Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationship between death anxiety, knowledge, and attitudes toward advance directives in middle-aged patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Methods: Data were collected through a survey of 142 middle-aged adults from August 27th to October 4th, 2019 in G city. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe? test, and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: The average score of participants’ death anxiety and attitudes toward advance directives was 44.14±6.71 and 43.61±3.53, respectively, and the average correct rate in knowledge of advance directives was 57.1%. Participants showed significant differences in death anxiety (F=3.75, p=.013), knowledge of advance directives (F=3.02, p=.033), and attitudes toward advance directives (t=2.31, p=.022) depending on the presence or absence of an object to discuss their health status. Also, there were significant differences in knowledge of advance directives (t=3.43, p=.001) and attitude toward advance directives (t=2.23, p=.027) depending on whether participants perceived the meaning of advance directives. There were positive correlations (r=.38, p=<.001) between knowledge of advance directives and attitudes toward advance directives in middle-aged patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Conclusion: Active information-provision and promotional strategies are needed to enhance a correct understanding of advance directives for middle-aged acute myocardial infarction patients with a high probability of sudden death to recognize the need for an advance directive and reinforce a positive attitude.
