Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among emotional intelligence, resilience to burnout, and meaning in life of hospice volunteers.
Methods: Data were collected through structured questionnaires from 200 hospice volunteers who were working at hospitals for six months or longer. Data were collected from March 7 to March 31, 2016, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS WIN 22.0.
Results: There was a statistically significant correlation between emotional intelligence, resilience to burnout and meaning in life. The significant predictors of hospice volunteers’ meaning in life were resilience to burnout(β=.47), emotional intelligence(β=.15), educational level(college, β=.11), religion(protestant, β=.12; buddhism, β=-.15), and motivation for neighborhood service(β=.16). These variables explained meaning in life up to 50.2%. Resilience to burnout was the greatest effective factor on meaning in life.
Conclusion: These results suggest a need to develop programs that improve hospice volunteers’ emotional intelligence and resilience to burnout. Also, educational level, religion, and service motivation of hospice volunteers should be considered.
