Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The study purpose was to describe critical care nurses¡¯ attitudes toward hospice and palliative care and their related factors.
Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 175 critical care nurses who worked at a general hospital in Seoul participated via self-report survey. The Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale was used to measure their attitudes, and a palliative care quiz for nursing was used to measure their knowledge about hospice and palliative care. Results: Education level, duration of nursing employment, duration of critical care nursing employment, and knowledge about hospice and palliative care were significantly associated with nurses¡¯ attitudes. In the multiple regression analysis, education level, and duration of nursing employment were significant predictors of nurses¡¯ attitudes.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that education programs to improve nurses¡¯ knowledge about hospice and palliative care should be developed. These will help critical care nurses obtain a positive attitude toward hospice and palliative care.
