Abstract

This study is a descriptive correlational study aimed at identifying factors influencing nursing students' perception of a good death. The study participants were 143 nursing students who understood the purpose of the study and agreed to participate. Data collection and analysis were conducted using SPSS 25.0. The results showed that nursing students' perception of a good death had a statistically significant positive correlation with nursing professionalism (r = .461, p <.001) and attitudes toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (r = .305, p <.001). Factors influencing nursing students' perception of a good death included age (β = .320, p = .000), academic year (β = .325, p = .001), knowledge of advance directives (β = .155, p = .040), nursing professionalism (β = .356, p = .000), and attitudes toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (β = .231, p = .003). The explanatory power of these variables for the perception of a good death was 23.32%. Based on these findings, this study is expected to serve as foundational data for developing educational programs to enhance nursing students' perception of a good death.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 좋은 죽음 인식에 미치는 영향을 규명파악하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 연구 대상자는 간호학과 학생으로 중 연구 목적을 이해하고 참여에 동의한 143명을 대상으로 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 25.0 프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구결과 간호대학생의 좋은 죽음 인식은 간호전문직관 (r=.461, p<.001)과 연명의료중단 태도(r=.305, p<.001)에 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 간호대학생의 좋은 죽음 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령(β=.320, p=.000), 학년(β=.325, p=.001), 사전연명 의료의향서 지식(β=.155, p=.040), 간호전문직관(β=.356, p=.000)과 연명의료중단 태도(β=.231, p=.003) 간호전문직관(β=.41, p=.000), 연명의료중단 태도(β=.18, p=.000)이었으며, 이 변수들의 좋은 죽음 인식에 대한 설명력은 2332.5%였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 간호대학생의 좋은 죽음인식을 높이기 위한 교육 프로그램을 개발하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
