Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of death in paramedic student. The results of this study will help develop education program for death orientation, paramedic students education and practice. Methods : A total of 201 paramedic students filled out the questionnaire. The perception of death was examined using questionnaires designed for examining Death Orientation. The data were analyzed with SPSS 18.0 statistics program for frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, cronbach alpha coefficient, factor analysis. cronbach alpha coefficient was .866. Results : The paramedic students' got a score of $2.35({\pm}.48)$ on the Orientation on death as average. The reason is that death is not yet pressing them at all and ahead of their lives they have many days to live. With respect to the Death Orientation, significant differences was found in experience of death(t=2.318, p=.021). Group of death experience was higher than group of no death experience. In view of the attitude on afterlife, students responded no afterlife(24.9%), unknown after death(22.4%). Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that paramedic curriculum should include education program on death and improve quality of prehospital care. Additional studies are needed to establish death education for paramedic.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a death preparation education program for nurses working in convalescent hospitals on death anxiety, death attitudes, and attitudes toward end-of-life care. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group, pre-test and post-test design. Among 53 participants, 26 were assigned to the non-equivalent experimental group and 27 to the control group. The program was performed in the formats of lectures, video-watching, group discussions, and sharing, and consisted of 10 sessions held twice a week, for 5 weeks (90 minutes per session). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, and the chisquare test in SPSS version 21.0. Results: Significant differences between the experimental and control groups were observed in death anxiety (t=7.62, P<0.001), death attitudes (t=-7.58, P<0.001), and attitudes to end-of-life care (t=-10.30, P<0.001). Conclusion: It was confirmed that the death preparation education program reduced death anxiety and had a positive effect on death attitudes and attitudes toward end-of-life care. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that specialized and systematic education that can increase the implementation and stability of death preparation education in various fields, including nursing, will have a positive effect on both hospice patients and members of society more broadly.

본 연구는 '노인을 위한 죽음준비교육'의 효과를 검정하기 위한 연구이다. 노인은 인간발달단계로 볼 때 죽음을 가장 가까이 접하고 있는데, 죽음에 대한 태도는 긍정적 혹은 부정적으로 복합적일 수 있다. 노인이 죽음에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 가지게 되면 그들의 삶의 질이 좋아지고 편안한 죽음을 맞이할 수 있다고 보는 견해가 지배적이다. 이에 본 연구는 10주간의 죽음준비교육 프로그램을 주 1회 100분씩 60세 이상의 노인 38명에게 실시하여 노인의 죽음에 대한 태도와 우울에 대해 긍정적인 변화를 검정하고자 하였다. 교육은 2기에 걸쳐 실시하였다. 1기 22명의 노인에게는 2008년 1월 16일 부터 3월 26일까지, 2기 16명의 노인에게는 2008년 4월 16일부터 6월 18일까지 교육을 실시했다. 10주간 이루어진 강의주제는 "죽음준비교육의 필요성, 존엄한 죽음을 위한 3가지 대안, 죽음 끝이 아니다(I, II), 호스피스(I, II), 죽음의 9가지 유형(I, II, III), 죽음을 알면 자살하지 않는다."이다. 죽음준비교육을 실시한 다음 죽음에 대한 태도와 우울 점수를 교육 실시 전 점수와 t-test로 검정한 결과, 교육실시 이후에는 실시 이전보다 노인의 죽음에 대한 태도가 유의미하게 긍정적으로 변화하였다. 우울 정도의 점수는 감소하였으나 그 감소는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 또한 노인대상자의 죽음준비교육 실시 이전과 실시 이후에 죽음태도와 우울간의 상관관계는 Pearson correlation coefficients로 분석한 결과, 교육 실시 이전과 실시 이후 모두 강한 역 상관관계를 보여 죽음태도가 긍정적일수록 우울정도가 낮았다. 그러나 교육 전·후 우울 정도와 상관관계의 변화는 없었다. 그러므로 본 연구는 노인계층 대상으로 일정기간 동안 규칙적으로 죽음준비교육프로그램을 실시할 수 있다면, 죽음에 대한 노인들의 태도를 긍정적으로 변화시킬 수 있음을 입증하였다. 아울러 지금까지 국내에서 체계적으로 이루어지지 못하고 있는 노인을 위한 죽음준비교육 프로그램 개발과 활용 기반을 확장하는데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose : The current study objective was to determine the attitudes of nursing students to death, perception of end-of life care, and perceptions of educational training needs in relation to the provision of end-of life care, and to apply the results to the development of an efficient and effective education program in this regard. Method : Data collection was carried out between March and April 2017, and was achieved through the administration of a questionnaire to 124 caregivers working in a nursing home in C. A self-report instrument was used to measure nursing attitudes to death, perceptions of end-of-life care, and perceptions of educational training needs in relation to the provision of end-of-life care. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS(R) Statistics for Windows(R)(version 21.0), and were calculated was whole numbers, percentages, $mean{\pm}standard$ deviation, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results : The average scores obtained were 2.85 out of a maximum of 4.00, 2.14 out of 4.00, and 2.42 out of 4.00, for attitudes to death, perceptions of end-of-life, and perceptions of educational training needs in relation to the provision of end-of-life care, respectively. A positive correlation was found between attitudes to death and perceptions of end-of-life care, and a negative correlation was found between perceptions of end-of-life care and educational training needs in relation to the provision of end-of-life care. Conclusion : The development and implementation of an educational program is necessary to ensure positive attitudes to death in nursing students and improve their perceptions about end-of-life care. Further research is also warranted to determine the impact of such a program in this regard.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the level of subjective health status, religiosity and the fear of death of the elderly and to identify the relationships among them. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study using a questionnaire. Fear of Death Scale that was made by Loo & Shea (1996) and translated and revised by Kim(2003) was used to measure the fear of death. The data was analyzed using SPSS. Results: The subject was 128 community dwelling elders who had a religion. Of the respondents, 50% felt 'not healthy', and 69.5% was moderately religious. The mean score of FODS was 3.18 (out of 5). The mean score of each subcategory of FODS was as follows: Death anxiety about the death of self was 3.00. Death anxiety about the dying of self was 3.18. Death anxiety about the death of others was 3.31 and death anxiety about the dying of others was 3.23. There was a statistically significance correlation between the level of religiosity and FODS (F=3.29, p= .040). Conclusion: Health professionals may make efforts to learn about healthy attitudes toward death and aid for the elderly and to comfort them. Death education programs are needed for the elderly.

The aim of this study was to identify the attitude of nursing students' toward death using Q-methodology and to obtain baseline data to improve nursing students' education program on death. Twenty-nine participants at a college classified 40 Q-statements on a one to nine scale. The resultant Q-sort was a matrix representing the participant's operant subjectivity on the issue under consideration. The results of above procedures were analyzed by PQ Method. The results revealed that there are three types of perception about nursing students' attitudes toward the death. The categories were labeled positive-perspective, pain-avoid and preparation-deficiency. Positive-perspective individuals have a positive sense of their life and death. Thus, they would not fear death, believing in an after-life world, while being positive towards donation of intestines after death. Pain-avoid individuals hope life and death without pain. Preparation-deficiency individuals are unprepared to die. In conclusion, this study discovers three types of the perception about nursing students' attitudes toward the perception of death. By identifying the nature of each of these types, this study can be useful to develop efficient strategies for education program on death.
