Do-Not-Resuscitate 결정의도 관련 연구경향: 텍스트 네트워크분석을 중심으로

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify a research trend of studies related to the Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) decision makingprocess in Korea. Methods: Assessing through five computerized databases, 889 studies were reviewed and of these 32 were included. An integrative literature review and text network analysis were applied to examine the research. The keywords from each article’sabstracts were extracted by using a program, KrKwic. Results: The number of studies on DNR decision has been increasing, especiallysince 2011. A descriptive study design (59%) was most commonly used in the research. In relation to factors affecting DNR decision,97% of the studies stated patient factors and 66% stated family factors. ‘Patient’, ‘DNR’, ‘decision’, ‘treatment’, ‘life’, ‘family’ were themajor keywords, and ‘patient’ and ‘care’ were dominant keywords that ranked high in coappearance frequency. Conclusion: Studiesrelated to DNR decision have been increasing, and themes of the studies have also been broader. Further research is required to investigatefactors affecting DNR decision in specific populations such as cancer patients, the elderly, patients with end-stage of chronic diseasesetc. Moreover, a comparative study is necessary to define differences of research trends related to DNR decision making processbetween Korea and other countries.
