Volunteers play a key role in hospice and palliative service. This study was performed to investigate the motivations of Korean hospice volunteers and to identify the predictors that affect their service period.
The accomplished questionnaire sheets of 93 subjects were included in the analysis. Inventory of Motivations for Hospice Palliative Care Volunteerism to measure the motivations of the hospice volunteers was used. The collected data were subjected to a statistical analysis of the mean and standard deviation, a -test, and multinomial logistic regression analysis.
The motivation score of the hospice volunteers in South Korea is 75.57 ± 10.97, and the top three in the motivation list were altruism, civic responsibility, and self-promotion. Among the subdomains, altruism, 1-4-year working experience ( = 0.79, standard error (SE) = 0.26, = 0.002, Exp (B) =0.45), and more than 10-year working experience ( = 1.00, SE = 0.30, = 0.001, Exp (B) =0.36) had statistically significant influences.
The finding of this study can be used as basic information for the recruitment and management of hospice volunteers in South Korea.
志愿者在临终关怀和姑息治疗服务中发挥着关键作用。本研究旨在调查韩国临终关怀志愿者的动机,并确定影响其服务期限的预测因素。
分析纳入了93名受试者填写完整的问卷。使用临终关怀姑息治疗志愿服务动机量表来测量临终关怀志愿者的动机。对收集到的数据进行均值和标准差的统计分析、t检验以及多项逻辑回归分析。
韩国临终关怀志愿者的动机得分是75.57±10.97,动机列表中排名前三的是利他主义、公民责任和自我提升。在子领域中,利他主义、1至4年工作经验(t=0.79,标准误(SE)=0.26,p=0.002,Exp(B)=0.45)以及超过10年工作经验(t=1.00,SE=0.30,p=0.001,Exp(B)= 0.36)具有统计学上的显著影响。
本研究结果可作为韩国临终关怀志愿者招募和管理的基础信息。
