Abstract

This study was a descriptive research study to identify of awareness about pandemic influenza, ethical awareness, and ethical decision-making in the situation of COVID-19 pandemic. The subjects were 194 nursing students in H and Y city. Data collected from May 1 to June 20, 2020 and analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 program. The subject's awareness about pandemic influenza was moderate, and ethical awareness and ethical decision-making were high. Ethics awareness and ethical decision-making levels were higher for those who had a history of infection with new type of infectious disease than those who did not. Awareness about pandemic influenza is positively correlated with ethical awareness(r=.291, p<.001) and ethical decision-making related to pandemic influenza(r=.143, p=.046), ethical awareness is a positive correlation with ethical decision-making(r=.274, p<.001). Based on result, propose the development of an educational program to make correct ethical decisions in the social disaster caused by infectious diseases for nursing students.

본 연구는 코로나-19로 인한 신종감염병 대유행 상황에서 간호대학생의 신종감염병에 대한 인식과 윤리 인식, 윤리적 의사결정 수준을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 H읍과 Y시의 간호대학생 3, 4학년 194명이며 2020년 5월 1일부터 6월 20일까지 자료를 수집, SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 연구대상자의 신종감염병에 대한 인식은 보통수준이며 윤리 인식과 윤리적 의사결정은 높은 수준이었다. 본인이나 가족의 신종감염병 감염경험이 있는 대상자가 그렇지 않은 대상자보다 윤리 인식과 윤리적 의사결정 수준이 더 높았다. 신종감염병에 대한 인식은 신종감염병 관련 윤리 인식(r=.291, p<.001), 윤리적 의사결정(r=.143, p=.046)과 양의 상관이 있고, 감염병 관련 윤리 인식은 윤리적 의사결정과 양의 상관(r=.274, p<.001)이 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 감염병 대유행 시 간호대학생들의 올바른 윤리적 의사결정을 돕기 위한 교육 프로그램 개발을 제안한다.
