Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the relationships between nursing students' knowledge on dementia, care performance, and empathy, thus providing the foundation of dementia patient nursing intervention strategies for nursing students. For the analysis to examine the relationships, this study used descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The analysis showed that the higher students' year of study and the higher their interest in dementia (F=5.02, p=.008), the higher their knowledge on dementia (t=-4.03, p<.001), and also that the higher their satisfaction with clinical training (F=3.91, p=.023), the higher their care performance. It was found that nursing students' knowledge on dementia and their care performance (r=.21, p=.023) were positively correlated at a statistically significant level. Based on the results, this study suggests the need to develop and utilize education programs that can help students gain knowledge on dementia prior to clinical training so that they can have more knowledge on dementia and be encouraged to practice caring for patients with dementia.

본 연구는 간호대학생을 대상으로 치매에 대한 지식, 돌봄 이행 및 공감을 파악하여 간호대학생의 치매 환자 간호중재 전략의 기초를 마련하고자 시도되었다. 이에 따른 관계를 규명하기 위한 분석은 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient를 이용하였다. 연구결과 간호대학생의 치매에 대한 지식은 학년(t=-4.03, p<.001)이 높을수록, 치매에 대한 관심도(F=5.02, p=.008)가 높을수록 높게 나타났고, 돌봄 이행은 임상실습 만족도(F=3.91, p=.023)가 높을수록 높게 나타났다. 치매에 대한 지식과 돌봄 이행(r=.21, p=.023)은 통계적으로 유의한 정적 상관관계가 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 토대로 간호대학생의 치매에 대한 지식을 높이고 치매 환자에 대한 돌봄 이행을 유발할 수 있도록 임상실습 전에 치매 관련 지식함양을 위한 교육 프로그램을 마련하여 활용할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
