Abstract

This research was a descriptive study to investigate the effects of nursing students' biomedical ethics, and critical thinking on attitudes toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment. The Participant were 367 nursing students and date were collected from November until December of 2017. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 21.0. There was a significant positive correlation between attitudes toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment. Also, the influencing factor on attitudes toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment were biomedical ethics, academic grade, subjective health status, and personality types. These factors explained 36.6% of variance. In conclusion, the higher the awareness of biomedical ethics, the more positive attitude toward the withdrawal of lifelong treatment. Based on the results above, we need to develop diverse and systematic educational programs for nursing students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 생명의료윤리의식, 비판적 사고성향이 연명치료 중단에 대한 태도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 367명의 간호대학생을 대상으로 2017년 11월부터 12월까지 자료 수집하였으며, 자료 분석은 SPSS Win. 21.0 프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구결과, 연명치료 중단에 대한 태도와 생명의료윤리의식과 유의미한 정적 상관관계가 있었으며, 연명치료중단에 대하 태도에 생명의료윤리의식, 학년, 주관적인 건강상태, 성격으로 나타났으며, 이들 변수의 설명력은 36.6%이었다. 결론적으로 간호대학생의 연명치료 중단에 대한 긍정적 태도 형성을 위해 생명의료 윤리의식을 높일 수 있는 다양하고 체계적인 교육프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
