Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate death attitude, death anxiety, and knowledge toward advance directives of nursing students. Method: Participants were 157 nursing undergraduates in Korea. The students responded to a self-reporting questionnaire that included demographics, Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R), Revised Death Anxiety Scale (RDAS), and knowledge toward advance directives. The data collection period was December, 9-13, 2019. Data were analyzed by descriptive test, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient with SPSS/WIN 23.0. Results: The mean scores for death attitude, death anxiety, and knowledge toward advance directives were 2.70±0.58, 2.45±0.49, and 7.94±2.04, respectively. Knowledge toward advance directives was significantly different according to age, grade, and experience of end-of-life care education. Death attitude was significantly associated with death anxiety (r=. 27, p<.001). Conclusion: Knowledge toward advance directive was relatively low compared to the findings of previous studies. Therefore, nursing colleges need to include legal and institutional aspects when writing written letters on advance directive, death attitude, and ethical approaches to death anxiety.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationships between knowledge on advance directive, attitudes towards the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment and quality of life among hemodialysis patients. Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted with 103 hemodialysis patients. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from May to September of 2016, and analysed by using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The participants' knowledge level on advance directive was $5.47{\pm}2.08$ out of 9, the attitudes towards the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment was $3.22{\pm}0.49$ out of 5, and the quality of life was $3.35{\pm}0.92$ out of 6. The knowledge on advance directive was positively correlated with attitudes towards the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (r=.21, p=.037) and quality of life (r=.21, p=.036). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the level of knowledge on advance directive is preferred to improve the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. It is needed to support and maintain ongoing education opportunities in order to improve the level of knowledge on advance directive among patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Purpose : Nurses' knowledge regarding advance directives may affect their administration of and confidence towards end of life care. This study aimed to describe the relationships of knowledge, confidence, and learning needs with advance directives among hospital nurses. Method : This cross-sectional study was performed at a tertiary university hospital in Seoul between September 25 and October 14, 2017. Convenience sampling was used to recruit nurses who provided bedside care and had at least 1 year of clinical experience. We used a validated self-report questionnaire. Results : The mean score of knowledge, confidence and learning needs were $5.00{\pm}1.73$, $29.81{\pm}7.52$, and $64.54{\pm}8.48$ respectively. Hospital nurses' knowledge, confidence and learning needs were significantly different according to age, job position, educational level and perceived advance directives. Knowledge regarding advance directives was significantly associated with confidence (r = .27, p < .001) and learning needs (r = .16, p = .005). Conclusion : Knowledge regarding advance directives was relatively low compared to the findings of previous studies. Therefore, nurses should be knowledgeable and encouraged to initiate advance directives. It is necessary to develop a standardized educational program regarding advance directives based on Korean cultures.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 사전의료의향서에 대한 지식과 간호전문직관이 사전의료의향서에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위함이다. 본 연구의 참여자는 전라남도 2개 대학교에 재학 중인 간호대학생을 대상으로 하였으며, 최종 216부를 분석하였다. 다중 회귀분석 결과 사전의료의향서에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 사전의료의향서 작성여부, 종교가 삶에 미치는 영향, 사전의료의향서에 대한 지식, 성별, 간호전문직관, 사전의료의향서 작성 시기로 이들의 설명력은 22.3%(F=10.009, P=.000)이었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 간호대학생의 사전의료의향서에 대한 지식과 올바른 간호전문직관을 제공함으로써 사전의료의향서에 대한 긍정적인 태도 확립을 위한 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to promote awareness of the need for advance directives (ADs) and to provide baseline data for the development of a nurse training program about ADs. Methods: Nurses at eight long-term care hospitals in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province (N=143) were recruited using the random sampling method from December 2018 to January 2019. Data were obtained using a structured self-reported questionnaire to assess their knowledge, experience, and attitudes regarding ADs. Data were analyzed in SPSS 22.0 using descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean scores were 7.79±1.39 points for knowledge, 1.92±2.00 points for experience, and 2.80±0.24 points for attitudes regarding ADs. Knowledge and experience (r=0.32, P<0.001) had a positive correlation with knowledge and attitudes (r=0.17, P=0.39). Conclusion: According to the results, nurses generally had a high level of knowledge regarding ADs, which resulted in a positive attitude toward ADs. However, they had little experience with ADs. Therefore, nurses' must develop both direct and indirect experience with ADs using a practical training program to strengthen their clinical competency regarding ADs.

The creation of S&T knowledge and development of S&T- based innovation has spread worldwide from traditionally advanced countries to traditionally developing countries, often under the direction of governments. Korea is an exemplar in this new locus. Korea's burst in Science and Technology during the last three decades has made Korea a substantive player in the global production of S&T knowledge and its application to business. Although Korea still trails the US and other top countries in the quality of research, it has leaped from its 1980s standing as bit player in the knowledge economy to being among the leaders in the early 21st Century. This paper shows that Korea's advance benefited from its active participation in the global market in higher education, in international research collaborations, and its close ties to the U.S. Korea's experience offers lessons for other countries who seek to advance by becoming knowledge economies. Korea proves that a developing country can gain comparative advantage in knowledge production and use; that government policy can stimulate such a development; and that openness to the world of higher education and research is the best way to move forward and overcome the middle income trap.
