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.

본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 죽음에 대한 태도, 영적안녕이 안락사에 대한 태도에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 시도되었다. 자료는 대학생 265명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료수집 하였고, SPSS WIN Version 23.0을 이용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 대학생의 죽음에 대한 태도, 영적안녕 및 안락사에 대한 태도의 정도는 각각 평균 2.75점, 3.69점 및 3.15점으로 나타났다. 대학생의 안락사에 대한 태도는 죽음에 대한 태도와 상관관계가 없었으며 영적안녕과는 음의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대학생의 안락사에 대한 태도에 미치는 영향요인은 영적안녕의 하위영역인 종교적 안녕으로 나타났으며 이 변인의 설명력은 12.7% 이었다. 이는 종교적 안녕이 높을수록 안락사에 대한 태도가 부정적임을 의미하며 대학생의 안락사에 대해 논의하기 위해서는 종교적 안녕을 고려해야 한다.

Purpose: This descriptive research was carried out to identify how high school students' attitude to death and their meaning of life were affected by hospice volunteering and death education. Methods: This study is based on a structured questionnaire designed for 180 high school students who were given death education while doing volunteer work at non-profit hospice hospitals and another 288 high school students not doing any hospice volunteer work. The collected data was processed by the SPSS 20.0 program and then analyzed by $x^2$ test, t-test and ANOVA test. Results: High school students' attitude to death and their meaning of life showed significant differences depending on whether or not they had volunteered at hospice hospitals. The group with hospice volunteering experience tended to be more negative about death and have a higher meaning of life compared to those without hospice volunteering experience. Students with proper hospice recognition made up 52.4%, those who expressed hopes to receive hospice-care themselves if necessary accounted for 70.5%, and those who said they would like to take care of their family members either at home or at a hospice center if any of them got incurably sick comprised 59.0%. Those who thought dignified death is to be with one's family or any other meaningful person were 47.6% and 18.5% of the students thought that 'thinking they had led a meaningful life' was the core of a dignified death. Conclusion: Given the above results, it became clear that hospice volunteering and death education can affect high school students' meaning of life and their attitudes toward death.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 좋은죽음인식, 호스피스인식, 임종간호태도의 정도와 세 변수간의 관계를 알아보고 임종간호태도에 미치는 영향 요인을 규명하여 간호대학생의 죽음에 대한 인식과 호스피스 간호, 임종간호 교육의 방향 설정에 기여하고자 설계된 조사연구이다. 대상자는 D시 소재 대학교 간호학과 재학생으로 임상실습에 참여한 경험이 있는 3, 4학년 학생 중 연구목적을 이해하고 자발적으로 연구에 참여한 대상자에게 2019년 5-6월 설문지를 배부하고 229부를 최종 분석하였다. 연구결과, 간호대학생의 좋은죽음인식, 호스피스인식, 임종간호태도 세 변수 간에는 통계적으로 유의미한 순상관관계가 있었다. 간호대학생의 임종간호태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석한 결과, 임종간호태도에 가장 큰 영향력을 미치는 변수는 호스피스인식이었으며, 호스피스인식과 좋은죽음인식의 회귀모형의 설명력은 39.3%였다. 따라서 예비 간호사인 간호대학생이 긍정적인 죽음인식과 임종간호태도를 갖게 하기 위해서는 호스피스와 좋은죽음에 대한 교육이 가능하도록 교육과정을 정비하는 노력이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

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.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing students' knowledge and attitude toward advance directives and factors influencing the attitude. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used and 196 nursing students participated in the study. Data were collected from July 1 to August 30, 2018 using a structured questionnaire which included biomedical ethics, awareness of good death, knowledge and attitude toward advance directives. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 25.0 program with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple regression. Results: The mean score of biomedical ethics, awareness of good death, knowledge and attitude toward advance directives were $2.88{\pm}0.59$, $3.18{\pm}0.48$, $7.68{\pm}31.32$, $31.00{\pm}3.09$. Factors influencing the attitude toward advance directives were awareness of good death (${\beta}=.28$, p<.001), intention of writing their advance directives (${\beta}=.19$, p=.006), the knowledge related to advance directives (${\beta}=.15$, p=.029). A total of 14% of attitude toward advance directives was explained by awareness of good death, the knowledge related to advance directives, and ntention of writing their advance directives. Conclusion: The findings of the study indicate that it is necessary to provide a systemic education program regarding advance directives for nursing students in order to provide knowledge related to advance directives and to help them establish positive attitudes toward advance directives.
