본 연구는 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 가족의 죽음 경험 유무에 따라 원하는 웰다잉 교육요구도를 알아보기 위한 예비조사, 서술연구이다. 본 연구 결과 가족의 죽음 경험 유무와 상관없이 모두 웰다잉 교육이 필요하다고 응답하였으며, 웰다잉 교육경험에 대해서는 가족의 죽음 경험이 있는 그룹이 71.8%, 없는 그룹이 40.0%로 나타났다. 또한 웰다잉 교육내용에 있어서 두 그룹 모두 '죽음의 의미와 삶의 가치'가 필요하다고 응답하였다. 이 외에 가족 죽음의 경험이 있는 그룹은 '가족 및 친구의 죽음 시 슬픔을 극복하는 방법', '장기 혹은 시신 기증 절차에 관한 정보' 가 교육내용에 포함되었으면 좋겠다는 의견이 있었으나, 가족 죽음 경험이 없는 그룹에서는 이와 관련된 교육내용에 대한 요구도는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 웰다잉 교육기간 또한 두 그룹 모두 1주일이 적절하다고 응답하였으며, 웰다잉 교육 방법에 있어서는 두 그룹 모두 강의 및 토의가 가장 높았다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 추후, 웰다잉 교육을 진행시에는 일회성이 아닌 지속가능한 교육이 필요하며, 노인 뿐 아니라 가족이 함께 참여할 수 있는 교육이 필요할 것이다.
