Abstract

Purpose: Dignity therapy is a very effective intervention to improve the dignity of end-stage patients. A concept analysis by Walker and Avant (2005) was adopted to define, describe, and delimitate the concept of dignity therapy. Methods: Nursing literature in the National Digital Science Links (NDSL) and Medline database were searched for the definitions of "dignity" and "dignity therapy". Definitions, uses, and defining attributes of dignity therapy were identified; model and contrary cases were developed; and antecedents, consequences, and empirical references were determined. Results: Through dignity therapy patients and their families share their stories, and that in turn improves the quality of life and death. Five attributes were identified: higher quality of life and death, therapeutic conversation, respect of human dignity and worth, expressing thoughts about life and death and systematic process. Conclusion: Patients at the end of their lives feel more comfortable about death. Hospice care providers should try to protect dignity of patients in their care. The attributes of the dignity therapy clarified in this study should be applied for terminally ill patients to improve their quality of life and death.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 말기 환자에게 이루어지는 존엄요법의 의미와 속성을 파악함으로써 말기 환자 간호의 질적인 향상에 기여할 수 있도록 하기 위함이다. 방법: 개념의 모든 사용을 확인하기 위하여 2014년 8월에서 2014년 12월까지 한국교육학술정보원(http://www.riss.net), 학술연구정보서비스(http://kiss.kstudy.com), 디비피아(http://www.dbpia.co.kr)에서 '존엄', '존엄요법'을 검색어로 국내문헌을 검색하였고, 국외 문헌의 경우 PubMed와 National Digital Science Links (NDSL)에서 'dignity', 'dignity therapy'를 검색어로 문헌을 검색하였다. 총 51개의 문헌을 Walker와 Avant(2005)의 개념분석 방법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 존엄요법의 선행요인은 말기 환자, 다양한 고통과 괴로움, 존엄한 죽음에 대한 바램이었다. 속성으로는 삶과 죽음의 질 향상, 치료적 대화, 인간의 존엄과 가치존중, 삶과 죽음에 대한 생각 표현, 체계적 과정으로 나타났고, 결과는 자신의 삶에 대한 반추 기회, 고통과 괴로움 감소, 가치와 존엄감 상승, 자신의 삶에 대한 가족과의 공유, 삶과 죽음의 질 향상, 환자와 가족에게 편안함 제공으로 나타났다. 결론: 존엄요법은 삶의 마지막을 경험하는 환자들이 좀 더 편안함을 느낄 수 있게 해 준다. 따라서 호스피스환자 간호 시 그들의 삶과 죽음의 질을 향상시키기 위해 존엄요법의 속성을 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
