초록

본 연구의 목적은 메르스 환자 간호에 대한 간호사의 실제적인 경험을 파악하기 위함이다. 본 연구에 참여한 대상자는 S시 1개 상급종합병원에서 메르스 환자 간호에 참여한 간호사 9명이며, 자료 수집을 위해 심층 면담이 수행되었다. 자료수집 기간은 2015년 8월부터 2016년 3월까지였다. 수집된 자료는 Colaizzi의 현상학적 방법에 따라 절차에 맞게 분석하였다. 도출된 5개의 범주는 다음과 같다. '1. 신종 감염병 전염 위험성에 따른 불안과 부담', '2. 메르스 환자 간호사라는 이유로 느끼는 사회적 고립', '3. 준비되지 않은 치료환경 문제에 부딪힘', '4. 힘겨운 메르스 환자 간호과정을 이겨냄', '5. 신종 감염병 대책 마련에 대해 성찰함'이었다. 이와 같은 결과는 메르스 환자를 포함한 다양한 감염병 환자를 담당하는 간호사의 부정적 영향 뿐 아니라, 긍정적인 경험을 도출했다는데 의의가 있다. 이를 바탕으로 심리사회적 부정적 영향을 감소시키고, 긍정적인 적응을 향상시키는데 근거로 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 간호사를 포함한 보건의료 종사자가 신종 감염병 환자를 간호하기 위한 인력, 부서 및 실무지침 마련이 필요하다고 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the practical experience of nurses in MERS patients care. Nine nurses in one general hospital in S city underwent in-depth interviews from August 2015 to March 2016. The collected data were analyzed according to the procedure of the phenomenological method of Colaizzi. The following five categories were derived: '1. Anxiety and burden due to the risk of transmission of new infectious diseases', '2. Social isolation because of being the nurse in charge of MERS patients', '3. Faced with problems due to an unprepared treatment environment', '4. Overcome the burdensome MERS patient care process', '5. Reflect on the steps for preparing against new infectious diseases'. These results suggest that it is important to draw positive experiences as well as the negative effects of nurses who are involved in treatment of various infectious diseases, including MERS. Based on this, it can be used as a basis for reducing negative psychological and social impacts and improving positive adaptation. Additionally, it is necessary for healthcare workers including nurses to establish the necessary workforces, departments and guidelines for nursing new infectious disease patients.
