Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate
the hospice care compliance of nurses working at a
hospice ward and provide meaningful data to improve
the hospice care compliances. Methods: Participants
included 104 nurses working at the hospice
ward of the hospital located at P and D cities. Data
was collected from February to March 2012. The level
of hospice care compliance was measured using
Bae (2000)’s questionnaires. Data were analyzed with
descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA and
Scheffè test using SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results:
The level of hospice care compliance in hospice
nurses working at a hospice ward was high (3.25 out
of 4). In hospice care compliance, the physical area
was highest, followed by the emotional, spiritual, and
social areas. Hospice care compliance was significantly
different according to age, marital status, education,
religion, importance of religion, job position,
job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Hospice care
compliance was also significantly different according
to the nurses’ experience of death, having license or
certification related to hospice care and experiences
related to clients’ death. Conclusions: The findings of
this study showed that the level of hospice care compliance
was high and the hospice care compliance in
South Korea was primarily focused on physical care.
Considering that spiritual needs are important needs
in hospice clients, hospice nurses need to focus on
those aspects more. To improve the quality of hospice
care compliance in the hospice nurses, programs to
increase hospice nurses’ job and life satisfaction are
needed.
