목적: 본 연구는 학령기 아동의 죽음인식에 대한 탐색적 연구를 통하여 그들의 죽음인식에 대한 주관적 구조와 유형을 탐색하여 학령기 아동에게 죽음인식을 이해하며 효과적인 죽음준비교육 프로그램을 개발 시행하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도하였다. 방법: 학령기 아동의 죽음인식에 관한 주관적인 구조와 유형을 탐색할 수 있는 Q방법론을 사용하였다. Q-모집단은 학령기 아동 20명을 대상으로 중립적 면담과 개방형 질문지를 이용하고 문헌연구를 통하여 총 132개의 진술문을 수집하였으며. Q표본은 비 구조화된 방법을 통해 23개의 진술문(Q-표본)을 도출하였다, P표본은 학령기 아동 31명(8세-13세)이었으며 Q카드를 이용하여 Q-분류를 실시하였으며, 수집된 자료는 PC QUANL 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 학령기 아동의 죽음인식 유형은 5개의 유형으로 분류되었다. 제 1 유형은 기능적형으로 죽음의 구성요소인 비역행성, 보편성, 비기능성, 인과성에 대한 주관적 인식이 두드러진 유형이었다. 제 2 유형은 사후 세계형으로 기독교의 종교적 배경을 가진 아동들과 직계가족의 죽음을 경험을 했으며 사후세계에 대하여 강한 내세 중심의 죽음인식이 두드러진 유형이었다. 제 3 유형은 종교형으로 죽어서도 가족과 친구들을 지켜볼 수 있다는 믿음이 강하기 때문에 사후세계에 대한 긍정적인 믿음이 확실한 유형이었다. 제 4 유형은 공포형으로 죽음에 대한 공포가 타 유형에 비하여 강한 유형이었다. 제 5 유형은 현실형으로 좋은 죽음에 대한 인식에 강한 긍정적인 동의를 보이는 유형이었다. 결론: 본 연구결과가 주는 간호학적 의의는 다음과 같다. 간호실무면에서 학령기 아동의 죽음인식의 주관성을 이해하는데 있어서 기존의 문헌이나 연구에서 중점적으로 제시하고 있는 죽음의 구성요소에 대한 이해의 차원에서 좀 더 확대되어 학령기 아동이 인지하는 죽음의 정의, 사후세계, 좋은 죽음에 대한 인지수준을 이해하고 유형별 특성에 따라 학령기 아동들의 효과적인 죽음준비교육 프로그램을 개발하는데 유용한 자료로 사용하여, 청소년기에 나타나는 죽음 경시풍조 및 만연된 자살을 예방하고 올바른 삶을 살아갈 수 있도록 밑거름이 되는 역할을 담당 할 것이다. 간호이론 면에서 학령기 아동의 죽음인식의 주관적 구조와 유형별 특성을 규명하고 탐색함으로써 학령기 아동의 죽음인식 모델 구축과 나아가 생명존중의 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있다. 간호연구 면에서 학령기 아동에게 유형별로 긍정적인 죽음인식과 더 나아가 생명 존중의 측면에서 심리사회적 간호를 제공하기 위한 도구의 개발과 간호중재 전략의 효과를 규명하는 연구에 기여할 수 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among knowledge and attitude toward palliative care and perception of death for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 110 nurses who work in NICUs in South Korea. The participants filled out a questionnaire regarding their knowledge, attitude towards palliative care and perception of death. The attitude scale was divided into 3 subscales: comfort level, nurses' role and nurses' involvement with family. Results: Comfort level regarding attitude towards palliative care was positively correlated with knowledge (r=.220, p=.016) and the perception of death (r=.194, p=.042). Nurses' role showed a positive correlation with perception of death (r=.395, p=.001). Conclusion: NICU nurses' knowledge of palliative care was below standard across the board, implying that there is a definite need for palliative care education for nurses. The education program for palliative care should include a section that focuses on fostering a positive perception of death as well as defining and delineating the role of nurses.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors affecting the terminal care stress of nurses in intensive care units in terms of their death perception, attitude toward terminal care, and mental health. Methods: This descriptive study collected data from 118 nurses in intensive care units in one tertiary referral hospital and three general hospitals. The instruments used in the study were the Terminal Care Stress Assessment Tool, the View of Life and Death Scale, the Frommelt Attitudes toward Nursing Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD), and the Mental Health Assessment Tool. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between terminal care stress and death perception (r=.31, p<.001). The factors significantly influencing the terminal care stress of the participants included gender (β=.33, p<.001), religion (β=.24, p=.004), and death perception (β=.35, p<.001), and the overall explanatory power was 23.1% (F=12.73, p<.001). Conclusion: To decrease terminal care stress among nurses, establishing the death perception of nurses based on value clarification about death may be necessary. Furthermore, this study suggests an intervention study examining the effect of an education program on terminal care stress among ICU nurses.

The aim of this study was to identify the attitude of nursing students' toward death using Q-methodology and to obtain baseline data to improve nursing students' education program on death. Twenty-nine participants at a college classified 40 Q-statements on a one to nine scale. The resultant Q-sort was a matrix representing the participant's operant subjectivity on the issue under consideration. The results of above procedures were analyzed by PQ Method. The results revealed that there are three types of perception about nursing students' attitudes toward the death. The categories were labeled positive-perspective, pain-avoid and preparation-deficiency. Positive-perspective individuals have a positive sense of their life and death. Thus, they would not fear death, believing in an after-life world, while being positive towards donation of intestines after death. Pain-avoid individuals hope life and death without pain. Preparation-deficiency individuals are unprepared to die. In conclusion, this study discovers three types of the perception about nursing students' attitudes toward the perception of death. By identifying the nature of each of these types, this study can be useful to develop efficient strategies for education program on death.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the moderating effect of self-esteem on the perception of death and the meaning of life among hospital nurses. Methods: The participants were 167 nurses working in two tertiary general hospitals located in city B. Data were collected from September 8 to 21, 2022. SPSS/WIN 29.0 was used for analysis along with t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The study showed that the meaning of life was significantly correlated with the perception of death (r=.34, p<.001) and self-esteem (r=.31, p<.001). Self-esteem significantly moderated the relationship between the perception of death and the meaning of life (F=16.00, p<.001). Conclusion: Self-esteem may moderate the relationship between the two factors. This means that nurses with higher self-esteem have a greater tendency for their perception of death to positively impact their meaning of life. Therefore, for hospital nurses to discover the meaning of life, it is necessary to develop and apply a self-esteem enhancement program specialized for each clinical career.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of nurses' attitude toward death and their perception of hospice and palliative care on their terminal care stress in long-term care hospitals (LCHs). Methods: Participants included 127 nurses from 6 Incheon LCHs. Data were collected between July and August, 2020. Self-report questionnaires were administered to collect data on their general characteristics, terminal care stress, attitude toward death, and perception of hospice and palliative care. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple linear regression using the SPSS 23.0 statistical program. Results: Nurses' terminal care stress was affected by their attitude toward death (𝛽=.30, p<.001) and perception of hospice and palliative care (𝛽=.28, p=.002) with an explanatory power of 21.6%. Conclusion: Terminal care stress was significantly associated with their attitude toward death and perception of hospice and palliative care. Therefore, educating nurses in LCHs about death and hospice and palliative care is essential to manage their terminal care stress effectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of emotional intelligence and attitudes about death on hospice volunteers' perception of life as meaningful. Methods: In this study, 232 hospice volunteers who were serving at 3 university hospitals and 7 general hospitals for 6 months or longer. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from January 20 to February 15, 2016. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent-tests, one way ANOVAs, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analyses with SPSS 21.0. Results: Hospice volunteers' perception of life as meaningful was positively correlated with their attitudes toward death and emotional intelligence. The significant predictors of perception of meaning were emotional intelligence, attitudes toward death, religion and perceived health status. These variables explained 41.0% of the variance in hospice volunteers' perception of life as meaningful. Conclusion: These results suggest that hospice volunteers perceptions of life as meaningful can be changed positively by increasing emotional intelligence and positive attitudes about death.
