Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify relationships between the awareness of well-dying, advance directives knowledge and attitude, according to patient's terminal care experience among nursing students. Participants were 321 nursing students, selected from 3 universities located in Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, Jeolla-do and data were collected using self-reported questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program, with descriptive statistics x2-test, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe' test, Pearson's correlation coefficient. There was a significant difference in advance directives attitude among nursing students with experience of patient's terminal care or no experience of patient's terminal care (t=3.011, p<.003). In addition, the awareness of well-dying (r=.194, p=.008) and advance directives knowledge (r=.201, p=.006) were positively correlated with advance directives attitude in nursing students with experience of patient's terminal care, whereas advance directives attitude was positively correlated with the awareness of well-dying (r=.189, p=.029) in nursing students with no experience of patient's terminal care. This study suggests that there is a need for the development of systematic education programs to improve a positive attitude toward advance directives and awareness of well-dying of nursing college students.

본 연구는 간호대학생을 대상으로 임종간호 관찰경험 여부에 따른 웰다잉에 대한 인식, 사전연명의료의향서 지식 및 태도와의 차이를 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구대상은 경기도, 충청도, 전라도 소재의 4년제 간호학과 대학생 321명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료수집을 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 25.0 program을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe' test, Pearson's correlation coefficient로 분석하였다. 연구결과 임상실습 중 임종간호 관찰경험이 있는 간호대학생이 관찰경험이 없는 학생보다 사전연명의료의향서에 대한 태도가 긍정적으로 나타났고 유의한 차이를 보였다(t=3.011, p<.003). 임종간호 관찰경험이 있는 간호대학생의 웰다잉에 대한 인식(r=.194, p=.008)과 사전연명의료의 향서 지식(r=.201, p=.006)은 사전연명의료의향서 태도와 정적 상관관계가 나타난 반면, 임종간호 관찰경험이 없는 간호대학생은 사전연명의료의향서 태도와 웰다잉에 대한 인식(r=.189, p=.029)에서만 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서 간호대학생의 좋은 죽음과 사전연명의료의향서에 대한 올바른 인식과 긍정적인 태도를 함양시키기 위한 체계적인 교육이 이루질 수 있도록 표준화된 교육프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
