“…Preparation for one’s own death may not be a new concept for Koreans. Despite some reluctance to openly talk about death, there is a cultural tradition that Korean older adults prepare a funeral shroud or burial site for their own death because of a belief that someone who does such preparation could live longer (Jeon, Kim, & Yoo, 2015). This cultural tradition to prepare for one’s own death may be nicely incorporated into EOL education programs.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine factors affecting death attitudes among middle-aged Koreans. In addition, the study explored the interaction effect between knowledge about end-of-life care planning and the experience of death of family or friends on death attitudes. The sample was obtained from a national survey with middle-aged adults in South Korea (n = 2,026). Multivariate regression analysis revealed significant main effects and an interaction effect between knowledge about end-of-life care planning and the experience of death on death attitudes. Greater knowledge of end-of-life care planning was associated with more positive attitudes toward death; however, the effect was stronger for those who had not experienced the death of family or friends. Being older and having greater life satisfaction were also associated with more positive attitudes toward death. This study suggests that end-of-life education can help middle-aged adults embrace the final stage of life and prepare for their own death.
