본 연구는 보건계열 대학생들의 죽음인식 태도와 관련 요인을 조사하여 죽음의 태도에 대한 기초자료로 활용하고자, 2015년 12월 1일부터 30일까지 G지역 대학생 314명을 대상으로 조사하였다. 분석결과 죽음인식 수준은 2.04점으로 보통수준이며, 평균점수는 고통불안 2.49점, 죽음불안 1.95점, 내세불안 1.86점으로 나타났다. 죽음인식 하위영역은 연령, 학년, 건강상태, 생활정도에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 고통불안, 죽음불안, 내세불안은 각각 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 여성은 죽음불안과 내세불안에 영향을 미치며, 2학년은 고통불안과 내세불안, 건강상태는 고통불안, 생활정도는 고통불안, 죽음불안, 내세불안에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 죽음이 현실과는 멀게만 느껴져 죽음에 대한 두려움이 크지 않았다. 그러나 죽음에 대한 올바른 인식은 보다 평화로운 죽음으로 이끌 수 있으며, 현재의 삶을 더욱 보람되게 살 수 있다. 죽음과는 거리가 먼 대학생들에게도 의미 있는 삶을 살아갈 수 있도록 죽음 준비교육이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
