Abstract

In today's society interest in beautiful death is rising. This study investigated the perception of death and well-dying-terminal care attitude-of nursing students and determined the factors that influence their attitude on terminal care and beautiful death. Data was collected from 319 baccalaureate nursing students in S-City, Kyunggido, in Korea using a self-reported questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Person's correlation coefficients, and multiple stepwise regression, using WIN SPSS 18.0 program. There were significant differences in terminal care attitude of subjects in accordance with the experience of hospice education (F=2.53, p=.012), experience with the death of close acquaintances (F=3.37, p=.001), and perceived health status (F=5.37 p=.005). There was a positive correlation between perception of death and well-dying (r=.23, p<.001), and the relationship between well-dying and terminal care attitudes was also statistically significant (r=.22, p<.001). Factors that influence the attitude on terminal care were well-dying (${\beta}=.19$) and experience with the death of close acquaintances (${\beta}=.16$). It is necessary to develop an education program for nursing students to promote positive attitudes toward the perception of death and well-dying, as well as toward terminal care.

본 연구는 최근 아름다운 죽음에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있는 시점을 맞추어 간호 대학생의 죽음인식, 웰다잉과 임종간호태도를 파악하고, 임종간호태도에 미치는 영향요인을 규명하고자 시도하였다. 대상자는 S시에 소재한 대학교에 재학 중인 간호 대학생 319명을 대상으로 설문조사하였고, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 t-test와 ANOVA, Person's correlation coefficients, multiple stepwise regression으로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 간호 대학생의 임종간호태도 정도는 호스피스 교육경험(F=2.53, p=.012), 가까운 주변 지인의 죽음경험(F=3.37, p=.001), 주관적 건강상태(F=5.37, p=.005)에 따라서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 죽음인식은 웰다잉과(r=.23, p<.001), 웰다잉은 임종간호태도(r=.22, p<.001)와 유의한 정적 상관관계가 있었으며, 임종간호태도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 웰다잉(${\beta}=.19$), 가까운 주변 지인의 죽음경험(${\beta}=.16$)이었다. 따라서 양질의 임종간호태도를 유지하기 위하여 미래의 간호사인 간호 대학생의 죽음에 대한 긍정적인 사고와 태도가 중요함으로 웰다잉과 죽음인식을 향상시키는 다양한 중재프로그램 개발과 체계적인 교육이 필요하다.
