Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting quality of life among family members of patients with terminal cancers hospitalized in hospice institutions.
Method: This study used a descriptive design. The participants were 142 families of patients with terminal cancers from 7 hospice institutions from 6 cities in Korea. Data collection was conducted from January 21 through July 31 of 2017 using self-reported questionnaires. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program.
Results: Quality of life was positively correlated with spiritual well-being (r=.49) and negatively correlated with burnout (r=-.59). Spiritual well-being was negatively correlated with burnout (r=-.49). Factors influencing the quality of life were burnout, perceived health status and spiritual well-being, which explained 44% of the variance.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that it is necessary to develop a nursing intervention program that can improve the quality of life of family members of terminal cancer patients considering burnout.
