Abstract

This study is a preliminary survey to determine the desired demanding well-dying education requirements for subjects aged 65 years or older according to their family's death experience. The results of this study report that all subjects needed well-dying education regardless of their family's death experience. In addition, 71.8% of those who had experienced family deaths said they needed education. On the other hand, 40% of those with no family deaths said that education was needed. Both groups responded as needing well-dying education based on the meaning of death and value of life. Groups with family death experiences hoped to include 'how to overcome sadness related to the death of family and friends' and 'information about organ or body donation procedures'. Both groups responded that 1 week was appropriate for the duration of well-dying education, and that the lectures and discussions were appropriate for the education method. In the future, well-dying education will require sustainable education, not one-offs, and education for the family as well as the elderly.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 가족의 죽음 경험 유무에 따라 원하는 웰다잉 교육요구도를 알아보기 위한 예비조사, 서술연구이다. 본 연구 결과 가족의 죽음 경험 유무와 상관없이 모두 웰다잉 교육이 필요하다고 응답하였으며, 웰다잉 교육경험에 대해서는 가족의 죽음 경험이 있는 그룹이 71.8%, 없는 그룹이 40.0%로 나타났다. 또한 웰다잉 교육내용에 있어서 두 그룹 모두 '죽음의 의미와 삶의 가치'가 필요하다고 응답하였다. 이 외에 가족 죽음의 경험이 있는 그룹은 '가족 및 친구의 죽음 시 슬픔을 극복하는 방법', '장기 혹은 시신 기증 절차에 관한 정보' 가 교육내용에 포함되었으면 좋겠다는 의견이 있었으나, 가족 죽음 경험이 없는 그룹에서는 이와 관련된 교육내용에 대한 요구도는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 웰다잉 교육기간 또한 두 그룹 모두 1주일이 적절하다고 응답하였으며, 웰다잉 교육 방법에 있어서는 두 그룹 모두 강의 및 토의가 가장 높았다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 추후, 웰다잉 교육을 진행시에는 일회성이 아닌 지속가능한 교육이 필요하며, 노인 뿐 아니라 가족이 함께 참여할 수 있는 교육이 필요할 것이다.
