Abstract

This study was a descriptive study to investigate the factors influencing on attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment of nursing students' consciousness of biomedical ethics, good death recognition and meaning of life. The subjects of this study were 293 nursing students attending college at P city. Data were collected for two weeks from May 1, 2018 to May 11, 2018. The statistical method was performed with SPSS WIN 22.0 using a complex sampling analysis, pearson's correlation coefficients, and a multiple regression analysis. The result of this study was significant positive correlation between attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment and consciousness of biomedical ethics(r=.266, p<.001), good death recognition(r=.373, p<.001), meaning of life(r=.122, p=.037). The meaning of life was significant positive correlation consciousness of biomedical ethics(r=.294, p<.001), good death recognition(r=.230, p<.001). The good death recognition was significant positive correlation consciousness of biomedical ethics(r=.306, p<.001). Factors Influencing on the attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment was good death recognition(${\beta}=.32$, p<.001) and consciousness of biomedical ethics(${\beta}=.16$, p=.004). These factors explained about 16% of the variance. Therefore it is necessary to develop an educational program to positively raise the attitude of consciousness of biomedical ethics and good death recognition.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 생명의료 윤리의식, 좋은 죽음 인식, 삶의 의미에 대한 태도가 연명치료 중단에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 P시에 있는 1개의 간호학과 재학생 293명을 대상으로 2018년 5월 01일부터 5월 11일까지 2주간 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 22.0의 빈도와 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, Pearson's correlation coefficients, multiple regression을 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과 연명치료 중단에 대한 태도는 생명의료 윤리의식(r=.266, p<.001), 좋은 죽음 인식(r=.373, p<.001), 삶의 의미(r=.122, p=.037)와 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 삶의 의미는 생명의료 윤리의식(r=.294, p<.001), 좋은 죽음 인식(r=.230, p<.001)과 양의 상관관계를 나타냈으며, 좋은 죽음 인식은 생명의료 윤리의식(r=.306, p<.001)과 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 연명치료 중단에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 유의한 요인은 생명의료 윤리의식(${\beta}=.16$, p=.004), 좋은 죽음 인식(${\beta}=.32$, p<.001)으로 나타났으며, 이러한 요인들은 연명치료 중단에 대한 태도를 16.0% 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 간호대학생들의 연명치료 중단에 대한 태도의 변화를 위해서는 생명의료 윤리의식과 좋은 죽음 인식에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 높이기 위한 교육 프로그램을 개발하는 것이 필요하고, 다양한 영향요인을 탐색하기 위한 반복적 연구가 요구된다고 생각된다.
