Research tool used to measure QOL was questionnaires developed by You-Ja, Ro in 1988. The data obtained was analyzed using the SAS program to compute a t-test, ANOVA, and Stepwise multiple regression. Results: The mean score of QOL was $3.65{\pm}0.39$. The QOL was significantly increased with perceived health status, satisfaction to the hospice volunteer activity, family response on volunteer activity, qualification as a hospice volunteer, and needs of education. Among six domains of QOL, self-esteem had the highest score. Conclusions: It would be necessary for hospice volunteers to provide an program considered health status, satisfaction to the hospice volunteer activity, family response on their activity, qualification as a hospice volunteer, and needs of education to increase their QOL.

This study was carried out to identify how a middle-aged woman's consciousness of the death and self-esteem was affected by whether the hospice volunteer's experience exist or not. As a form of descriptive research, this study, which is based on a structured questionnaire intended for the 191 middle aged women doing volunteer work at the non-profit women's organization, had been conducted twice from May 10, 2010, to May 21, 2010. The results of my research work is followed ; First, a middle-aged woman's consciousness of the death and self-esteem showed significant differences depending on whether the hospice volunteer's experience exist or not. Experienced hospice volunteer group showed a lower consciousness of the death and a higher self-esteem compared to non-experienced hospice volunteer group's case. Second, in case that the results show a high self-esteem, the consciousness of death reach at the low stage. Especially, the experienced hospice volunteer group showed an opposite correlation compared to non-experienced group. Third, Anyone's consciousness of death appeared at a low level when she had a religion and higher education background. Anyone's self-esteem oriented sense appeared at low level when she didn't have religion but rather appeared at high level when the health status of the targeted group was in a good shape. As a result, the hospice volunteer activities can be assumed to increase the middle-aged woman's self-esteem, therefore, turn the consciousness of death into a positive attitude.

목적: 본 연구는 호스피스자원봉사자가 지각한 자원봉사자 활동의 중요도 및 수행도를 파악하고자 수행되었다. 방법: 연구대상은 대구와 경북지역 소재 6개 종합병원의 호스피스 병동 및 호스피스 팀에서 활동하고 있는 자원봉사자 259명이다. 대상자가 지각한 자원봉사자 활동에 대한 중요도 및 수행도 조사를 위해 문헌고찰 및 호스피스자원봉사자 면담을 기초로 작성된 호스피스자원봉사자 활동 목록이 사용되었다. 자료수집 기간은 2007년 9월부터 10월까지였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 12.0을 이용하여 서술통계, T-test, One-way ANOVA와 사후검정으로 Scheffe test, Pearson's product-moment correlation 등으로 분석 하였다. 결과: 호스피스자원봉사자가 지각한 자원봉사활동 중요도의 평균은 3.09점, 수행도는 2.31점으로서 중요도에 비해 수행도가 상대적으로 낮았다. 대상자가 지각한 자원봉사자 활동의 중요도와 수행도에는 유의한 상관관계가 있었다(r=.487, P=.000). 대상자의 종교, 교육수준 및 자원봉사활동 기간에 따라 자원봉사자 활동에 대한 중요도 지각에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 대상자의 연령, 종교 및 자원봉사활동 기간에 따라 자원봉사활동 수행도에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결론: 호스피스자원봉사자가 지각한 자원봉사자 활동의 중요도는 높은 수준이었으나 수행도는 여기에 미치지 못하고 있었으며, 일부 자원봉사자의 특성이 호스피스자원봉사자 활동에 대한 중요도 지각과 수행도에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상과 같은 본 연구의 결과는 호스피스자원봉사자 교육 프로그램 개발 시에 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 뿐 아니라 자원봉사자에 대한 효율적 관리에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

목적: 인생의 말기는 삶을 영위하는 가운데 가장 중요한 부분 중의 한가지이다. 그런데 의사, 간호사를 포함한 의료진과 자원봉사자가 말기 환자에 대한 이해와 교육이 충분하게 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 호스피스 완화의료의 꽃으로 알려진 자원봉사자들에 대한 교육내용을 비교하고자 한다. 방법: 다양한 기관에서 자원봉사자들에 대한 교육이 실시하고 있으나 강의 내용과 강의 시수를 알 수 있는 전국 9개 기관의 교육내용을 분석 비교하였다. 결과: 평균 강의 시간은 21.56 ($14{\sim}30$)시간이었으며, 모든 기관에서 공통적으로 포함된 교육 내용은 호스피스 완화의료의 이해, 삶과 죽음에 대한 이해, 호스피스 대상자의 심리 이해 등이며, 온라인을 통한 교육이 1개 기관, 나머지 8개 기관에서는 집체교육을 통한 강의를 위주로 시행되고 있다. 결론: 자원봉사자들의 지역사회 참여의 활성화를 도모하여 말기 환자와 가족에게 제공되는 서비스를 질적으로 강화시키기 위하여 자원봉사자를 위한 교육과정의 목표와 교육내용, 교육시간, 교육기관으로서의 인정평가 등에 대한 전반적인 표준화가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to examine the present state, types of services, difficulties, education programs, motivation, satisfaction and attitude of hospice volunteers and also to suggest supporting programs for the volunteer. For these purposes, a questionnaire was distributed among the 200 hospice volunteers in ten hospice organizations in Daejeon and Chungcheong province. In this research, 85.5% of the respondents were women and most of them were housewives in their forties and fifties. The majority of hospice volunteers had an education background of more than high school. Christianity (94%) was the dominant religion of volunteers. Among the service area of the hospice, emotional caring, such as listening closely and establishing empathy were the most frequently done by the respondents and the next one was spiritual care. Hospice volunteers who had started with altruistic motivation show more dynamic activities in emotional, spiritual, physical caring and so on, than those with non-altruistic motivation. Most of the respondents expressed that they felt a hospice volunteer was valuable. However they had a hard time to overcome the sorrow coming from sharing empathy with the dying patients. Those who had started with altruistic motivation usually took part in two times per a week and had more positive attitude. Volunteers who had been working more than five years showed better attitude than those who had been working less than three years. The longer the voluntary services, the more positive attitude experienced by volunteers. Hospice volunteers encountered the most considerable difficulty with lack of background knowledge and their actual capability. Insufficiency of time was the next reason for the considerable difficulty of the hospice volunteer. On the other hand, those who served more than twice per week replied that lack of background knowledge and their capability were the least considerable difficulty. Insufficiency of time was the reason of difficulty for male volunteers, as well as for females under thirty and those in their forties and fifties respectively. Generally most of the hospice volunteers (70%) were satisfied with their services and they usually satisfied with physical caring, spiritual caring, hospice's family caring. The less difficulty in voluntary services, more satisfaction for the volunteers in the end. There is a positive correlation between a attitude of the hospice volunteer and frequency of voluntary services while the volunteers' difficulty affect negatively their attitude as well as the frequency of voluntary services. Most of the hospice volunteers want to have more education about basic skills, volunteer's attitude and role, spirituality, the way of attending on the hospice and so on. Most of them considered discussion and sharing different cases as the most effective method. They also wish to had more supporting programs for the hospice volunteers(in the order of their needs) such as regular events, newsletters, personal concern, social meetings among the volunteers, insurance and minimum expenses. Based on the study results, more programs should be run in order to activate the voluntary services regardless of their gender and education background. A continuous practical supporting policy and education programs are required in order to provide special education and training courses considering every field of voluntary services. Expanding the role of the volunteers allows them more opportunities to take part in voluntary services and th activate participation. It is necessary to establish a new hospice system as a part public medical system, which can not only facilitate the voluntary services for a hospice but also enhance professional hospice volunteers. Finally, experts are needed to operate the voluntary services effectively.
