Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine self-transcendence, life satisfaction, and preference for end-of-life care in elderly patients. Method: This was a descriptive survey study. The study period was between August 2013 and October 2013 and included 208 elderly patients. Results: The average scores for self-transcendence, life satisfaction, and preference for end-of-life care were 2.79, 9.97, and 3.24, respectively. Statistically significant positive correlations were observed between self-transcendence and life satisfaction, decision making by health care professionals, spiritual area, family area. A positive correlation was observed between: (1) life satisfaction and spiritual area, (2) decision making by health care professionals and family area, and (3) decision making by health care professionals and pain area. Self-transcendence was a significant predictor of PCEOL. Conclusion: This study will provide basic information for use in the development of a program to encourage self- transcendence and life satisfaction, as well as to consider the elder's autonomy, pain control, and spirituality as important factors at the end-of-life care.

본 연구는 재가노인의 자기초월, 삶의 만족도, 임종기 치료선호도 정도를 파악하고 노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 시도된 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 65세 이상의 노인 208명을 대상으로하고 자료수집은 2013년 8월부터 10월까지 실시하였다. 연구결과, 연구대상자의 자기초월 정도는 2.79점이며, 삶의 만족도 정도는 9.97점, 임종기 치료선호도 정도는 3.24점으로 나타났다. 자기초월은 교육수준이 높은 집단(F=3.38, p=.011)에서와 건강상태가 좋은 집단 (F=13.88 p<.001)에서, 삶의 만족도는 건강상태가 좋은 집단(F=24.42, p<.001)에서 유의하게 높게 조사되었다. 대상자의 자기초월은 삶의 만족도(r=.559, p<.001), 의료인에 의한 의사결정(r=.182, p=.008), 영성요인( r=..324, p<.001), 가족요인(r=.224, p<.001)과 유의한 순상관관계가 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 삶의 만족도와 영성요인(r=.165, p=.017), 의료인에 의한 의사결정과 가족요인(r=.278, p<.001), 의료인에 의한 의사결정과 통증요인(r=.146, p=.035)이 유의한 순상관관계로 나타났으며, 자기초월이 임종기 치료 선호도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 따라서 자기초월과 삶의 만족을 높일 수 있는 방안을 구축하고 임종기 대상자 관리를 위한 전략이 구체적으로 계획되어야 할 것이다
