Abstract

This study investigated hospital EMT' scope of work perceived by emergency medical service providers by surveying 122 emergency medical service providers working at university hospitals in Daejeon and Chung-nam in order to provide basic materials for improving EMT' roles and legal regulations related to their works and enhancing the quality of emergency medical services. According to the results of this study was $3.23{\pm}0.67$ for the 40 items surveyed, which was somewhat higher than average. By area, job awareness was highest for trauma care, which was followed by hospital phase and breathing assistance, and lowest for medication. In order for emergency medical service providers to recognize hospital EMT' works, first of all, EMT need to carry out their jobs and roles faithfully. Therefore, educational institutions should provide substantial education programs. What is more, legally clear definitions should be made on the job of EMT, and campaigns and monitoring should be made continuously for EMT.

본 연구는 대전,충남 소재 대학병원에 근무하는 응급의료종사자 122명을 대상으로 병원 내 응급구조사를 조사하여 응급구조사의 역할과 법적 업무규정의 현실적 제고 및 병원 내 응급구조사의 업무에 관한 인식을 보다 명확히 하기 위한 기초자료를 제공 하고자 연구를 실시하였다. 연구 대상자들의 병원 내 응급구조사의 업무인식을 살펴본 결과, 전체 40문항에 대해 $3.23{\pm}0.67$점으로 나타나 병원 내 응급구조사에 대한 업무인식정도는 중간 보다 다소 높은 것으로 나타났다. 영역별로는 외상처치가 가장 높게 나타났으며, 약물투여가 가장 낮았다. 응급의료종사자가 응급구조사의 업무를 바르게 인식하게 하기 위해서는 응급구조사가 고유 업무와 역할을 충실히 해 낼 수 있어야 할 것이다. 그러므로 보다 명확한 교육과정이 이루어져야 하며 보다 명확한 업무가 법적으로 규정되어져야 한다. 응급구조사에 대한 홍보와 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
