본 연구에서는 일반 대학생을 대상으로 청년기 사생관의 전체적 구조를 밝히기 위한 도구를 개발하고자 하였다. 즉, 자살, 임신중절, 장기기증 등의 청년기와 관련이 깊은 생명윤리문제에 대한 태도는 죽음에 대한 태도와 그 배경에 있는 내세관의 영향을 받아 형성될 것이라는 가정 하에 이들 사이의 구조적 관계를 밝혀 현상을 이해하기 위한 하나의 종합적인 모형을 구축하기 위해 우선 선행 연구들에 대한 검토 결과를 토대로 하여 종합적인 새로운 사생관 척도 제작을 시도하고 신뢰도와 타당도를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해, 내세관 특성(내세지향성, 현세회귀성), 죽음의 의미(해방, 자연, 집대성, 좌절, 충격, 허무), 죽음불안, 죽음관여도(죽음수용, 죽음관심), 생명존중의지(자살억제의지, 중절억제의지, 장기기증의도) 등의 개념적 정의 및 조작적 정의를 재정립하였다. 이로써 개인이 가지고 있는 사생관을 전체적으로 이해할 수 있게 되었으며 사생관의 내부구조를 밝힐 수 있는 도구가 마련된 것이다. 또한 그 동안 일부 요소(예컨대 죽음불안, 죽음관여도 등)와의 관계만이 연구가 가능했던 정신건강이나 심리적 적응 및 심리 사회적 발달과 죽음에 대한 태도의 관계를 사생관 전반에 걸쳐서 보다 체계적으로 검토할 수 있게 되었다.

이 연구의 목적은 간호대학생의 생명존중의지에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하고 간호대학생을 위한 효과적인 생명윤리 교육프로그램을 개발하는 데 도움이 되는 기초 자료로 활용하고자 하는 것이다. 442 명의 간호대학생을 대상으로 조사연구를 시행하였으며, 분석방법은 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Multiple regression을 이용하였다. 결과는 생명존중의지에 영향을 미치는 요소들이 죽음의 의미, 죽음의 불안, 죽음의 관여도라는 것을 보여 주었고, 이 세 요인의 생명존중의지에 대한 설명은 43.6%였다. 따라서 간호대학생들은 죽음의 의미에 대한 이해를 향상시켜 죽음의 의미를 이해하고, 죽음의 불안을 줄여야한다. 또한 긍정적 죽음의미 형성을 통해 간호학생의 생명존중의지 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이며, 궁극적으로 죽음을 맞이하는 환자에게 진정한 도움을 줄 수 있는 간호사로 성장할 것이라고 사료된다.
