Abstract
Objectives This study aims to develop a distance education-based caring responsibility improvement program for carers and verify its effectiveness.
 Methods In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the components of the program were extracted and configured by referring to previous studies, and the final draft was confirmed through validity verification through related experts. 11 items were selected as program content elements to improve caring responsibility: recognizing, participating, sharing, listening, accompanying, praising, comforting, inspiring hope, forgiveness, acceptance, and empathy. To verify the effectiveness of the program, an experimental group (16 people) and a control group (16 people) were formed, and a t-test was conducted on the pre- and post-test evaluation scales to compare between groups and between groups. In addition, group chat rooms, practice assignments, and reflection diaries were used to promote the effectiveness of the program and exchanges and participation among participants, and non-face-to-face methods such as remote education and video conferences were used to be used even in a pandemic situation.
 Results The main results of this study are as follows. First, the content and composition of the educational program for caregivers, which was composed through domestic and foreign precedent studies and theory books, were appropriate. As a result of the scale evaluation conducted before and after the program implementation, the caring responsibility-related scales, life-respecting consciousness, life-respecting behavior, and empathy, improved significantly, but personality showed no significant change. In addition, as a result of comparison between the experimental group and the control group, there was no significant difference in all items in the pre-test, but in the post-test, the scores of the experimental group improved in all items, and the difference was significant.
 Conclusions Through this study, specific contents and efficient methods for improving care responsibility for caregivers were suggested.
