This study attempted to examine the influence of resilience, life satisfaction, and psychological well-being on attitude to death.
A predictive correlational design was used. The participants were 184 nursing students from three universities of Korea. They responded to a self-report questionnaire, with items on demographics, resilience, life satisfaction, psychological well-being, and attitude to death.
The mean score for attitude to death was 2.77±0.39 (range, 1-4), and a significant difference was observed depending on age, grade, and death-related education. Attitude to death was positively correlated with death-related education, resilience, life satisfaction, and psychological well-being. Results of the hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that death-related education and psychological well-being were significant predictors of attitude to death, explaining 26.6% of the latter. The most important factor was psychological well-being.
Although death-related education and psychological well-being are two of the most influential factors among nursing students, no more than 30.4% of this study's participants received death-related education. Death-related education is necessary to help nursing students so that they can cope positively with stressful situations by finding positive meaning. It is necessary to develop a systematic curriculum so that these students can establish a positive attitude to death.
本研究试图探讨心理韧性、生活满意度和心理健康对死亡态度的影响。
采用预测性相关设计。参与者为来自韩国三所大学的184名护理专业学生。他们对一份自填式问卷进行了回答，问卷内容包括人口统计学、心理韧性、生活满意度、心理健康和死亡态度等项目。
死亡态度的平均得分为2.77±0.39（范围为1 - 4），根据年龄、年级和死亡相关教育情况观察到显著差异。死亡态度与死亡相关教育、心理韧性、生活满意度和心理健康呈正相关。分层多元回归分析结果表明，死亡相关教育和心理健康是死亡态度的显著预测因素，解释了后者的26.6%。最重要的因素是心理健康。
尽管死亡相关教育和心理健康是护理专业学生中最具影响力的两个因素，但本研究中不超过30.4%的参与者接受过死亡相关教育。死亡相关教育对于帮助护理专业学生通过寻找积极意义来积极应对压力情况是必要的。有必要制定系统的课程，以便这些学生能够建立对死亡的积极态度。
