The purpose of this experimental study was to examine the values of a death education program developed to improve life satisfaction and attitude toward death in college students.
The death education program was developed and then used with 22 college students for 5 weeks, once a week for 150 min. Before and after the intervention, students responded a questionnaire developed to measure life satisfaction and attitude toward death. t-test, chi2-test, and paired t-test with the SPSS program were used to analyze the data.
The death education program significantly improved life satisfaction but had no statistically significant effect on attitude toward death. There was a significant difference in life satisfaction between the experimental and control groups but not in attitude toward death.
Based on the above results, it is apparent that the death education program has an affirmative effect on life satisfaction in college students and some impact on attitude toward death. We suggest, therefore, that the death education program should be used with all human beings to help them recognize the values of themselves and their current lives and improve their satisfaction with life.
本实验研究旨在检验为提高大学生生活满意度和对死亡的态度而开发的死亡教育项目的价值。
开发了死亡教育项目，然后对22名大学生进行了为期5周的干预，每周一次，每次150分钟。在干预前后，学生们回答了一份为测量生活满意度和对死亡的态度而编制的问卷。使用SPSS程序进行t检验、卡方检验和配对t检验来分析数据。
死亡教育项目显著提高了生活满意度，但对死亡态度没有统计学上的显著影响。实验组和对照组在生活满意度上存在显著差异，但在对死亡的态度上没有差异。
基于上述结果，很明显死亡教育项目对大学生的生活满意度有积极影响，对死亡态度也有一定影响。因此，我们建议对所有人都采用死亡教育项目，以帮助他们认识到自己和当前生活的价值，提高生活满意度。
