碩士 === 南華大學 === 生死學研究所 === 90 === This study involving 33 junior high school parent-dead students was mainly aimed at exploration of the influence of death educational program(DEP) upon death attitudes. The design referred to is based on pretest-posttest noncontrol-group quasi-experiment research, deviding the subjects into two types of cohorts as an experiment group (12) and a control group (21). In the process of studys, an instructional program relevant to death education was employed to observational subjects, including 10 hours of death educational instruction and 5 times of group counseling(an hour for each), which were sequenced behind each instructional class. An interview outline was specified for each session with an attempt to monitor the procedures and to function as feedback for the effects and satisfaction. On the other hand the matched control group did not take any death educational course, although they had make-up sessions for ethic reasons afterwards. In the long run, the two groups were examined for pretest, posttest and follow-up test by Death Attitude Profile-Revised scale(DAR-P), verificed by Mixed-designed two-way ANOVA, to clarify the effectiveness of death education program and the attitudes toward death between the two groups. Some findings involving this project are as follows: 1. DEP can lower fear of death(DAR-P) of the junior one parent-dead subjects and the effects may last for four weeks. 2. DEP can lower death avoidance(DAR-P) of the junior one parent-dead subjects,validating for four weeks. 3. DEP can enhance neutral acception(DAR-P), with a duration of four weeks. 4. DEP can enhance approach acception(DAR-P), similarly lasting significantly for four weeks. 5. DEP can lower escape acceptance(DAR-P), with the effects enduring for four weeks. 6. The feedback from the subjects indicates that the subjects get more aware of knowledge relevant to death and accordingly show more positive attitudes to living life when facing death. 7. Group interviews during which individual experience and ideas were fully shared made the members of the experiment group more adjustable, considerate and generous. Thus an interpersonal support network has been formed, favorably helping brainstorm, clarify and even alter the nature and concept of death. To sum up, this study addressed DEP might change the attitudes towards death of the experiment group and its effects might last for four weeks. The counseling feedback could change the attitudes towards death. Some suggestions were presented as references for practitioners and researchers to undertake further studies.
