Abstract

Purpose: We examined the effects of a well-dying program on nursing students in terms of death preparation, death recognition and perception of well-dying perception. Methods: The design of this study was quasi-experimental and non-synchronized with a non-equivalent control group. The study was conducted with nursing students: 32 in the experimental group and 36 in the control group. The well-dying program was consisted of five sessions: introduction, thinking about meaning of death, organizing things to do before dying, looking back on my life, and leaving a trail of my life. Descriptive analysis, t-test, ${\chi}^2$ test and ANCOVA were used with SPSS 18.0 program to analyze the data. Results: After attending the program, a difference was observed in death preparation of the experimental group (t=2.61, P=0.014). The death recognition (F=154.15, P<0.001) score of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group. There was no significant difference between the groups in perception of well-dying (F=0.11, P=0.747). Conclusions: The well-dying program helped nursing students build positive death recognition. Therefore, this study is expected to contribute to development of a death education program for nursing students.

목적: 본 연구는 웰다잉 교육프로그램이 간호대학생의 죽음준비와 죽음 및 웰다잉에 대한 인식에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위하여 실시되었다. 방법: 연구설계는 비동등성 대조군 사전-사후 설계의 유사실험 연구였다. 대상자는 간호대학생으로서 실험군 32명, 대조군 36명이었다. 웰다잉 교육프로그램은 1회에 90~150분씩, 프로그램 소개와 죽음의 의미 탐색, 사망전 정리해야 할 일, 장례준비, 유언장 작성 등 5회에 걸쳐 워크숍으로 진행되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS Win 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 t-test, ${\chi}^2$ test, paired t-test와 ANCOVA로 분석하였다. 결과: 웰다잉 교육프로그램을 적용한 중재 전 후에 실험군의 죽음준비인식이 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였고(t=2.61, P=0.014), 중재 후 실험군의 죽음에 대한 인식은 대조군보다 유의하게 증가하였다(F=154.15, P<0.001). 그러나 웰다잉 인식에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 볼 때 죽음에 대한 체험을 바탕으로 한 워크숍 형태의 웰다잉 교육프로그램은 간호대학생의 웰다잉 인식에는 효과가 없었으나 죽음준비인식과 죽음에 대한 인식을 긍정적으로 변화시키는 것으로 나타나 죽음과 관련된 인식을 높이는 데에 도움이 되는 중재로 활용될 수 있다고 판단된다.
