Abstract

The purpose is a qualitative study that explores the essential meaning of death for fourth-year students of nursing college who have completed the practical training in the Department of Nursing. The participants of this study were 15 students who were 4th graders at a university in M city, Jeollabuk-do and had a strong awareness of death. As for data collection, students who read a thesis related to death and completed 1004 hours of hospital practice were asked to write a self-report within 72 hours for questions. The collected data were analyzed using Krippendorff's phenomenological method. As a result of analyzing the experience related to death, it was derived into 30 meaningful statements in 3 categories, 9 topics. The three categories were derived from 'the end and together', 'death, fighting alone,' and 'fear and fear'. It is expected that the results of this study will be used as useful basic data for developing a professional understanding of death in nursing students and coping with the stress of death faced by new nurses.

본 연구는 간호학과에서 준행하는 실습을 이수한 간호대학 4학년에게 죽음에 대한 본질적인 의미를 탐색해 보는 질적 연구이다. 본 연구의 참여자는 전라북도 K시 일개 대학 4학년의 학생으로 죽음 대한 강한 의식을 갖추고 이에 대한 인식을 갖춘 15명의 학생을 대상으로 하였다. 자료 수집은 죽음과 관련된 논문을 읽고, 병원 실습을 1004시간 이수한 학생으로 질문에 대해 80시간 내에 면담과 자기 보고서를 통하여 작성하도록 하였다. 수집된 자료는 Krippendorff의 현상학적 방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 죽음과 관련한 경험을 분석한 결과 3개 범주, 9개 주제 30개 의미 있는 진술로 도출되었다. 3개의 범주는 '끝, 그리고 함께하다', '죽음, 혼자와의싸움,' '무서움과 두려움'으로 도출되었다. 본 연구결과 간호 대학생에게서 죽음에 대한 올바른 이해와 신규간호사들이 맞이하는 죽음에 대한 스트레스를 대처하는 프로개발 유용한 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
