Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among dementia care knowledge, attitudes toward to dementia and approach to dementia care of nurses. The participants were 202 nurses in G hospital of P city. The mean score of dementia care knowledge was 11.02, attitude toward dementia was 40.15 and approach to dementia care was 7.90. The dementia care knowledge was significant difference for sex(t=-2.424, P<.05), education level(F=2.932, P<.05) and work unit(F=2.268, P<.05). The dementia care knowledge was positively correlated with attitude toward to dementia(r=.162,P<.05 ). The predictors of dementia care knowledge were Emergence Room(${\beta}=-1.568$, p<.05) and Intensive Care Unit(${\beta}=-1.682$, p<.05). The result suggest that it is necessary to develop convergence education program to improve dementia care knowledge and attitudes toward to dementia to give high quality nursing care for patients with dementia.

본 연구는 간호사의 치매케어 관련 지식, 치매에 대한 태도 및 치매간호 접근법에 대해 조사하고 관련 변수를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. P시에 소재한 G 병원의 남 녀 간호사 202명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 치매케어 관련 지식은 11.02점, 치매에 대한 태도는 40.15점이었으며 치매간호 접근법은 7.90점이었다. 치매케어 관련 지식은 성별(t=-2.424, p<.05)과 교육수준(F=2.932, p<.05) 그리고 근무병동(F=2.268, p<.05)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 치매케어 관련 지식은 치매에 대한 태도와 유의한 양의 상관관계(r=.162, p<.05)가 있었으며, 치매케어 관련 지식에 영향을 미치는 변수는 응급실(${\beta}=-1.568$)과 중환자실(${\beta}=-1.682$)이었다. 본 연구결과 치매환자에게 질 높은 간호를 제공하기 위해서는 치매케어 지식의 향상과 치매에 대한 긍정적인 태도를 향상시키기 위한 융복합적인 교육프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.
