Abstract

This study was conducted to understand influential factors in determining the advance directive attitudes of elderly patients. Structured survey questionnaires were distributed using a convenience sampling method to the residents of long-term-care facilities. As a result, the attitudes toward advance directives were accounted having 2.84 points, the functions of a family with 2.73 points, and the level of self-efficacy with 3.45 points. Participants who have higher family functions were found to have negative attitudes toward self-efficacy, as the relationship between two variables were in the negative correlation (r =-.324, p<.01). However, participants who have higher self-efficacy showed positive attitudes toward advanced directives as the two variables were in the positive correlation (r =.340, p<.01). This study will contribute to the settlement of the AD in Korea.

본 연구는 노인환자의 사전의료의향서에 대한 태도를 결정하는데 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하기 위해 충남 소재 요양병원 5곳과 종합병원 1곳에 입원한 65세 이상의 노인 환자를 대상으로 조화된 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였다. 사전의료의향서에 대한 태도는 2.84점으로 평균이상 수준, 가족기능은 2.73점으로 평균 이하의 수준이었으며, 자기효능감은 3.45점으로 평균 이상의 수준이었다. 연구 결과, 가족기능이 좋을수록 사전의료의향서에 대한 태도가 부정적(r=.-.324, p<.01)이었으며, 자기효능감이 좋을수록 사전의료의향서에 대한 태도가 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다(r=.340, p<.01). 본 연구는 사전의료의향서가 국내에 정착하는데 기여할 것이다.
