본 연구는 2003년부터 1월부터 2022년 7월까지 국내 학술지에 게재된 임종간호 연구의 동향을 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 자료수집을 위해 '한국학술지인용색인'을 이용하였으며 총 115편의 논문을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 임종간호 논문은 2008년 이후 꾸준히 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, 2017년에서 2019년에 가장 많은 논문이 출판된 것으로 확인되었다. 이들 연구는 주로 간호사와 간호대학생을 대상으로 수행되었고, 간호사의 경우 주로 상급종합병원, 요양병원, 종합병원에서 근무하는 것으로 파악되었다. 논문의 주요 주제로는 임종간호 태도, 수행, 임종간호 스트레스와 관련된 연구가 많았으며 연구 방법으로는 양적연구가 78.3%로 다수를 차지하였다. 논문의 IRB 승인 여부를 분석한 결과, IRB 승인을 받은 논문은 64.3%로 확인되었다. 이처럼 본 연구는 국내 학술지에 게재된 임종간호 연구의 동향을 분석하여 향후 연구방향을 제시했다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다.

Purpose: This descriptive study aimed to explore nursing workplace spirituality, end-of-life care stress, and resilience as factors influencing compassion fatigue among nurses working in hospice and palliative care units. Methods: Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire completed by 146 nurses at 14 hospice and palliative care institutions across South Korea who had worked in a hospice and palliative care institution for at least 6 months and had experience providing end-of-life care. Data were collected from February 25, 2019 to April 12, 2019, and analyzed using SPSS for Windows version 18.0. As appropriate, descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression were used. Results: The survey results showed that factors influencing compassion fatigue were resilience, subjective health status, current satisfaction with the hospice ward, and end-of-life care stress. Higher levels of resilience, a subjective health status of "healthy", high levels of current satisfaction with the hospice ward, and lower levels of end-of-life care stress were associated with lower levels of compassion fatigue, explaining 42.9% of the total variance. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that resilience is an important factor mitigating compassion fatigue among nurses at hospice and palliative care institutions. Therefore, intervention programs should be developed to reduce compassion fatigue.

본 연구는 노인 장기요양 서비스를 제공하는 기관에서 종사하는 사회복지사들이 임종 케어 과정에서 겪는 심리·사회적 경험 및 역할에 대해 알아보았다. 심층 면접을 통한 자료 분석 결과 사회복지사들은 임종 케어 과정에서 빈번한 죽음 경험으로 인해 기가 빠지고 소진됨을 경험하였으며 돌아가신 노인분들에게 더 잘해드리지 못한 것에 대해 아쉬움과 정든 분에 대한 그리움을 나타냈다. 그리고 갑작스러운 죽음이 발생하면 가족들의 비난과 불평을 겪기도 하였다. 임종 케어시 사회복지사들의 주된 역할로 죽음 징후가 나타나면 가족들에게 수시로 연락하여 소통하였고 임종 후 주 부양자 가족들을 위로하고 지지하였다. 응급상황 대처를 위한 사전준비와 응급조치에 대한 법적 안전망, 사회복지사들의 소진을 막기 위한 재충전 프로그램 및 지지 모임, 임종 케어를 위한 표준화된 매뉴얼과 교육의 필요성이 제시되었다. 또한 노인분의 존엄한 죽음을 위하여 죽음 준비교육, 호스피스 케어, 사전 의료의향서 등의 필요성도 강조되었다.

Purpose: The aim of this descriptive study was to identify factors influencing quality of life among family caregivers of non-cancer patients at the end-of-life stage. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a questionnaire. Participants included 172 family caregivers caring for non-cancer patients. Data were collected from April to May 2016 and analyzed with descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and a hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Results: The mean of the participants' quality of life was 51.70±9.98. Factors influencing quality of life among family caregivers were spiritual care (𝛽=-.45, p=.021), coordination among family members or relatives (𝛽=-.27, p=.029), and psychological support (𝛽=-.04, p=.031). The explanatory power of the model was 21.0%. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that care needs; spiritual care, coordination among family members or relatives, and psychological support are important factors for family caregivers' quality of life. To improve quality of life among family caregivers who are taking care of non-cancer patients at the end-of-life stage, national systems establishing comprehensive support considering the respective care needs of patients are crucial.

목적: 본 연구는 암병동 간호사의 임종간호에 따른 스트레스와 인지정도 및 교육요구도를 파악하고자 수행되었다. 방법: 본 연구는 서울과 경기도에 소재한 4개 종합병원 암병동에 근무하는 간호사 151명이었으며, 자가보고식 설문지로 자료를 수집하였다. 스트레스 측정도구는 40문항, 인지정도와 교육요구도 측정도구는 각각 27문항으로 구성되었으며, 수집된 자료는 서술적 통계방법으로 분석하였다. 결과: 암병동 간호사의 임종간호에 따른 스트레스 정도는 5점 만점에 평균 3.96점으로 높았으며, 영역별 스트레스는 업무량 과중이 가장 높았고, 임종환자에게 시간할애의 어려움, 임종환자와의 인간적 갈등의 순이었다. 임종간호에 대한 인지정도는 5점 만점에 평균 2.64점이었으며, 인지정도가 가장 낮은 문항은 죽음에 대한 아동의 이해였으며, 법적 측면, 진실통고에 대한 윤리적 근거의 순이었다. 임종간호에 대한 교육요구도는 5점 만점에 평균 3.25점으로 높았으며, 스트레스와 소진관리, 임종 전 관리, 의사소통 방법, 임종준비에 대한 의사소통, 마약성 진통제 관리에 대한 교육요구도가 높았다. 간호사의 일반적 특성에 따른 임종간호에 대한 스트레스는 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 임상경력이 길수록, 호스피스 교육기간이 길수록, 임종간호 횟수가 많을수록 임종간호에 대한 인지정도가 높았고, 암병동 근무기간이 길수록 임종간호에 대한 교육요구도가 높음을 알 수 있었다. 결론: 본 연구의 결과에서 임종간호에 대한 스트레스가 높고, 인지정도는 낮으며, 교육요구도가 높았던 내용을 토대로 하여 교육 프로그램을 개발, 적용하는 것이 필요하다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the chronic patients' preferences for care near the end of life. Methods: This is a descriptive survey research, with subjects of 161 outpatients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus or chronic renal failure. Results: The majority of the subjects do not want meaningless life sustaining treatment and they report thinking positively about family or health care professional to participate in their end of life decision making process. Subjects reported preferring adequate pain management and spiritual support at the end of life. In regard to advance directives (ADs), those subjects with chronic disease report thinking positively about the necessity of ADs and its institutionalization. However, the subjects report not having the detailed information on the proper time and method of writing their ADs. Conclusion: Based on these results, educational programs on end of life decision making for chronic patients need to be developed. Also, the nurse should try to reflect the opinion of chronic patients as much as possible when make an end-of-life decision.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify the extent to which nurses' death perceptions, death anxiety, and stress associated with terminal care affects their attitudes toward terminal care. Method : A total of 214 nurses were asked questions about characteristics, death perceptions, death anxiety, stress associated with end-of-life care, and terminal care attitudes, using structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results : Factors influencing terminal care attitudes in participants were positive meaning associated with death, respect for life, final education, end-of-life nursing education experiences, stress associated with end-of-life care, death anxiety, and position. These factors explained 38.7% of variance in participants' terminal care attitudes (F=20.18, p<.001). Conclusion : In order for nurses to have a positive attitude toward terminal care, it is necessary to raise positive awareness about death and respect for life, and it is necessary to develop various educational programs and strengthen their capacity through continuous education.

The data were collected through long-term care benefit provision records and interviews with the visiting nurse. The nursing process was presented by applying the Omaha System. Results: The subject had digestion-hydration problems and respiration problems in the physiological domain, and the problems of role change, caretaking/parenting, spirituality, and grief in the psychosocial domain were identified. Depending on the problem, the end of life nursing care was provided to the subject and family members through activities on physical symptoms/signs, dietary management, end-life care, and coping skills. Conclusion: We expect that if the visiting nurse provides anticipatory guidance on the death process, the subject will be able to prepare for death comfortably with the family at home instead of vague fear of death.

Purpose: In Korea, about 30,000 people die in intensive care units annually. However, their quality of life at the end-of-life seems very low. The purpose of this study was to describe palliative care models that could be applied in intensive care units and examine nurses' roles in the models. Methods: A conventional literature review was performed focusing on palliative care in intensive care units and nursing roles in the approaches identified. Results: There are two different models regarding the implementation of palliative care approaches in the intensive care unit. Those are the consultative model and the integrative model. Each model has advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, an appropriate model must be chosen according to the setting. Nurses' roles could vary depending on the setting. Conclusion: Palliative care in the intensive care unit is important to improve patients' quality of life. Moreover, nursing roles are important in providing comprehensive palliative care in intensive care units.
