Purpose: This study was performed to identify the level of Korean elderly's knowledge regarding concepts of end-of-life (EOL), Life-sustaining-treatment (LST), and advance directives (AD) which are critical aspects for establishing AD in Korean society. Methods: A questionnaire survey was done between October 2011 and February 2012. Knowledge of AD was evaluated with 3 aspects including EOL, LST, and AD utilizing a questionnaire that was developed by authors for the study. Data were collected from 268 community dwelling elderly from three cities and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and a Scheffe post hoc test with SAS Ver. 9.1 program. Results: Overall, Korean elderly were poorly acquainted with AD related concepts. Significant differences in awareness of AD including understanding of EOL, the level of comprehension of LST, and knowledge about AD were revealed by gender, education level, economic state, and acquaintance with terms of AD or LST. Conclusion: To acknowledge autonomy and support quality of life for elderly and to meet the purpose of AD, attention should be given to target populations including elderly in terms of knowledge level related to AD, social marketing, and infra structure relevant to practice AD in our society.

본 연구는 간호대학생들의 임종치료선호도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 이 조사 연구는 2017년 12월부터 2018년 2월까지 수행되었으며, 최종 217명의 간호대학생의 자료가 수집되었다. '자율적 의사결정' 선호도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 교육수준(학년), 생명의료윤리 교육 수강, 죽음에 대한 태도, 연명치료에 대한 태도였다. '의료인의 의사결정'에 대한 선호도는 종교를 가지는 것과 관련이 있었다. '영성'에 대한 선호도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 교육수준(학년), 종교를 가짐, 전공만족도였다. '통증 조절'에 대한 선호도는 교육수준(학년), 사망한 환자 관찰경험, 나쁜 주관적 건강상태, 죽음에 대한 태도, 연명치료에 대한 태도와 관련이 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 간호학 전공 커리큘럼에서 연명치료, 생애말기간호 및 생애말기 의사결정에 관한 교육이 필수적임을 시사한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in preference for terminal care between hospitalized patients and nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was used in 79 patients and 107 nurses. The data were collected from August to October 2011, using the Preference for Care near the End of life Scale - Korean Version (PCEOL-K) with 5-point scale of 26 items. The reliability of the tool was Cronbach's ${\alpha}=.74$. Results: The mean score (SD) of PCEOL-K's sub-dimensions in nurses' priority was: (a) pain $3.70{\pm}0.63$, (b) spirituality $3.63{\pm}0.61$, (c) family $3.40{\pm}0.70$, (d) autonomous decision making $2.30{\pm}0.66$, and (e) decision making by healthcare professionals $2.14{\pm}0.64$. In patients' priority, the $M{\pm}SD$ score of each sub-dimension was: (a) pain $3.86{\pm}0.65$, (b) family $3.83{\pm}0.57$, (c) decision making by healthcare professionals $3.37{\pm}0.85$, (d) spirituality $3.01{\pm}0.80$, and (e) autonomous decision making $2.43{\pm}0.63$. Results indicated significant differences between nurses and patients regarding decision making by healthcare professionals (t=-11.28, p<.001), family (t=-4.66, p<.001), and spirituality (t=5.71, p<.001). Conclusion: The PCEOL-K of patients was higher than nurses'. A terminal care program for hospitalized patients at the end of life should be planned according to the results of PCEOL-K in nurses and patients.
