Abstract

This study was attempted to know the awareness of Advance Directives of adults in Gandwon-do province. Data was surveyed from 60 adults in Gangwon-do province by 42 item questionnaire for the awareness of Advance Directives. Subcategories of Advanced Directives questionnaire were knowledge, preference, experience for life-sustaining treatment and Advance Directives. The data was analyzed with the frequency and percentage using SPSS 24.0. 45% of Participants replied they knew the 'life-sustaining treatment' exactly. They preferred CPR 78.3%, mechanical ventilation 63.3% and blood transfusion 51.7% for their future special life-sustaining treatments. They did not preferred hemodialysis 8.3%, artificial respiration 6.7%, intensive care unit 6.7%, 8.3 percent of participants said that they well aware of Advance Directives. 86.6% of them hoped to write their Advance Directives. Despite such low awareness of the Advance Directives, the intention to write Advance Directives was high. Based on these results, it was found that the level of awareness of Advance Directives was very important for the intention to prepare Advance Directives. Therefore, regional programs and education on Advance Directives and periodic survey study for awareness of Advance Directives should be continued.

본 연구는 강원도에 거주하는 성인의 사전연명의료의향서에 대한 인식을 알고자 시도되었다. 연구 자료는 강원도에 거주하는 성인 60명을 대상으로 42문항의 구성된 사전연명의료의향서 설문지를 이용하여 수집되었다. 연구 자료는 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도와 백분율을 분석하였다. 사전연명의료의향서 인식의 설문지는 연명치료와 사전의료의향서의 지식, 경험, 선호도로 구성되었다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같았다. 연구 참여자의 45%가 연명치료에 대해 정확이 알고 있다고 응답하였다. 연구 참여자가 선호하는 특수연명치료는 심폐소생술 78.3%, 기계 환기 63.3%, 수혈 51.7% 이었다. 연구 참여자가 피하고 싶어 하는 특수 연명치료는 신장투석 8.3%, 인공호흡 6.7%, 중환자실 입원 6.7%로 나타났다. 사전연명의료의향서에 대해서는 8.3%만 인지하고 있었으며, 그럼에도 불구하고 응답자의 86.6%가 사전연명의료의향서 작성에 호의적이었다. 본 연구 참여자의 사전연명의료의향서에 대한 인식은 매우 낮았음에도 불구하고 이를 준비하겠다는 의도는 높았다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 기반으로 사전연명의료의향서에 대한 인식 수준이 사전의료의향서 작성의도에 매우 중요함을 알 수 있다. 따라서 사전연명의료의향서에 대한 지역 프로그램과 교육과 주기적인 사전연명의료의향서에 대한 인식 연구가 계속되어야 한다.
