Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting the stress of End-of-life care in long-term care hospitals and to identify perception and education requirement of End-of-life care. The subjects of this study were 163 nurses who had worked at seven long-term care hospitals in Gyeongsangnam-do for more than six months and had more than one end-of-life care experience. They agreed to participate in the study using structured questionnaires from May 27 to June 7, 2021. As a result of this study, the most influential factor for the terminal care stress of the nurses in the long-term care hospitals is the education needs of End-of-life care(β=.25, p=.001). The following factors have been identified death anxiety (β=.21, p=.005), satisfaction with the End-of-life care environment (β=.17, p=.017), and End-of-life care perception(β=-.15, p=.040). Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to meet the educational needs of the End-of-life care for the nurses in the long-term care hospitals in order to relieve their stress. For this, it is necessary to develop and apply educational programs for End-of-life care.

본 연구의 목적은 요양병원간호사를 대상으로 임종간호스트레스에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고 임종간호에 대한 인지 및 교육요구도를 확인하고자 함이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 경상남도에 위치하고 있는 7개 요양병원에서 6개월 이상 근무하고 임종간호 경험이 한 번 이상 있으며 연구의 목적을 이해하고 연구 참여에 동의한 간호사 163명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였다. 본 연구 결과 요양병원간호사의 임종간호스트레스에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 임종간호교육 요구도(β=.25, p=.001)이었으며, 다음으로 죽음불안(β=.21, p=.005), 임종간호환경 만족여부(β=.17, p=.017), 임종간호 인지정도(β= .15, p=.040)로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 요양병원간호사의 임종간호스트레스를 완화시키기 위해서는 요양병원간호사의 임종간호에 대한 교육요구도가 충족되는 것이 필요하며 이를 위해 임종간호교육프로그램 개발과 적용이 필요할 것이다.
