Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to find out the effects of hospice care in public health centers by evaluating the quality of life of terminal cancer patients and care-giver burden of their families.Methods: From January to December 2007, 32 terminal cancer patients and their familes were selected as with interviews. Instruments used for this study were C-QOL(Cancer-Quality of Life) that was developed by Le(207) and care-giver burden of families that was developed by Seo et al(193). The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage and paired t-test.

본 연구의 목적은 지역사회 호스피스서비스를 제공받는 말기 암 환자의 삶의 질, 주 돌봄자 부담감 측면에 초점을 맞추어 지역사회 호스피스서비스가 수요자의 필요 요구를 만족시키는지를 확인하기 위함이다. 2007년 1월부터 12월 사이에 3개월 이상 호스피스 간호서비스를 받았던 대상자와 이들을 돌보는 주 돌봄자를 대상으로, 지역사회 호스피스사업의 결과 대상자의 삶의 질과 주 돌봄자의 부담감에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다.본 연구결과 호스피스사업 전후 대상자의 삶의 질은 사전 평균값 1.70에서 사후 평균값 2.65로 유의(t=18.97, p=.000)하게 증가하였다. 또한 삶의 질 하위변수에서는 신체적 상태 사전 평균값 2.12에서 사후 2.37로, 유의(t=21.196, p=.000)하게 증가 하였고, 정서적 상태도 사전 2.18에서 사후 2.23으로 유의(t=1.803, p=.000)하게 증가 하였다. 사회적 상태는 사전 평균값 0.85에서 사후 3.30으로 유의(t=24.310, p=.00)하게 증가하였다. 대상자 주 돌봄자의 부담감은 호스피스 사업 사전에 평균값 3.06에서 사후에 평균값 2.67로 유의하게김인홍, 한영란 11(t=36.468, p=.00)감소 하였다. 그리고 말기암 환자들의 일반적 특성에 따른 호스피스서비스 후 삶의 질과 주 돌봄자의 일반적 특성에 따른 부담감은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다.이상의 결과는 지역사회를 중심으로 한 호스피스 사업의 효과성이 입증되어 앞으로 말기 암 환자 및 그들의 주 돌봄자를 위한 보건소 중심의 호스피스 사업의 확대 될 필요성을 시사 하는 바이다.
