Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore how nurses' attitude toward dignified death and moral sensitivity affect their end-of-life care performance. Methods: Study participants were 172 nurses who work at university hospitals in a metropolitan city in Korea. Data were collected from June 20 through August 13, 2012 using the Dignified Death Scale, Moral Sensitivity Scale, and End-of-Life Care Performance Scale. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 19.0 program. Results: Factors affecting nurses' end-of-life care performance included moral sensitivity, dignified death and education level. Conclusion: Moral sensitivity, dignified death and education level should be considered when developing an educational program for nurses' end-of-life care performance.

목적: 본 연구는 간호사의 품위 있는 죽음태도와 도덕적 민감성 정도가 임종간호수행에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하여 인간존엄성을 바탕으로 한 임종간호수행의 질적 수준 향상에 도움이 될 기초 자료를 제시하고자 시도되었다. 방법: 1개 도시의 3차 의료기관에서 근무하는 간호사를 대상으로 172명을 편의 표집 하였다. 구조화된 설문지에는 품위 있는 죽음, 도덕적 민감성, 임종간호수행을 포함하였다. 자료는 기술통계, 피어슨 상관계수 및 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 주요 결과로서 대상자의 임종간호수행에 영향을 미치는 요인은 도덕적 민감성, 품위 있는 죽음태도, 교육수준의 순으로 나타났다. 이는 간호사의 도덕적 민감성이 높고, 품위 있는 죽음 태도가 긍정적이며, 교육수준이 높을수록 임종간호수행 정도가 높다는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론: 본 연구 결과는 웰빙에서 웰다잉으로 사회적 관심이 옮아가는 시대적 요구에 비추어 볼 때, 임종간호수행의 질적 수준 향상을 위해서는 간호사의 품위 있는 죽음태도와 도덕적 민감성을 배양할 노력이 필요함을 시사한다. 또한 의료현장의 복합적인 의사결정 과정에서 간호사의 옹호자 역할 수행을 위해 의사-간호사간의 상호 역기능적 갈등을 조정하는데 필요한 효율적인 임종교육 프로그램 개발의 기초 자료가 될 것이다.
