This study was carried out to identify how a middle-aged woman’s consciousness of the death and self-esteem was affected by whether the hospice volunteer’s experience exist or not. As a form of descriptive research, this study, which is based on a structured questionnaire intended for the 191 middle aged women doing volunteer work at the non-profit women’s organization, had been conducted twice from May 10, 2010, to May 21, 2010. The results of my research work is followed ; First, a middle-aged woman’s consciousness of the death and self-esteem showed significant differences depending on whether the hospice volunteer’s experience exist or not. Experienced hospice volunteer group showed a lower consciousness of the death and a higher self-esteem compared to non-experienced hospice volunteer group’s case. Second, in case that the results show a high self-esteem, the consciousness of death reach at the low stage. Especially, the experienced hospice volunteer group showed an opposite correlation compared to non-experienced group. Third, Anyone’s consciousness of death appeared at a low level when she had a religion and higher education background. Anyone’s self-esteem oriented sense appeared at low level when she didn’t have religion but rather appeared at high level when the health status of the targeted group was in a good shape. As a result, the hospice volunteer activities can be assumed to increase the middle-aged woman’s self-esteem, therefore, turn the consciousness of death into a positive attitude.
