Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of death education on the attitude toward DNR, fatigue, and quality of sleep for generic care worker. This study followed a nonequivalent control group and a non-synchronized design. This study was performed in a visiting generic care service institution in J city, Chung-Cheong province, Korea between February 15 to May 30, 2016. The study included 43 participants who agreed to participate in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups: 21 participants in the experimental group and 22 in the control group. Participants in the experimental group received death education 2 hours per day, once a week, for a duration of greater than 8 weeks. The effect of treatment was measured using a structured questionnaire on the attitude toward DNR, fatigue, and quality of sleep before and after 8 weeks of intervention. Data were analyzed using t-, chi-square, Fisher Exact- and paired t-tests. The experimental group showed a significantly increased attitude toward DNR (p=0.001) and quality of sleep (P<0.001), whereas significantly decreased attitude toward fatigue (p=0.030) than the control group after 8 weeks of intervention. The death education program was shown to be an effective nursing intervention for generic care workers. Therefore, we can consider the possibility of incorporating death education in the nursing program.
