Abstract

Purpose: This study was to investigate the relationships between spiritual well-being, attitude towards death and perception of hospice, and the factors influencing hospice perception of high school students. Methods: A survey was conducted with 229 students in four high schools in B city from May 1, 2015 through May 31, 2015. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, stepwise multiple regression using the SPSS 18.0 program. This study was approved by the internal review board. Results: The factors influencing hospice perception of the high school students were previous recognition of hospice (${\beta}=0.412$, P<0.001), attitude towards death preparation among sub-variables of attitude towards death (${\beta}=-0.244$, P<0.001), subjective school life satisfaction (${\beta}=-0.215$, P<0.001), and sex (${\beta}=0.191$, P<0.001). The more positive the attitude towards my body after death and that towards death preparation was, the more positive recognition for hospice was. The total explanatory power of these factors was 34.5%. Conclusion: To improve high school students' perception of hospice, it is necessary to provide them with a hospice education program to help them with their attitudes towards death preparation and their understanding of hospice.

목적: 본 연구는 고등학생을 대상으로 영적안녕, 죽음에 대한 태도, 호스피스 인식 간의 상관관계를 파악하고, 호스피스 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하고자 한다. 방법: 대상자는 B 광역시에 소재한 고등학교인 실업계(남자, 여자) 2곳, 인문계(남자, 여자) 2곳에 재학 중인 1, 2학년 학생 229명이었고, 자료수집 기간은 2015년 5월 1일부터 동년 5월 31일까지였다. 자료는 SPSS Win 18.0 program을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearsion correlation coefficients, Stepwise multiple regression으로 데이터를 분석하였다. 결과: 고등학생의 호스피스 인식은 성별(t=-3.377, P=0.001), 주관적 건강상태(t=3.334, P=0.001), 주관적 학교생활만족도(t=3.233, P=0.001), 부직업(t=2.393, P=0.018), 호스피스 사전인지경험(t=-7.181, P<0.001), 호스피스, 죽음 관련 교육경험(t=-2.120, P=0.035)에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 사후 내 몸에 대한 태도와 죽음준비에 대한 태도가 긍정적일수록 호스피스 인식에 대한 태도가 긍정적이었다. 호스피스 인식에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인은 호스피스 사전 인지 경험, 죽음준비에 대한 태도, 주관적 학교생활 만족도, 성별로 총 설명력은 34.5%였다. 결론: 고등학생의 호스피스 인식을 증진하기 위해서는 죽음준비에 대한 태도와 호스피스에 대한 인지를 높여줄 수 있는 좋은 죽음 및 호스피스 교육프로그램 개발과 시행이 필요하다고 본다.
