Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree of spiritual well-being, spiritual nursing competency, and attitude toward death of nursing students at Christian universities and to find out the relevance and influence between variables. The subjects of the study were conveniently sampled 185 nursing college students located in C City, and data analysis was conducted using the SPSS 22.0 program to conduct t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's Correction Coefficient. As a result, religious well-being was significantly higher in students with very satisfied major satisfaction, and spiritual nursing competence was higher in girls with high grades, and students with high major satisfaction. Attitudes toward death were high in male students, showing significant results, and spiritual well-being showed a significant positive correlation between spiritual nursing competence and attitude toward death. Therefore, an institutional approach is needed to strengthen spiritual well-being and develop a curriculum so that it can help provide spiritual health to nursing subjects.

본 연구는 기독교대학 간호대학생의 영적안녕감, 영적간호역량, 죽음에 대한 태도 정도를 알아보고 변인 간의 융합적 관련성 및 영향력을 알아보는 데 목적이 있다. 연구 대상은 C 시에 소재한 간호대학생 185명을 편의표집하였으며, 자료 분석은 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 활용하여 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient를 실시하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 종교적 안녕감은 전공만족도가 매우 만족하는 학생의 경우, 성적이 상 수준의 학생에서 유의하게 높게 나타났고, 영적간호역량은 여학생, 전공만족도가 매우 만족하는 경우, 성적이 상 수준의 학생에서 높게 나타났다. 죽음에 대한 태도는 남학생에서 높게 나타나 유의한 결과를 보였으며, 영적안녕감은 영적간호역량, 죽음에 대한 태도에 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서, 간호대상자에게 영적인 건강을 제공하는 데 도움이 될 수 있도록 영적안녕감 강화 중재 방안 및 교육과정 개발을 위한 제도적 접근이 필요하다.
