Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to confirm the influence of hematoonchology unit nurses' positive psychological capital and death awareness on their terminal care performance. Methods: This descriptive study data were collected from self-reported questionnaire filled by 127 oncology nurses at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. The variables were positive psychological capital, death awareness, and terminal care performance. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0 software. Results: The participants scored $3.93{\pm}0.83$ on positive psychological capital, $3.68{\pm}0.99$ on death awareness and $2.86{\pm}0.65$ on terminal care performance. The three variables were positively correlated. The factors affecting the nurses' terminal care performance were hope and resilience in the subcategory of positive psychological capital and experience of death of family members, relatives or friends within the past year; The explanatory power was 32.1%. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop educational programs to foster hope, resilience, etc. in hematooncology unit nurses to improve their quality of terminal care performance.

목적: 본 연구는 혈액종양내과 병동에 근무하는 간호사를 대상으로 긍정심리자본과 죽음인식을 확인하고 임종간호 수행에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 임종간호 수행의 질적 수준 향상을 위한 근거자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 방법: 서울시에 소재한 일 상급종합병원에서 근무하는 혈액종양내과 병동에 근무하는 간호사 127명을 대상으로 자가보고 설문지를 통해 긍정심리자본, 죽음인식, 임종간호수행을 조사하였고, 기술 통계, 피어슨 상관관계 및 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 긍정심리자본과 죽음인식, 임종간호 수행 간에는 모두 양의 상관관계가 나타났다. 임종간호 수행에 미치는 영향요인은 긍정심리자본의 하위 영역 중 희망, 회복탄력성, 지난 1년 이내 가족, 친척 또는 친구의 죽음 경험이었으며 임종간호 수행에 대한 설명력은 32.1%로 나타났다. 결론: 혈액종양내과 병동에 근무하는 간호사의 임종간호 수행의 질적 수준 향상을 위하여 희망과 회복탄력성을 포함한 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
