본 연구는 노인요양병원 간호사 306명을 대상으로 영성과 임종간호태도간의 관계를 파악하여, 노인요양병원에서 임종간호의 질을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도된 서술적 상관관계 조사연구이다. 자료수집은 2013년 9월 3일부터 9월 30일까지 하였으며, 자료는 SPSS/WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, scheffe test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficent을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 영성의 차이는 종교, 종교중요성 인식, 임종간호교육경험, 직무만족, 삶의 만족에서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 임종간호태도 차이는 학력, 중교중요성 인식, 임종환자간호경험, 임종간호교육경험, 직무만족, 삶의 만족에서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 영성과 임종간호태도는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내어 영성정도가 높을수록 임종간호태도는 긍정적으로 나타났다. 임종간호태도를 긍정적으로 향상시키기 위해서는 영성을 강화할 수 있는 교육프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있다.
