초록

본 연구의 목적은 종교가 ‘연명의료’ 치료중단결정에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 기획되었다. 구체적으로는 분석모형에 사회·인구학적 배경변인과 죽음에 대한 태도를 포함시켰으며, 무종교인을 기준으로 종교유형별 참석정도와 믿음정도가 ‘연명의료’ 치료중단결정에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해 『한국종합사회조사 2013』표본을 활용하였으며 이항로지스틱모형을 사용하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사회·인구학적 배경변수에서 높은 가구소득과 교육수준만이 ‘연명의료’ 치료중단결정에 찬성할 가능성이 높았다. 또한 죽음에 대한 태도가 높을수록 ‘연명의료’ 치료중단결정에 찬성할 가능성이 높았다. 둘째, 무종교인을 기준으로 종교유형별 참석 정도와 믿음 정도가 ‘연명의료’ 치료중단결정에 미치는 영향에서는 무종교인에 비해 참석빈도가 높은 천주교 신봉자가 ‘연명의료’ 치료중단결정에 반대할 가능성이 높았다. 그리고 무종교인에 비해 믿음정도가 다소 강하거나 강한 천주교 신봉자와 다소 강한 개신교 신봉자가 ‘연명의료’ 치료중단결정에 반대할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ‘연명의료’ 치료중단결정에 반대 입장을 보이고 있는 천주교 교계에 입장이 신봉자에게도 전이되었음을 확인하였으며 이러한 결과는 강한 종교성을 지닌 천주교 신봉자와 개신교 신봉자의 경우에는 인간의 죽음에 신이 아닌 인간이 개입하는 것에 있어서 반대하고 있음을 예측할 수 있다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of religion on the decision to suspend the treatment of "life-prolonging medical care". More specifically, the analysis model included social and anthropological background variables and attitudes toward death, and empirically analyzed the impact of the degree of attendance and belief by religious type on the decision to discontinue "life-prolonging medical care" treatment based on non-religious people. It used the 『Korean General Social Survey 2013』 sample and a binomial logistic model was used. The analysis results are as follows. First, in social and anthropological background variables, only high household income and education levels were likely to agree to a "life-prolonging medical care" discontinuation. The higher the attitude toward death, the more likely it was to agree to a "life-prolonging medical care" discontinuation. Second, Catholic believers, who are more frequently present than non-religious, were more likely to oppose the decision to discontinue the treatment of "life-prolonging medical care" in the influence of the degree of attendance and the degree of belief by religious type on the decision of discontinuation of the treatment of "life-prolonging medical care". And Catholics and Protestants, who are more or less religious than non-religious, are more likely to oppose the decision to suspend "life-prolonging medical care". In this study, we confirmed that the Catholic Church, which has a conservative attitude toward halting the treatment of "life-prolonging medical care" had moved to a believer, and the results showed that in the case of religious believers and Protestants, we were opposed to human intervention in the death of humans, not gods.
