Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the changes to nursing activities of nurses on patients with DNR (Do-Not-Resuscitate) order and factors associated to the changes. Methods: Data were collected using a structured questionnaire for 173 nurses at general hospitals. Logistic regression analysis was performed on the data using SAS 9.4. Results: With 39 nursing activities, an average of 60.4 (34.9%) nurses reported an increase in the activities, 102.4 (59.2%) no change and 10.1 (5.9%) a drop. The activity increase was the greatest in the social area, and the physical area was where the activities decreased the most. The activity increase was associated knowledge competency (9 items), attitudes (2 items), practical competency (4 items) and work load (14 items were). Conclusion: To offer systematical care for DNR patients, it is necessary to expand nurses' knowledge through end-of-life education and adjust their workload and provide a support system at the department level.

목적: 본 연구는 DNR이 결정된 후 간호활동이 어떻게 변화하는지를 파악하고 각 활동별 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하고자 시도되었다. 방법: 대상자는 200병상 이상 종합병원 간호사 173명이었으며, 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였고, SAS 9.4 프로그램을 이용하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과: 39개 항목의 간호활동이 증가한 간호사의 수는 평균 60.4명(34.9%), 유지는 102.4명(59.2%), 감소는 10.1명(5.9%)이었다. 활동감소가 가장 많이 나타난 영역은 신체적 영역이 12.6명(7.3%)이고, 영적 영역이 10.8명(6.3%)이었다. 항목별 활동이 가장 많이 감소한 항목은 전체 39개 중 '얼굴세안과 부분목욕 간호를 시행한다(19.7%)'였다. 간호사의 지식, 태도, 실천역량, 업무량과 업무 속도가 각 간호활동 증가여부에 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보면 간호사의 지식역량은 전체 39개 항목 중 9개, 태도역량은 2개, 실천역량은 4개, 업무량은 14개, 업무속도는 1개 항목에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: DNR 환자에 대한 간호를 강화하기 위해서는 DNR 간호활동에 대한 업무지침을 구체화하고, 이에 대한 실무교육을 통해 간호사의 지식역량을 증진시키며, 간호사의 활동을 뒷받침할 수 있는 부서의 지원체계와 업무량 조정 등이 필요하다.
