This study was done to develop an euthanasia attitude scale. Subjects who participated in the study were a convenience sample of 234 Korean nurses. Data were collected through a survey over a period of three months. The analysis of the data was done using SPSS PC for descriptive statistics, factor analysis and Cronbach's Coefficient Alpha. Initially 63 items were generated from interview data from eighteen nurses and from a literature review. This preliminary scale was analyzed for a reliability and validity. The results are as follow: 1, Crombach's Coefficient alpha for the 19 items was .8804. 2. Factor analysis was done in order to confirm construct validity and four factor were extracted from the results. These contributed 56.6% of the variance in the total score. 3. Each factor was labled 'qualify of life', 'respect of life, 'client's right', 'medical ethics'. The author suggests that this scale could be used in assessing the attitude of Korean nurses toward euthanasia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate nurses' perceptions and attitudes towards euthanasia. Method: The subject consisted of 345 nurses from the four general hospitals above 500 beds. Measurement tools were the Ryu's perceptions towards euthanasia, and Park's attitudes toward euthanasia. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA by using SPSS WIN 10.0 program. Results: The approval rate of passive euthanasia was 62.6%. Main reason of approval for the passive euthanasia was that euthanasia was "act of mercy". On the other hand, main reason of opposition was that "life is invaluable". 81.2% of subjects responded saying that they would ask for passive euthanasia. The approval rate of active euthanasia was 15.7%. 54.8% of subjects responded saying that they will not ask for active euthanasia. General characteristics significantly related to attitudes to euthanasia were the units, nursing degree, and meaning of euthanasia. The mean score for attitudes to euthanasia was 2.36 and it was negative attitudes. Conclusion: Man has the right to live within his life with dignity. What is most important here seems to be the legalization of euthanasia which still remains unresolved.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions and attitudes of nurses toward euthanasia. Method: In this descriptive study, data were collected from 485 nurses using a self-report questionnaire. The attitudes toward euthanasia scales were composed of four sub dimensions; quality of life, client's right, respect for life and medical ethics. The data were analyzed with descriptive and parametric statistics using SPSS WIN program. Results: Of the nurses, 84.7% were in agreement with constituting a law for euthanasia and 57.6% accepted passive euthanasia. Further, 80.1% would accept euthanasia for their own end-of-life situation. The most frequent reason for pro euthanasia was pain relief, and for con, respect for lift. The mean attitude score was 54.64 and that of sub dimensions, were 2.81 for quality of life, 3.21 for client's right, 2.87 for respect for life, and 2.84 for medical ethics. The nurses who were positive in their thinking about euthanasia had higher attitude scores. Among general characteristics of the nurses, attitudes scores were significantly different according to religion. Conclusion: Although many nurses had a positive concept of euthanasia, they still have ethical dilemmas in lift-sustaining care. Therefore training programs on moral rights are necessary to provide guidelines for end-of-life care.

목적: 말기 암 환자의 증가, 노년인구의 증가, 연명치료기술의 발달 등으로 완치될 수 없는 질환을 가진 말기 환자에 대한 치료 결정(End of life decision making)은 늘어나고 있다. 하지만 이에 대한 의료진의 태도나 환자 및 보호자의 인식은 낮은 상태에 있고 이로 인해서 말기 환자에게 말기진정과 같은 결정이 필요한 경우에 있어서도 그 시행에 많은 제약이 있으며 때로는 잘못된 시행으로 윤리적으로 어긋나는 경우가 발생되고 있다. 이에 의과대학 교육과정을 통하여 말기 환자 치료 결정에 대한 올바른 태도 변화를 가져올 수 있으며, 미래 의료계의 주역이 될 의과대학생들이 말기진정을 포함하여 능동적 안락사, 의사조력자살, 연명치료 유보 및 중단 등 말기 환자 치료결정에 대해 어떠한 태도를 가지고 있는가를 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 2007년 6월 25일부터 6월 29일 사이에 1개 의과대학 본과 1, 2학년 학생과 임상 실습중인 3학년 학생 총 388명을 대상으로 능동적 안락사, 의사조력자살, 연명치료 유보 및 중단, 말기 진정 등 말기 환자 치료결정에 대한 태도와 인구사회학적 자료를 설문 조사하였다. 응답이 완료된 267명을 대상으로 말기 환자 치료결정에 대한 태도와 각 인자들 간의 관련성을 분석하였다. 결과: 일개 의과대학생 267명을 대상으로 시행한 설문 조사에서 능동적 안락사, 의사조력자살, 연명치료의 유보 및 중단, 말기 진정의 시행에 찬성하는 비율은 각각 37.1%, 21.7%, 58.4%, 60.3%, 41.6%였다. 이 비율은 각 항목의 윤리적 타당성에 대한 설문 결과와 유사하였다. 1학년보다는 3학년에서 능동적 안락사와 의사조력자살은 더 반대하였고, 연명치료 유보 및 중단, 말기 진정에 대해서는 더 찬성하였다. 종교 활동 시간이 많을수록 각 항목에 대한 찬성이 적었으며 교육 경험 유무, 특히 임상실습경험이 있는 3학년 학생에서 말기 진정에 더 많이 찬성하였다. 연령, 임종 환자 경험 유무가 태도에 미치는 영향은 없었다. 결론: 말기 환자 치료 결정의 구체적 임상 행위에 대한 의과대학생의 태도에 이전 연구에서처럼 종교 또는 교육이 말기 환자 치료 결정에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 특히, 임상실습을 통한 교육경험이 태도 변화에 중요하였다.
