움 업무, 근무 경력, 침상 수 등에 따라 임종의료 결정 권리 및 사회복지사 역할 이해도에 의미 있는 수준에서 집단 간 차이를 보였다. 임종의료결정 권리와 사회복지사 역할 이해도와의 상관관계는 의미 있는 수준에서 긍정적인 상관관계를 보였다(Pearson r=0.329, P<0.001). 결론: 장기요양 입소시설에서 노인환자와 가족에게 사전의료의향서 및 연명치료 결정 도움을 제공하는 사회복지사 역할의 중요성을 인식하고, 노인환자와 가족의 임종의료결정 권리를 보호하기 위하여 임종의료결정에서의 사회복지사 역할 수행을 위한 교육이나 훈련 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study was aimed to analyze how social workers understand the rights for elderly patient and family caregiver to make end-of-life (EOL) care decisions and their roles the decision making process. Methods: The study employed a quantitative research method of collecting data from a structured questionnaire that was filled out by 334 social workers at long-term care facilities. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, mean differences, correlation between variables, using SPSS 20.0 program. Results: The mean score for the understanding the rights to an EOL care decision was $3.46{\pm}0.69$ and of their own roles $3.48{\pm}0.84$. The level of understanding significantly differed by social workers' experience of assisting a process to make an EOL care decision such as advance directives and life sustaining treatment, work experience, and the number of beds. Positive correlation was observed between the level of understanding of the rights for EOL care decisions and of social workers' roles (Pearson r=0.329, P<0.001). Conclusion: This study proposes development of an education program for social workers and devising standards for the EOL care decision making process to protect elderly patients, family caregivers as well as social workers in a long term care facility.
