본 연구에서는 노인의 삶의 질 향상을 위한 정책과 실천적 제언을 제공하려는 목적으로 노인의 심리 정서적 변인과 노인의 삶의 질에 대한 메타분석을 실시하였다. 총 65편의 학술지 논문을 선정해 위험요인과 보호요인으로 구분하여 메타분석을 진행한 결과, 심리 정서적 변인의 위험요인은 우울, 고독, 외로움, 불안, 스트레스 순으로 중간효과크기가 나타났으며 자살생각과 죽음불안은 작은 효과크기를 보였다. 보호요인으로는 자아존중감이 가장 큰 효과크기를 보였고 자아효능감, 자아통제 순으로 효과크기가 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해서 우울이 노인의 삶의 질에 중요한 영향요인이 되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며 노인의 삶의 질 향상을 위해서 우울을 조기발견하고 개입할 수 있는 게이트키퍼의 활용과 찾아가는 상담서비스의 확대가 필요하며 자살생각이나 죽음불안을 경감시키기 위해 죽음준비교육을 일반화시키고 자아존중감을 높이기 위해 노인에게 적합한 일자리를 창출하고 재능기부 및 자원봉사활동 참여 기회의 확대를 제언하였다.

장례문화는 화장위주의 장례방법 개선에서 죽은 자의 복지적 차원의 접근이 필요하다. 장례문화는 미래지향적으로 재조명해 보고, 웰엔딩(well-ending)과 연계한 발전방향을 모색할 필요성이 있다. 본고에서는 장례문화 변화과정과 서울시 장례문화의 문제점 진단을 통해 웰엔딩의 실천과제를 모색하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 서울 시민 500명을 대상으로 조사한 장례문화 의식조사 결과를 활용하였다. 웰엔딩은 생의 마지막 순간까지 인간의 존엄성을 보장해 주고 죽음문화를 질적으로 향상시키는 과정이다. 웰엔딩 문화의 체계적인 접근은 죽음의 질적 개선을 달성할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 고령사회에 부응하는 장례문화 정착을 위해서는 장례문화에 대한 패라다임의 전환이 필요하다. 웰엔딩 준비 교육은 죽음을 맞이하는 당사자 뿐 만 아니라 살아있는 가족들에도 삶의 의미를 깨달을 수 있다. 그리고 장사시설은 모든 세대가 공유할 수 있는 문화 복지시설로 확충될 수 있도록 우리의 지혜를 모아야 한다.

본 연구는 간호학과 1학년을 대상으로 호스피스 인식에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 간호대학생의 호스피스 인식과 죽음에 대한 태도를 향상시킬 수 있는 호스피스완화 간호중재 및 전략을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. G도에 소재한 J대학 간호학과 185명을 대상으로 자료수집 하였다. IBM SPSS WIN/25.0을 이용하여 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, Multiple regression을 사용하였다. 호스피스 인식은 도덕적 행동(r=.22, p=.002), 생명의료윤리 의식(r=.29, p<.001)과 상관관계가 있었다. 대상자의 호스피스 인식에 가장 영향을 미치는 요인은 생명의료윤리 의식(β=.224, p=.012), 그 다음으로, 부모님의 경제력(상)(β=.187, p=.027) 순이었다. 설명력은 11.5%이었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 호스피스 인식 제고를 위한 대학생활 동안 도덕적 행동과 생명의료윤리 의식을 향상시킬 수 있도록 체계적인 프로그램이 필요하며, 호스피스 교육 프로그램 개발에 도움이 되는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

목적: 본 연구는 심폐소생술 비시행(DNR)에 관해 간호사와 의사의 DNR에 대한 인식 및 태도가 DNR 관련 교육 및 임상경험 여부에 따른 차이가 있는지 분석하고자 하였다. 방법: 연구대상은 단일대학병원에서 근무하는 간호사와 의사로서 총 310명이었으며, 자료수집 기간은 2013년 8월 19일부터 8월 30일까지였다. 연구도구는 DNR에 관해 간호사와 의사의 임상 경험과 윤리문제에 관한 인식 및 태도를 조사하기 위해 연구자들의 문헌고찰을 통해 30문항으로 구성된 설문지를 사용하였다. 결과: 본 연구의 참여자 중에 간호사는 238명(77%), 의사는 72명(23%)이었다. 대부분의 참가자들(99%)이 DNR의 필요성에 동의하였고 이유로는 환자의 편안하고 품위 있는 죽음(52%), 회복이 불가능한 의학적 상태(23%), 환자 본인의 죽음에 대한 선택(19%)의 순이었다. DNR 임상경험에 따른 차이는 DNR 필요성의 동의, DNR 시기 및 DNR 이후의 다른 치료의 허용에 대해서 차이를 보였다. 그러나 DNR 교육 여부에 따른 차이는 DNR 시기 이외에는 유의한 차이를 보이지 못하였다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 DNR에 대한 교육보다는 임상에서의 경험이 실제 DNR에 대한 인식 및 태도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것을 보여주었기에 효과적인 DNR 교육을 위하여는 실제 임상 실습을 통한 교육이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to classify the subjectivity type toward death among college students and to understand the characteristics of attitudes and orientations toward death of each type. Since attitudes and orientations toward death is very subjective and unique, Q-methodology was employed in this study. Q-methodology explains the respondent's subjectivity by objectifying his subjectivity for himself. The P-sample consisted of 63 students of K university in D city. Forty statements concerning attitudes and orientations toward death, which developed by Yeun(1999) were utilized for Q-sample. Forty Q-statements were sorted according to the level of agreement or disagreement by forced normal distribution. The Q-sorts by each subjects were coded and analysed with the PC-QUANL program. Five types of subjectivity toward death were identified and labeled. Type 1 'the death- preparation' think frequently about his own death and talk openly about the problem of death with a positive attitude. Type 2 'the life-esteemed' respect the dignity of life most of all. Type 3 'the realty-oriented' do not believe the afterlife and is very concerned about the present life itself instead of thinking about death. Type 4 'the ambivalent' think importantly the aspect of present life and orient the afterlife at the same time. This type reveals opposite attitude of preparing and scaring the death at the same time. Type 5 'the destiny-recipient' attribute death to the destiny and deny suicide. On the basis of this result, the studies about applying and developing educational program on death and hospice care for nurses who care terminal cancer patients and families are needed.

This study aims to analyze what Saul Bellow wants to define "Love" in his recent work, More Die of Heartbreak. As a humanist, Saul Bellow is concerned about materialism in Post-modern age through his works. Today there are so many people that are hurt by the failure of love or experience heartbreak. We need to sense invisible danger all around us. We can find Bellovian love in More Die of Heartbreak. Bellow suggests that there should be "true love" between people, especially between men and women. But Kenneth Trachtenberg and Benn Crader have selfish and materialistic love. Kenneth had only a sensual desire for Treckie who is his daughter's mother. He cannot persuade Treckie to marry him. Benn, a middle-aged widower, peremptorily marries Matilda Layamon who is much younger than he. Unfortunately, the marriage brings him neither peace nor love. Benn recognizes his wrong conception of love through the death of Mrs. Bedell and Villitzer, and breaking off a marriage with Matilda. He decides to go to Antarctica. This is not an escape. This is his determination to save himself. At the North Pole he sets out to recover his gift of vision and redeem his fall from grace. He will desert his materialistic and absurd self. After the expedition, he will experience rebirth as an authentic human being who has acceptable eyes. Kenneth and Benn learn to conceive of love as one of man's strongest inner energies, for it is through love that you can penetrate to the essence of human being. In this study I try to define Bellovian love. In More Die of Heartbreak, love is a spiritual power that may even transfigure man.

Method: The subjects were 150 nurses working at general hospitals located in Busan city. Data collection was carried out from October 15 to November 30, 2008. The study used a 'Death Anxiety Scale' and a 'Korean Spirituality Scale.' The collected data was analyzed for frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient with the SPSS/WIN 17.0. Result: The level of death anxiety of the subjects averaged 3.25. In each sub-factor, 'awareness of shortness of time' was the highest at 3.57 points. Spirituality level of the subjects averaged 3.51. In each sub-factor, meaning and purpose of life was the highest at 3.70 points. In differences of death anxiety followed by general characteristics, there were significant differences according to age, and educational level. For spirituality, followed by general characteristics, there were significant differences according to age, educational level, religion, working period, and understanding about death and spirituality. There was a weak inverse correlation among fear for accidents involved with death, total spirituality level and meaning, and purpose of life. Conclusion: Future research should examine relations between nurses' death anxiety and spirituality level through random sampling and research to check psychological and social variables that influence death anxiety and spirituality. Development of a program to lessen nurses' death anxiety and to raise their spirituality level would be prudent.
