Development and Evaluation of a Dignified Dying Scale for Korean Adults: Kae-Hwa Jo; J Korean Acad Nurs 2011;41(3):313-324. Published online June 13, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2011.41.3.313

Purpose

The study was done to develop a dignified dying scale for Korean adults.

Methods

The process included construction of a conceptual framework, generation of initial items, verification of content validity, selection of secondary items, preliminary study, and extraction of final items. The participants were 428 adults who lived in one of 3 Korean metropolitan cities: Seoul, Daegu, and Busan. Item analysis, factor analysis, criterion related validity, and internal consistency were used to analyze the data. Data collection was done from March to June 2010.

Results

Thirty items were selected for the final scale, and categorized into 5 factors explaining 54.5% of the total variance. The factors were labeled as maintaining emotional comfort (10 items), arranging social relationship (9 items), avoiding suffering (3 items), maintaining autonomous decision making (4 items), and role preservation (4 items). The scores for the scale were significantly correlated with personal meanings of death scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the 30 items was .92.

Conclusion

The above findings indicate that the dignified dying scale has a good validity and reliability when used with Korean adults.
