Purpose: The purpose of this methodological study was to examine the validity and reliability of a translated Korean version of Templer's death anxiety scale among older adults. Methods: The translated Korean scale was administered to 203 older people who aged over 65 years. Exploratory factor analysis was utilized to assess the factor structure of the scale. Internal consistency of the scale was determined using Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ and Guttman's split-half coefficient. Results: Factor loadings of the scale ranged from .43 to .86. The scale showed good internal consistencies of both total scale (13 items, ${\alpha}=.83$) and three sub-scales: meaning of death (6 items, ${\alpha}=.77$), death-related event (5 items, ${\alpha}=.72$), and time of death (2 items, ${\alpha}=.80$). The concurrent validity compare with Fear of Death Scale was significant. The Cronbach's alpha and Guttman's split-half coefficient were .83 and .80, respectively. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that the Korean version of Templer's death anxiety scale had satisfactory validity and reliability to measure death anxiety among Korean older people.

Purpose: This study was performed to identify nursing college students' attitudes towards death and was conducted as a pre-investigation to prepare them for coping with terminally ill patients in their clinical practice. Methods: The subjects consisted of 321 nursing students. Their attitudes towards death were measured by using the Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale(CLFODS). The data obtained were analyzed by using the one-wayANOVA and Duncan's multiple test using the SAS 9.2 soft ware program. Results: The mean CLFODS score was 2.99. Among the 4 subscales, there were significant differences among the students with respect to grade, indirect experience of death, social isolation, daily life stress, and suicidal ideation in the past year. Conclusion: A negative attitude towards death was observed in the psychosocial characteristics, with indirect experience of death, social isolation, daily life stress, and suicidal ideation in the past year. It is necessary to educate students on how to care for dying patients before clinical practice. This education can be carried out by developing a death education program after considering the above mentioned psychosocial characteristics noted in this study.

목적 : 본 연구는 호스피스 자원봉사자를 대상으로 죽음에 대한 인식을 파악하여 자원봉사교육에 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 시도되었다. 방법 : 1996년부터 1999년까지 4년간 실시된 호스피스 자원봉사 교육 대상자 남녀 성인 465명 중 교육하기 전에 실시한 질문지에 응답한 327명에게 죽음에 대한 인식을 자기보고식 설문지를 통하여 수집하여 분석하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/W를 사용하여 분석하였다. 결과 : 1) 대상자는 총 327명이며 여성이 307명으로 93.9%를 차지하였다. 대상자의 연령은 22세에서 74세로 평균 연령은 48세이었고 40(35.9%)${\sim}$50대(37.4%)가 가장 높은 비율을 보였다. 대상자의 종교는 기독교가 전체 대상자의 82.6%를 차지하여 가장 비율을 나타냈다. 2) 죽음에 대하여 긍정적인 인식을 나타냈으며 죽음을 인생의 한 과정으로 받아들이고 있었다. 사형제도에 대해서는 대다수가 비인도적이라고 응답함으로서 부정적인 태도를 보였으며, 현대 의학의 발달로 생명연장을 기대하며, 모든 방법을 동원하여 생명을 연장시키려 노력해야 한다에는 비교적 긍정적인 결과를 보였다. 대상자의 95.4%에서 신앙심이 깊다면 죽음의 공포에서 해방될 수 있다고 응답하였다. 3) 죽음에 대한 인식은 대상자의 연령, 종교에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 연령이 높은 층이 젊은 층보다 죽음에 더 민감하였으나 대체적으로 죽음에 대해 긍정적인 인식을 나타냈다. 4) 종교적으로는 기독교 대상자가 기타 종교를 가진 대상자에 비해 죽음에 대해 긍정적이고 자연스런 과정으로 여기며 죽음에 대한 공포감은 깊은 신앙심으로 극복될 수 있다는 강한 종교성을 보였다. 결론 : 본 연구의 결과는 호스피스 자원봉사자를 위한 프로그램 개발 시 중요한 기초 자료를 제시하고 있다.

목적: 본 연구는 간호대학생의 말기환자에 대한 생명의료윤리 인식과 죽음에 대한 태도를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 방법: 대상자는 D광역시에 소재한 일개 전문대학의 3년제 간호과에 재학 중인 660명이었다. 자료는 2011년 10월부터 11월까지 수집하였다. 생명의료윤리 인식은 본 연구자가 선행연구를 근거로 개발한 도구로, 죽음에 대한 태도는 Collett와 Lester(1969)의 FODS (Fear of Death Scale)로 측정하였다. 수집된 자료는 서술통계, Wilcoxon rank sum test와 Kruskall Waills test로 분석하였다. 결과: 생명의료윤리에 대한 문제로 갈등 경험이 있고, 심폐소생술 금지가 필요하다고 생각하며, 종교가 없는 학생이 그렇지 않은 학생에 비해 죽음에 대해 부정적인 태도를 가지고 있었다. 대상자 중 말기환자의 연명치료중단이 필요하다고 생각하는 경우는 81.2%였고, 말기환자의 심폐소생술 금지가 필요하다고 생각하는 경우는 76.4%로서, 심폐소생술 금지가 필요한 이유는 '평안하고 품위있는 죽음을 위해서'가 가장 많았다. 결론: 죽음에 대한 긍정적인 태도의 형성을 위해 확고한 생명의료윤리 가치관의 확립이 요구되며, 가능하면 임상실습을 시작하기 전에 교육이 실시될 필요가 있다. 교육 프로그램을 구성할 때 종교, 학년, 생명의료윤리 갈등 경험, 심폐소생술 금지 찬성 여부가 포함되어야 하며, 말기환자 간호를 미리 경험할 수 있도록 표준화 환자를 이용한 시뮬레이션 실습의 기회를 제공하는 것이 필요하다.

오늘날 많은 현대인들이 힘들게 살아가는 것은 본질적인 문제를 외면하고 물질주의에 너무 깊이 빠져 있기 때문이다. 부귀영화만 쫓을 것이 아니라 삶의 본질을 밝혀낼 수 있는 죽음을 공부함으로써 삶의 진정한 의미를 찾아내야 한다. 장자는 죽음을 초탈한 사람이다. 장자의 죽음관은 아름답다. 이 논문은 "장자"의 죽음관을 통해서 오늘날 현대인들이 어떻게 살아가는지 반추해보고, 그것을 바탕으로 올바른 생사관을 정립하고자 하는 목적으로 쓰여졌다. 그리고 그의 죽음관이 오늘날 우리들에게 무엇을 시사(示唆)하고 있는지 함께 살펴보려고 한다. 죽음만큼 좋은 공부는 없다. 살아가는 데 있어서 죽음 이상의 큰 스승은 없다. 죽음을 생각하면 어떻게 살아야 할지 해답을 찾을 수 있다. 그래서 죽음 공부는 삶의 공부이다. 우리는 죽음을 통해서 삶의 의미와 가치를 발견할 수 있다. 보통 죽음에 대한 문제는 기성종교를 통해서만 해답을 얻을 수 있다고 생각을 하기 쉽다. 하지만 장자의 죽음관을 보면 종교에 의존하지 않고도 얼마든지 죽음의 문제를 해결할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 장자는 죽음을 긍정적으로 생각하게 만들고 죽음에 대한 두려움도 경감시켜 주는 역할을 하였다. 그는 자연의 변화에 순응하면서 사는 것이 가장 잘 사는 길이요, 그렇게 살면 죽음도 편안하게 맞이할 수 있다는 것을 우리에게 가르쳐 주었다.
