Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the respect for life of nursing students and to prepare the basic data for developing educational programs to establish proper awareness of the life of nursing students and nurturing it. This is a descriptive research study. A total of 146 nursing students were included in this study. Data analysis was performed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. The results of this study confirmed the meaning of life, spiritual wellbeing, and attitude toward death as factors influencing respect and will for life. The explanatory power of these three factors was 26.3%. Therefore, nursing students will be able to cultivate respect for life by increasing their understanding of the meaning of life, improving their level of spiritual well-being, and reducing their negative attitudes about death. Also, in order to improve the respect for life of nursing students, it will be possible to develop an intervention program to improve life respect including the factors identified in this study. Ultimately, it is expected to grow into a nurse who can provide real help to patients who are at the end of life or who are dying.

본 연구의 목적은 간호대학생의 생명존중의지에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하여 예비 간호사인 간호대학생들의 삶에 대한 올바른 인식을 확립하고 생명존중의지를 함양시키기 위한 교육프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 실시한 서술적 조사연구이다. 총 146 명의 간호대학생을 대상으로 연구를 시행하였으며, 자료분석방법은 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Multiple regression을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 생명에 대한 존중과 의지에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 생의 의미, 영적 안녕감, 죽음에 대한 태도라는 것을 확인하였고, 이 세 요인의 설명력은 26.3%였다. 따라서 간호대학생들은 생의 의미에 대한 이해와 영적 안녕감 수준의 향상 그리고 죽음에 대한 태도 즉, 죽음 불안 수준을 감소시킴으로써 생명존중의지를 함양할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 이러한 요인들을 구체적인 중재 요소로 포함한 생명존중의지 향상 중재프로그램 개발하여 간호대학생들에게 시행한다며, 간호대학생의 생명존중의지 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이며, 궁극적으로 생의 말기에 있는 혹은 죽음을 맞이하는 환자에게 진정한 도움을 줄 수 있는 간호사로 성장할 것이라고 사료된다.
