Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the correlations between the knowledge of, attitudes toward, and service requirements for dementia among nursing students. A descriptive study design was used. The participants were 584 nursing students attending K university. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, the t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, and Pearson's correlation coefficients using the IBM SPSS 21.0 program. The mean score of dementia knowledge was low($15.86{\pm}4.58$). The area with the highest correct answer rate for dementia knowledge was life impact(64.2%) and the disease progression area(39.6%) was the lowest. The attitude toward dementia ($45.15{\pm}4.59$) and service requirements($89.88{\pm}9.38$) were relatively high. There were positive correlations between dementia knowledge and dementia attitude(r=.11, p=.008) and service requirements(r=.21, p<.001) and between dementia attitude and service requirements(r=.34, p<.001). Therefore, accurate knowledge of dementia was closely related to positive attitudes. In conclusion, this studyis expected to provide the basic data for the development, application and evaluation of dementia education programs for nursing students.

본 연구는 간호학생의 치매에 대한 지식, 태도 및 서비스 요구에 대해 조사하고, 이들 간의 관계를 파악하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 K대학에 재학중인 간호학생 584명이다. 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficient로 분석하였다. 연구결과 간호학생의 치매에 대한 지식 평균점수는 낮은 수준($15.86{\pm}4.58$)이었다. 치매 지식에 대한 정답률이 가장 높은 영역은 인지기능 저하로 인한 삶의 변화 영역(64.2%)이었고, 질병 진행과정 영역(39.6%)은 가장 낮게 나타났다. 치매에 대한 태도($45.15{\pm}4.59$) 및 서비스 요구 평균점수($89.88{\pm}9.38$)는 비교적 높게 나타났다. 치매에 대한 지식, 태도(r=.11, p=.008) 및 서비스 요구(r=.21, p<.001), 치매에 대한 태도와 서비스 요구(r=.34, p<.001)간은 모두 통계적으로 유의한 정적 상관관계가 있었다. 결론적으로, 치매에 대한 정확한 지식은 긍정적인 태도 함양과 밀접한 관계가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과는 간호학생을 위한 치매교육프로그램 개발 및 적용, 평가에 기초자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.
