| Summary: | 碩士 === 美和科技大學 === 健康照護研究所 === 104 === It has been more than 30 years ever since Hospice care was developed in Taiwan in 1983. From the past literature, the study finds that nursing staff are still currently lack of cognition of Hospice care, and knows the current situation and importance of the related education and training. Therefore, the study takes Cross-sectional research approach and quantitative structured questionnaire as the foundation. Using interval sampling of random sampling method, the study selects a total of 500 samples to carry out quantitative research in order to understand the current situation of nursing staff’s cognition of Hospice care, and the related factors affecting this situation.
The findings of the study are: (1) Although the samples generally have positive cognition of Hospice care, their cognition is considered insufficient; and among the samples, those at Hospital B are most obvious in this part. (2) The significant demographic variables affecting the samples’ cognition of Hospice care include the hospital and department they work at, their rank, post, educational background, religion, the number of hours of participation in Hospice care, whether they have experience in taking care of terminally ill (dying) patients, whether they have experience in taking care of the terminally ill patients having signed Do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order. (3) The samples’ “attitude level” and “behavioral intention” towards Hospice care are both affected by their “knowledge level” of Hospice care, and such “knowledge level” is affected by their different “demographic factors.”
Finally, according to the research results of different studies, the study suggests that the related authorities, when planning the related education and training, can refer to different current situations of different parent groups’ cognition of Hospice care and different demographic factors or needs so as to establish the most suitable and exclusive education and training model. In this way, the nursing staff’s cognition of Hospice care can be improved, and patients can be provided with higher quality “health care.”
