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 purpose of this study was to classify the subjectivity type toward death among college students and to understand the characteristics of attitudes and orientations toward death of each type. Since attitudes and orientations toward death is very subjective and unique, Q-methodology was employed in this study. Q-methodology explains the respondent's subjectivity by objectifying his subjectivity for himself. The P-sample consisted of 63 students of K university in D city. Forty statements concerning attitudes and orientations toward death, which developed by Yeun(1999) were utilized for Q-sample. Forty Q-statements were sorted according to the level of agreement or disagreement by forced normal distribution. The Q-sorts by each subjects were coded and analysed with the PC-QUANL program. Five types of subjectivity toward death were identified and labeled. Type 1 'the death- preparation' think frequently about his own death and talk openly about the problem of death with a positive attitude. Type 2 'the life-esteemed' respect the dignity of life most of all. Type 3 'the realty-oriented' do not believe the afterlife and is very concerned about the present life itself instead of thinking about death. Type 4 'the ambivalent' think importantly the aspect of present life and orient the afterlife at the same time. This type reveals opposite attitude of preparing and scaring the death at the same time. Type 5 'the destiny-recipient' attribute death to the destiny and deny suicide. On the basis of this result, the studies about applying and developing educational program on death and hospice care for nurses who care terminal cancer patients and families are needed.

본 연구는 간호윤리교육이 간호대학생의 영적 안녕, 죽음에 대한 태도와 호스피스 완화간호에 대한 인식에 미치는 영향을 탐색하기 위한 단일군 사전·사후설계 연구이다. 일개 대학 간호학과 3학년 학생 42명을 대상으로 총 6주간 30시간의 간호윤리교육을 실시하였고 교육 전과 후에 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, Paired t-test로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 간호윤리교육은 간호대학생의 영적 안녕, 죽음에 대한 태도, 호스피스 완화간호에 통계적으로 유의한 변화를 가져오지는 못하였다. 그러나 한 가지 흥미로운 점은 본 연구의 결과와 마찬가지로 선행연구에서 실시된 다양한 교육 프로그램 또한 죽음에 대한 태도에 유의한 변화를 가져오지는 못했다는 것이다. 따라서 간호대학생이 죽음에 대한 긍정적 태도를 형성할 수 있도록 돕는 교육 프로그램의 개발 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
