Abstract

Purpose: With the implementation of the Act on Life Sustaining Treatment, hospice-palliative care will be extended to non-cancer diseases including the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, there are concerns about negative perceptions and prejudice toward AIDS patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors related with willingness to volunteer (WV) for patients with end-stage AIDS among hospice volunteers. Methods: Participants were 326 hospice volunteers from 19 institutions. A self-administered questionnaire was employed to investigate the participants' WV for end-stage AIDS patients, and the questions were answered using an 11-point rating scale. Demographics, volunteer activity, satisfaction with hospice volunteering, knowledge of AIDS, and attitudes towards AIDS patients (i.e., fear AIDS patients, negative attitude towards AIDS patients, personal stigmatization and stigmatizing attitude) were also investigated. A multiple regression analysis was performed to examine factors associated with WV for patients with end-stage AIDS. Results: WV for patients with end-stage AIDS was 2.82 points lower than that for cancer patients (P<0.001). The multiple regression analysis showed that the higher the level of satisfaction with hospice volunteering (P=0.002) and the lower the level of "personal stigmatization" (P<0.001), participants showed greater WV for end-stage AIDS patients. Conclusion: The level of satisfaction with hospice volunteering and "personal stigmatization" were factors associated with participants' WV for patients with end-stage AIDS.

목적: '연명의료결정법'의 시행으로 호스피스 완화의료의 대상이 암뿐 아니라 후천성면역결핍증(acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS)을 포함한 비암성 질환에까지 확대된다. 하지만, AIDS에 대해서는 부정적인 인식과 낙인, 편견이 많아 호스피스 완화의료 확대에 대한 우려가 많다. 이에 본 연구에서는 말기 AIDS 환자들에 대한 자원봉사 제공의향 정도에 영향을 주는 요인들을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 우리나라의 19개 기관의 326명의 호스피스 자원봉사자들을 대상으로 자가 기입식 설문지를 이용해 조사하였다. 말기 AIDS 환자들에 대한 자원봉사 제공의향 정도는 11단계 숫자등급을 통해 파악하였다. 인구사회학적 변수들, 자원봉사와 관련된 변수들, 자원봉사에 대한 만족도, AIDS에 대한 지식 수준, AIDS에 대한 태도('AIDS 환자에 대한 두려움', 'AIDS 환자에 대한 부정적인 태도', '개인적인 낙인', '낙인적 태도')를 조사하였다. 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 말기 AIDS 환자들에 대한 자원봉사 제공의향 정도에 영향을 주는 요인들을 알아보았다. 결과: 말기 AIDS 환자들에 대한 자원봉사 제공의향 정도 점수는 암환자에 대해서보다 평균 2.82점 낮았고 이는 통계적으로 유의하였다(P<0.001). 다중회귀분석 결과 자원봉사에 대한 만족도가 높을수록(P=0.002) '개인적인 낙인' 점수가 낮을수록(P<0.001) 말기 AIDS 환자들에 대한 자원봉사 제공의향 정도는 높아졌다. 결론: 본 연구의 결과 호스피스 자원봉사자들의 말기 AIDS 환자들에 대한 자원봉사 제공의향 정도와 관련이 있는 요인은 자원봉사에 대한 만족도와 AIDS에 대한 태도 중 '개인적인 낙인'이었다.
