Abstract

Purpose: This study was performed to explore factors that influence attitudes toward terminal care in nursing students. Methods: Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire filled by 175 nursing students at a university in a metropolitan city B. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Results: Attitudes toward terminal care in nursing students was significantly correlated with communication competence (r=0.438, P<0.001), spirituality (r=0.374, P<0.001), and gratitude (r=0.318, P<0.001). Communication competence explained 18.7% of the variance in attitudes toward terminal care. Conclusion: The study shows communication competence is an important factor for attitudes toward terminal care in nursing students. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a communication competence enhancement program to foster nursing students with appropriate attitudes toward terminal care.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 간호대학생의 임종간호 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하기 위함이다. 방법: 대상자는 B광역시에 소재하는 일 대학교에 재학 중인 간호대학생 175명이었으며, 자가보고식 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 자료는 SPSS/WIN 22.0을 이용하여 t 검정, ANOVA 및 피어슨 상관관계분석과 단계적 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 결과: 간호대학생과의 임종간호 태도는 의사소통능력(r=0.438, P<0.001), 영성(r=0.374, P<0.001), 감사성향(r=0.318, P<0.001)이 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 임종간호 태도에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인은 의사소통능력으로서 설명력은 18.7%였다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 의사소통능력이 간호대학생의 임종간호 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인임을 알 수 있었다. 추후 간호대학생의 임종간호 태도를 향상시키기 위해 의사소통능력을 강화하는 프로그램을 개발하는 것이 필요하다.
