Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect on knowledge, attitude and volition of DNR after implementing the educational program of withdrawing life sustaining treatment to elderly people. The subjects for this study were healthy elders over 65 year-old at J elderly center located at S city, Korea. Data were gathered from October 2 to November 9, 2012. Participants were randomly assigned to either experimental or control group. For the experimental group, a 50 minute educational program on withdrawing life-sustaining treatment program was delivered twice a week for 3 weeks, and the control group did not receive any education. DNR knowledge (F=4.158;p=.049), DNR attitude (F=39.60; p=.001) were higher in experimental group compare to control group. Changes in number of participants who were determined to choose DNR for themselves (p=.006), for spouse (p=.039) and for parents (p=.006) were significantly higher in experimental group compared to control group. The program was effective in changing participant's knowledge, attitude and volition toward DNR and this program can be utilized to guide the decision making process of DNR for elderly.
