Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the level of knowledge, attitude, and educational needs toward dementia, as well as to understand factors influencing educational needs for dementia among nursing students. A total of 213 nursing students at three universities in C province were invited to this study from September to November in 2015. Collected data were analyzed using an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. All analyses were conducted with SPSS 20.0 for Windows. The level of knowledge, attitude and educational needs for dementia were $12.33{\pm}4.54$ out of 20, $35.53{\pm}8.92$ out of 50 (Item mean 3.56), and $116.46{\pm}32.06$ out of 160 (Item mean 3.63), respectively. There were significant positive correlations between attitude and educational needs (r=0.79, p=<0.01). Moreover, the factors influencing educational needs for dementia in nursing students were attitude (${\beta}=0.73$, p<0.001) and grade (${\beta}=0.19$, p=0.001). Development of diverse educational programs for dementia based on this study can be a cornerstone to improve knowledge and attitudes toward dementia in nursing students. Developing nursing curriculum considering students' attitudes toward dementia and grade may also help increase knowledge of dementia.

간호대학생들의 치매 교육과 전문적인 접근은 졸업 후 치매전문간호인력으로 성장하기 위한 동력이 될 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 간호대학생들의 치매에 대한 지식과 태도, 교육요구도 정도를 조사하고 치매 교육요구도에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하는 것이다. 자료수집기간은 2015년 9~11월까지로 하였으며 연구대상자는 일 개 지역에 위치한 3개 간호대학에 재학 중인 213명이었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 20.0을 이용하여 independent t-test, one way ANOVA, Scheffe, Pearson's correlation coefficients, multiple regression 등으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 치매에 대한 지식, 태도, 교육요구도는 각각 $12.33{\pm}4.54$, $35.53{\pm}8.92$, $116.46{\pm}32.06$ 등 이었으며, 치매에 대한 태도와 교육요구도는 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다(r=.79, p=<.01). 간호대학생의 치매에 대한 교육요구도에 미치는 영향요인은 태도(${\beta}=0.73$, p<.001)와 학년(${\beta}=0.19$, p=.001)으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 한 다양한 치매교육프로그램 개발은 간호대학생의 치매에 대한 지식과 태도를 향상시키기 위한 초석이 될 수 있다. 간호대학생들의 치매에 대한 태도와 학년을 고려한 노인간호학 교육과정 개발 또한 치매에 대한 지식을 증진시키는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.
