Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship among dementia knowledge, attitude and care burden of nurses in center for dementia. A total of 101 nurses in center for dementia filled out the structure questionnaires. The data were analyzed using the t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. The mean score of dementia knowledge was $18.14{\pm}1.09$ out of 20, and the mean of dementia attitude, care burden were $153.07{\pm}.76$ out of $266, 8.01{\pm}7.09$ out of 64 respectively. There was a significant correlation between care burden and dementia attitude(r=.25, p<.05) and dementia knowledge(r=-.32, p<.001). The results suggest that it is necessary to provide continuos education and support to improve dementia knowledge and change dementia attitude positively of nurses in order to reduce care burden of nurses in center for dementia.

본 연구의 목적은 치매지원센터 간호사의 치매지식, 치매노인에 대한 태도, 간호부담감과의 관계를 분석하기 위함이다. 본 연구는 서술적 조사연구로 연구대상자는 서울시 25개 자치구의 치매지원센터에 근무하는 간호사 101명을 대상으로 하였으며, 구조화된 설문지로 자가설문조사를 수행하였다. 연구결과 치매지식은 20점 만점에서 평균 $18.14{\pm}1.09$점, 치매노인에 대한 태도는 266점 만점에 평균 $153.07{\pm}.76$점, 간호부담감은 64점 만점에 평균 $28.01{\pm}7.09$점이었다. 또한 치매지원센터 간호사의 치매지식이 높을수록 간호부담감이 낮았으며(r=-.32, p<.001), 치매노인에 대한 태도가 부정적일수록 간호부담감이 높았다(r=.25, p<.05). 추후 치매지원센터 간호사의 간호부담감을 줄이기 위해서는 치매지식을 높이고, 치매노인에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 바꿀 수 있는 지속적인 교육과 정책적 지원이 필요하다.
