Abstract

Objectives : In this study, the awareness of hospice and the perceptions on the need for visiting palliative care and what constitutes a good death of the citizens of Busan were investigated. The purpose of this study was to develop a hospice system based on the needs of the citizenry of Busan by seeking solutions for current hospice strategies. Methods : One thousand Busan citizens from 20 to 80 years of age were surveyed in this study. Results : Busan citizens defined a good death as spending less than one month of time in the actual process of dying at home between the ages of 80-89 years. They knew about hospice a little and were aware of its necessity. They also knew about the necessity of visiting palliative care and were interested in receiving it when appropriate but did not know much about it. Conclusions : First, there is a large difference between Busan citizens' expectations on what constitutes a good death and what a good death really is. Second, Hospice palliative care should be provided to the community. Third, the older the patient is, the more palliative care visits are necessary. Fourth, 40s and 50s must make preparations for hospice palliative care in their future.
