Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify changes of recognition to death before and after observation on the cadaver dissection to paramedical students. This study was done on 472 freshmen using questionnaire survey. Recognition to death questionnaire was consisted of 36 items. Data were collected before and after observation on the cadaver dissection with agreement of subjects. The data were analyzed using SPSS win 24.0. This study showed that recognition to death was significantly increased after observation on the cadaver dissection (3.19 points) than before observation on the cadaver dissection (3.06 points) (p=.000). Especially, anxiety on death was significantly increased (p=.000), and interest in death was significantly increased, too (p=.000). The results of this study suggest that we need positively to encourage observation on the cadaver dissection for paramedical students with providing program to decrease anxiety on death because of not only improving anatomy knowledge but also increasing recognition to death.

본 연구는 해부용시신을 이용한 참관 해부실습 전과 후에 보건의료계열 학생들의 죽음에 대한 인식 변화를 파악하여 죽음에 대한 바른 인식과 이해를 고취하도록 하는 데 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도하였다. 연구대상은 보건의료계열 1학년 학생 472명이었으며, 죽음에 대한 인식은 36문항으로 구성된 설문 도구를 사용하여 5점 척도로 측정하였다. 자료 수집은 2017년 4월 5일부터 6월 18일까지 실시하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS win 24.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, 독립 t 검정, ANOVA, 짝비교 t 검정을 시행하였다. 연구결과, 참관 해부실습 전에는 직계가족 중 환자가 있는 경우(p=.016), 사망자를 직접 본 경우(p=.021)에 죽음에 대한 인식이 유의하게 높았다. 참관 해부실습 후에는 본인의 건강상태가 좋은 경우(p=.036), 직계가족 중 환자가 있는 경우(p=.010), 사망자를 직접 본 경우(p=.011)에 죽음에 대한 인식이 유의하게 높았다. 죽음에 대한 인식은 전체적으로 참관 해부실습 전(3.06점)보다 후(3.19점)에 유의하게 죽음에 대한 인식 수준이 높아진 것으로 나타났다(p=.000). 특히 죽음에 대한 불안은 참관 해부실습 후 유의하게 증가하였고(p=.000), 죽음에 관한 관심 역시 참관 해부실습 후 유의하게 높아졌다(p=.000). 따라서 죽음에 대한 불안을 완화할 수 있는 중재프로그램이 동반된다면, 해부용시신을 이용한 참관 해부실습은 해부학적 지식을 향상하는 데 매우 도움이 될 뿐만 아니라 죽음에 대한 인식 수준을 높이는 데도 도움을 주는 경험이 될 수 있어 적극적으로 장려할 필요가 있을 것이다.
