Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between ethical dilemma, end-of-life care stress and burnout of the nurses in long term care hospitals and descriptive correlations to identify factors affecting burnout. The subjects of study were 143 nurses who are working in the seven long-term-care hospitals in G-do and had more than one experience of end-of-life nursing care, understood the research items and agreed to participate in the research. In this study, it was founded that end-of-life care stress, age, job position, and end-of-life care education were found to be influential factors affecting burnout of the nurses in long-term care hospitals. As a result, age and occupation, end - of - life nursing education, and end - of - life stress were found to be factors affecting nurses' burnout. Therefore, in order to prevent and alleviate burnout of long-term care hospital nurses, a systematic intervention program that manages stress related to end-of-life nursing care is needed.

본 연구의 목적은 요양병원 간호사를 대상으로 윤리적 딜레마, 임종간호스트레스 및 소진의 관계와 윤리적 딜레마와 임종간호스트레스가 소진에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 함이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 경상남도에 위치한 7개 노인요양병원에 근무하고 임종간호 경험이 한 번 이상 있으며 연구의 목적을 이해하고 연구 참여에 동의한 간호사 143명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 설문조사하였다. 본 연구결과 연령과 직위, 임종간호교육, 임종간호스트레스가 요양병원 간호사의 소진에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 확인되었다. 따라서 요양병원간호사의 소진을 예방하고 완화시키기 위해 임종간호 관련 교육과 함께 스트레스를 관리하는 체계적인 중재프로그램이 필요할 것이다.
