Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between death recognition, terminal care stress, terminal care performance, and other influencing factors of terminal care performance in terminal care hospital nurses. Two hundred forty nurses working in 11 hospitals for the elderly located in G, N, C city were surveyed. They were asked to complete three questionnaires: one on death recognition, one on terminal care stress, and a final one on terminal care performance. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise regression using SAS 9.1. The findings suggest that the nurses' own mental and occupational stress was the cause of many difficulties in the practice of end-of-life care, where the nurse will often experience the death patients, which results in increased dysentery stress. There was a negative correlation between species stress and terminal care performance. Death recognition and terminal care stress were correlated with terminal care performance. The results suggest that the longer the clinical experience, the higher the quality of terminal care performance. Therefore, it is suggested that terminal care should be performed considering the longevity of the careers career and their death tendency. Further to this study, it is necessary to find out how to reduce stress and to evaluate other variables affecting the care of the patient.

본 연구는 요양병원에 근무하는 간호사를 대상으로 죽음인식, 임종간호스트레스, 임종간호수행간의 관계를 파악하고 이를 기반으로 임종간호수행에 영향을 주는 주요 요인을 파악하기 위한 것이 궁극적인 목적이다. 본 연구는 전라남도 3개 도시에 위치한 요양병원간호사를 대상으로 연구를 수행하였으며, 조사도구는 죽음인식, 임종간호스트레스, 임종간호수행 설문지를 활용하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계를 수행하였으며, 변수간의 상관성을 분석하기 위하여 피어슨상관분석을 수행하였으며, 주요 영향인자를 분석하기 위한 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 통계분석은 SAS 9.1 ver.을 사용하였다. 간호사 자신의 정신적, 업무적 스트레스가 임종간호수행에 많은 어려움을 야기하고 간호사는 임종환자를 자주 경험하면서 임종간호스트레스가 높아진다. 죽음인식과 임종간호스트레스는 임종간호수행과 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 임종간호수행에 영향을 미치는 요인은 임종간호스트레스와 임상경력 이었다. 요양병원간호사의 임상경력이 많은 사람일수록 임종간호수행도가 높았으므로 임상경력을 고려한 임종간호수행이 이루어져야 하며, 임종간호수행에 있어 스트레스를 줄일 수 있는 방안과 임종간호수행에 영향을 주는 다른 요인을 심도 있게 파악하여 요양병원 실정에 맞는 임종간호수행 및 교육이 필요하다고 사료된다.
