Abstract

This study examined the correlation between nursing home nurses' perceptions of a good death, their spirituality and resilience, and their attitudes toward end-of-life care. This descriptive survey study was conducted between August 25 and September 20, 2022, with nurses who had worked in nursing hospitals in Gyeonggi and Chungcheong provinces for over six months. Data were analyzed using SPSS Windows software version 26.0, employing mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe's post hoc validation, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise regression analysis. Participants' perception of a good death averaged 3.12±0.72 out of 4, spirituality averaged 3.36±0.85 out of 5, resilience averaged 3.57±0.82 out of 5, and end-of-life care attitude averaged 3.61±0.28 out of 4. Perception of a good death was positively correlated with spirituality, resilience, and end-of-life care attitudes. Spirituality was positively correlated with resilience, resilience was significantly positively correlated with end-of-life care attitudes. A study on various factors affecting end-of-life care attitudes should be proposed, and an intervention program should be developed to reinforce these attitudes among nursing hospital nurses positively.

본 연구는 요양병원 간호사의 좋은 죽음 인식, 영성 및 회복탄력성, 임종간호 태도 간의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 조사 연구는 2022년 8월 25일부터 9월 20일까지 경기도와 충청도 지역 요양병원에서 6개월 이상 근무한 간호사를 대상으로 실시되었다. 데이터는 SPSS Windows 소프트웨어 버전 26.0을 사용하여 평균, 표준 편차, 독립 t-검정, 일원 분산 분석, Scheffe의 사후검증, Pearson 상관 계수 및 단계적 회귀분석을 사용하여 분석되었다. 연구 대상자의 좋은 죽음 인식은 4점 만점에 평균 3.12±0.72점, 영성은 5점 만점에 평균 3.36±0.85점, 회복탄력성은 5점 만점에 평균 3.57±0.82점, 임종간호 태도는 4점 만점에 평균 3.61±0.28점으로 나타났다. 좋은 죽음 인식은 영성, 회복탄력성, 임종간호 태도와 정적인 상관관계가 있었다. 영성은 회복탄력성과 회복탄력성은 임종간호 태도와 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었으며, 회복탄력성은 임종간호 태도와 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 임종간호 태도에 영향을 미치는 다양한 영향요인에 대한 추가 연구 및 요양병원 간호사의 긍정적인 임종간호 태도를 강화할 수 있는 중재 프로그램이 개발되어야 할 것이다.
