Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the willingness of nursing college students to have respect for life and to use them as basic principle to help develop an effective bioethics education program for nursing students. A descriptive study was used with 442 nursing students. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Multiple regression. The result showed that factors affecting respect for life and will were meanings of death, death anxiety, death concern and these three variables explained about 43.6% of respect for life and will. It is necessary for nursing students to understand the meaning of death and to reduce death anxiety by improving understanding of meanings of death. It also suggests the need to develop an educational program that can improve the respect for life and will by establishing their own views on death and improving the involvement of death in nursing a dying patient and family.

이 연구의 목적은 간호대학생의 생명존중의지에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하고 간호대학생을 위한 효과적인 생명윤리 교육프로그램을 개발하는 데 도움이 되는 기초 자료로 활용하고자 하는 것이다. 442 명의 간호대학생을 대상으로 조사연구를 시행하였으며, 분석방법은 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Multiple regression을 이용하였다. 결과는 생명존중의지에 영향을 미치는 요소들이 죽음의 의미, 죽음의 불안, 죽음의 관여도라는 것을 보여 주었고, 이 세 요인의 생명존중의지에 대한 설명은 43.6%였다. 따라서 간호대학생들은 죽음의 의미에 대한 이해를 향상시켜 죽음의 의미를 이해하고, 죽음의 불안을 줄여야한다. 또한 긍정적 죽음의미 형성을 통해 간호학생의 생명존중의지 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이며, 궁극적으로 죽음을 맞이하는 환자에게 진정한 도움을 줄 수 있는 간호사로 성장할 것이라고 사료된다.
