Abstract

|
Purpose : This study was to identify the effects of death attitude and self-efficacy on depression of intensive care unit nurses.
Methods : The data was collected for this study from 134 nurses in intensive care units of two tertiary general hospitals. The instruments were ‘View of Life and Death Scale’, Self-Efficacy Scale (SES), and Korean version of Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9). The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis.
Results : The results showed that depression was found significantly correlated with death concern (r＝.21, p＝.014), life respect will (r＝-.23, p＝.006) and self-efficacy(r＝-.24, p＝.004), indicating that the higher death concern and the lower the self-efficacy, the higher the depression of intensive care unit nurses. Affecting variables of depression were self-efficacy (β＝-.24), and death concern (β＝.20).
Conclusion : The findings had implications that the interventions to strengthen self-efficacy and attitude toward death are critically needed to prevent depression of intensive care unit nurses.
