Abstract

The aim of this study is to take hold of the present situation as well as the perspective of the domestic alcohol specialized hospitals. The structured questionnaire was prepared to understand the type of services, manpower and systematic programs. Among eight hospitals that stand for the alcohol addiction specialized hospitals, six hospitals agreed to participate in the survey, which was made from Jun. 17 to July 15, 2010. The average number of beds of the surveyed hospitals was 208. They were mostly private ones(66.7%), located in urban area(50%), and had experiences of alcohol treatment less than five years(50%). While all of them practiced both the inpatient and outpatient services, only 33% provided the systematic outpatient program that was at least 2 or 3 hours per week. All hospitals practiced the physical and individual psychological evaluations, but only 16.1% had the daytime programs. The beds of protective ward were 72% of all beds, and the beds of night and day occupied 7.6% and 2.6% respectively. It was found that although the average number of mental health social worker and mental health nurse was larger than that required in the regulation of mental health law there are significant deviations between hospitals. However, the manpower of psychiatrists and nurses were comparatively large. The first problem indicated by clinical experts was the patient's refusal of care, which results in an inefficiency in the treatment. The next problem was the lack of local health care institutions that can attend on the discharged patients were important issues. Also the low reimbursement and indifferences to the alcohol abuse were considered as important issues.

본 연구에서는 국내 알코올중독전문병원의 서비스 제공형태, 인력현황, 구조화된 알코올 프로그램 등의 현황과 향후의 경향성에 대해 조사하고자 국내 알코올중독전문병원임을 표방하는 총 8곳 중 조사에 동의한 6개 기관을 대상으로 2010년 6월 17일부터 7월 15일까지 구조화한 설문지 조사를 수행하였다. 응답한 알코올 중독전문병원의 운영 주체는 개인(공동)이 66.7%로 가장 많았으며, 소재지 별로는 대도시 지역에 위치한 기관이 50%로 가장 많았다. 알코올 환자를 전문적으로 치료해 온 기간은 5년 미만이 50.0%로 가장 많았으며 조사 대상 기관의 병상 수는 평균 208 병상이었다. 서비스 제공 형태는 모든 기관이 입원 외래치료를 함께 제공하고 있는 반면 주당 최소 2~3시간 정도의 구조화된 외래 치료서비스는 33.3%였다. 신체 개인 심리사정이 모든 기관에서 시행되고 있는 반면 낮 병원을 위한 프로그램은 16.1%였다. 보호병동 병상이 72.0%였으며 밤 병원 및 낮 병원 병상은 각각 7.6%, 2.6% 으로 낮았다. 정신 보건법 시행규칙 기준과 비교하면 정신보건사회복지사와 정신보건간호사는 비교적 높은 것으로 나타났으나 기관별 차이가 높음에 비하여 정신과전문의와 간호사의 인력현황 비율은 전체적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 임상전문가들이 느끼는 가장 큰 문제점으로는 알코올 의존증에 대한 환자의 치료 거부로 원활한 치료가 시작되지 않는다는 것과 퇴원 후 연계 가능한 지역사회정신보건 기관의 수가 부족하다는 의견이 높았고 다음으로 낮은 의료수가와 음주폐해에 대한 낮은 사회적 인식 문제가 제기되었다.
