Purpose: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of spiritual nursing intervention on the spiritual well being and depression levels of hospice patients. Method: The data for this study were collected from 62 patients who were admitted to the hospice care unit from July 28, 2002 to October 31, 2002 in D city K hospital. Subjects were 31 members of the experimental group and 31 members of the control group. It was devised with a nonequivalent control group pretest posttest design. The spiritual nursing intervention was given by using the therapeutic use of self. Scripture. prayer. Hymn and music. use of church community involvement and referrals to pastors according to the assessment of patients' spiritual needs for 3 weeks(total 12 times and 1 hour per each intervention). Sangsoon Choi (1990) and Jungho Kang(1996)'s spiritual well being scale. which was modified from Palautzian and Ellison (1982)'s spiritual well being scale, was used to investigate patients' spiritual well being. To investigate the level of depression. OkHyun Song(1977)'s Depression Scale, which was modified from Zung(1965)'s Depression Inventory, was used. Data were analyzed by $x^2$-test. t-test. and repeated measures ANOVA with SPSS/Win 10.0 program. Results: 1. The 1st hypothesis. 'total spiritual well being score in the experimental group, who received the spiritual nursing intervention, will be higher than the control group who did not receive the spiritual nursing intervention' was supported (F=6.28, p=0.015, Interaction: p=0.000). 2. The 1 lst sub hypothesis, 'religious well being score in the experimental group, who received the spiritual nursing intervention, will be higher than the control group who did not receive the spiritual nursing intervention' was supported(F=12.75, p=0.001 Interaction: p=0.000). 3. The 1 2nd sub hypothesis, 'existential well being score in the experimental group, who received the spiritual nursing intervention, will be higher than the control group who did not receive the spiritual nursing intervention' was supported(F=6.87, p=0.016, Interaction: p=0.000). 4. The 2nd hypothesis, 'depression level in the experimental group, who received the spiritual nursing intervention, will be lower than the control group who did not receive the spiritual nursing intervention' was supported (F=10.45, p=0.002, Interaction: p=0.000). Conclusion: From the above results, spiritual nursing intervention was an effective program to improve the spiritual well being state and decrease the depression levels of the hospice patients. In the future, with spiritual intervention. which the researcher developed, is applied in the nursing field, the hospice patients can have comprehensive well being including spiritual well being and die peacefully.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 호스피스 병동에 입원한 호스피스 환자들의 돌봄 요구 유형과 가족간호자가 인지하는 환자의 돌봄 요구 유형을 파악하고, 두 군 간에 차이가 있는지 비교하여 호스피스 환자의 돌봄 요구를 만족시키기에 도움이 되는 방법을 모색하는데 필요한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법으로는 개인에 대한 내적 의미에 중심을 두고 인간의 주관성이나 태도 유형을 심층적으로 측정할 수 있는 연구 방법론인 Q방법론을 적용하였다. 방법: 본 연구를 위한 Q표본은 호스피스 환자들의 돌봄 요구에 대한 경험으로 구성된 23개의 진술문이다. 자료는 2002년 12월부터 2003년 2월까지 23개의 Q-표본을 이용하여 C 대학 K 병원 호스피스병동에 입원하고 연구에 동의한 환자 20명군과 이들을 간호하는 주 가족간호자 20명군으로 가족 20쌍의 P-표본으로부터 각각 수집하였다. 탈분포도는 정상 분포방식에 따라 9점 척도 상에 대상자의 의견과 일치하는 정도에 따라 분류하도록 하였으며, 면담시 대상자의 구술도 기록하였다. 자료 분석은 Quanl PC 프로그램을 통한 Q요인분석인 주인자 분석방법을 이용하여, 요구 유형을 파악하기 위하여 평균분석, 요인 가중치, 영역별 요인 분석, 요인 배열을 하였고, 요인수의 결정을 위해 아이겐값은 1.0 이상을 기준으로 하였다. 결과: 연구결과 호스피스 환자 군과 가족간호자 군이 인지한 호스피스 환자의 돌봄 요구 유형은 네 가지로 확인되었다. 신체적, 정서적, 영적, 그리고 사회적 돌봄 요구 유형. 돌봄 요구 유형에 대한 두 군 간의 전체 일치률은 48%이었다. 제 1유형은 '신체적 돌봄 요구형' 으로 통증조절이 안된 상태로 통증으로 인하여 심한 고통을 당하고 있어 주호소인 통증 및 신체적 안위에 대한 돌봄을 우선적으로 요구하였다. 두 군 간의 일치율은 62.5%이었다. 제 2유형은 '정서적 돌봄 요구형' 으로 가족과 친밀감과 사랑을 나누기를 원하고 죽음에 대한 두려움을 따뜻한 대화로써 정서적으로 지지 받기를 원하였다. 두 군 간의 일치율은 20%이었다. 제 3유형은 '영적 돌봄 요구형' 으로 대상자 모두 종교를 가지고 신심이 깊었으며 절대자에게 용서 받고 싶은 욕구가 많았고 기도와 사목자의 방문을 원하였다. 두 군 간의 일치율은 60%이었다. 제 4유형은 '사회적 돌봄 요구형'으로 자신이 하던 일에 대한 마무리와 봉사를 원하는 것으로 나타났다. 두 군 간의 일치율은 50%이었다. 이상으로 볼 때, 호스피스 환자와 가족간호자가 인지한 환자의 돌봄 요구는 큰 차이가 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 호스피스 간호사는 호스피스 환자의 돌봄 요구를 만족시키기 위해서 환자와 가족간호자간에 환자의 돌봄 요구에 대한 인지의 차이를 좁히기 위한 적절한 방법을 모색하고, 가족간호자에게 환자의 돌봄 요구를 사정하기 위한 교육을 시켜야 하겠다.

영적간호는 호스피스 완화의료의 중심에 있다. 심각하고 생명을 위협하는 질병에 직면한 환자는 신앙, 희망 및 실존적 관심과 관련하여 중요한 요구를 가지고 있다. 이 논문의 목적은 영성, 영적 평가 및 영적간호 중재의 정의를 포함하여 이러한 간호의 핵심 측면들을 검토하는 것이다. 호스피스 완화의료에서 영적간호와 관련된 내용을 파악하기 위해 현재의 문헌 자료들을 조사했다. 점점 더 많은 증거들이 양질의 완화의료의 핵심 영역으로서 영적간호의 중요성을 뒷받침하고 있다. 문헌은 포괄적인 환자 및 가족 평가의 핵심 측면으로서 영적 평가의 중요성을 뒷받침한다. 영성은 다른 실존적 문제들뿐만 아니라 종교적인 관심도 포함한다. 향후 연구 및 임상시험은 영적간호를 제공하기 위한 최선의 지원 모델을 검증해야 한다.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the need of medical supporting service (MSS) as a part of community-based hospice palliative care from the view point of beneficiaries and providers. Methods : This study adopted a methodological triangulation design. A questionnaire regarding intention to use MSS was completed by 175 patients under home-based cancer patient management program. And three focus groups consisted of hospice nurses, public health physicians, and public officials were interviewed to obtain the perceived needs, obstacles, and solutions of MSS. Results : Mean age of home-based cancer patient was 70.18 year old, 48.0% of them were living alone. Only 53.7% of them were treated pain and 93.7% intend to take pain medication prescribed by public health physician. All participants of focus group interviews agreed necessity and importance of MSS. Physicians' lack of confidence and unwillingness to prescribe opioid to terminal patients was the biggest obstacle to provide MSS in the public health center. Conclusions : The necessity and demand of MSS for community-dwelling cancer patients were verified. MSS is urgent issue to meet their needs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare differences in spiritual needs (SNs) and factors influencing SNs between patients with progressive terminal kidney disease and their family caregivers. Methods: An explorative comparative survey was used to identify the SNs of patients (N=102) with progressive terminal kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis and their family caregivers (N=88) at a general hospital located in Seoul, South Korea. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, the independent t-test, one way analysis of variance, the Scheffe test, and multiple regression with dummy variables. Results: The SNs among family caregivers were higher than in the patient group. SNs were higher among those who were religious in both groups. Loving others was the highest-ranked subdimension in the patient group, followed in descending order by maintaining positive perspective, finding meaning, Reevaluating beliefs and life, asking "why?", receiving love and spiritual support, preparing for death, and relating to God. In the family group, the corresponding order was maintaining positive perspective, loving others, finding meaning, receiving love and spiritual support, preparing for death, relating to God, and asking "why?". The factors that had a negative influence on the level of SNs were not being religious in the patient group and having only a middle school level of education in the family group. Conclusion: The results of this study may serve as evidence that spiritual care for non-cancer patients' family caregivers should be considered as an important part of hospice and palliative care.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine differences in Spiritual Interests Related to Illness Tool (SpIRIT) scores and the degree of spiritual needs (SNs) between patients with terminal cancer and their primary family caregivers and to compare spiritual needs between them. Methods: The study participants were inpatients with terminal cancer and their primary family caregivers at 40 national hospice centers. The final analysis included 120 SpIRIT surveys from patients and 115 from family members, and 99 SNs questionnaires from patients and 111 from family members. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: There were no significant between-group differences in SpIRIT scores or SNs. The SpIRIT sub-dimensions that ranked high for both patients and primary family caregivers were "maintaining positive perspective", "loving others", and "finding meaning". The SNs sub-dimensions were ranked identically in both groups, in the order of "love and connection", "hope and peace", "meaning and purpose", respectively. In both groups, the recognition of the importance of spiritual matters and religion were major factors influencing SpIRIT scores and SNs. Conclusion: The SpIRIT scores and degree of SNs of patients with terminal cancer and their primary family caregivers were found to be very closely related, and the needs for coherence and meaning were greater than religious needs. When providing spiritual care for patients with terminal illness, family members should also be considered, and their prioritization of spiritual needs and the importance of spiritual matters and religion shall be taken into account.

The Spiritual Care Guide in HospiceㆍPalliative Care is evidence-based and focuses on the universal and integral aspects of human spirituality-such as meaning and purpose, interconnectedness, and transcendence-which go beyond any specific religion. This guide was crafted to improve the spiritual well-being of adult patients aged 19 and older, as well as their families, who are receiving end-of-life care. The provision of spiritual care in hospice and palliative settings aims to assist patients and their families in finding life's meaning and purpose, restoring love and relationships, and helping them come to terms with death while maintaining hope. It is recommended that spiritual needs and the interventions provided are periodically reassessed and evaluated, with the findings recorded. Additionally, hospice and palliative care teams are encouraged to pursue ongoing education and training in spiritual care. Although challenges exist in universally applying this guide across all hospice and palliative care organizations in Korea-due to varying resources and the specific environments of medical institutions-it is significant that the Korean Society for Hospice and Palliative Care has introduced a spiritual care guide poised to enhance the spiritual well-being and quality of care for hospice and palliative care patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the meaning of spiritual care as perceived by nursing students. Methods: This study used a descriptive research design, and the participants were 126 fourth-year nursing students from three nursing colleges. Data were collected from August to September 2019, and were analyzed using the content analysis method. Results: Four themes of spiritual care with 15 sub-themes were extracted from the content analysis: 1) "promoting spiritual well-being" (sub-themes: "providing religious help", "caring for the patient as a spiritual being", and "presupposing human dignity regardless of religion"); 2) "taking place in actual nursing practice" (representative sub-themes: "considering the perspective of the patient", "reducing suffering"); 3) "caring for the multifaceted needs of human beings" (representative sub-themes: "providing physical, mental, and spiritual care", "caring for both the mental and physical health of the patient"), and 4) "growing together" (sub-themes: "positively affecting patient well-being", "beginning with the nurse's self-transcendence"). Conclusion: These results suggest that nursing students consider spiritual care to be a highly positive and practical form of nursing care. However, because few students have been exposed to religion and spirituality, more systematic training should be provided.
