Clinical Practice Satisfaction in the Department of Emergency Medical Service Students

응급구조과 학생의 임상실습 만족도

This study analysed Emergency Medical Technology(EMT) students' satisfaction in clinical practice. It was discovered that satisfaction was a means of 3.61(${\pm}0.70$) and the factor which had a significant influence on satisfaction was desired job area (F=3.98, p=0.004). The factors which were significant to satisfaction were practice beginning grade(t=0.43, p=0.038), period of practice(F=2.82, p=0.025), and departments(F=11.81, p=0.000) In respect to significant positive correlations between practice procedures and satisfaction, observation frequency (r=0.221, p=0.000) and practice frequency(r=0.170, p=0.002) had significantly positive correlations with satisfaction. Based on the results above, it is suggested that to enhance EMT students' satisfaction in clinical practice, students should have clear points of view on their job and practice beginning grade and practice period should be properly considered according to characteristics of students. Also, effective practice programs which carefully consider peculiarity of Emergency Medical Technology should be developed further.

이 연구는 임상실습을 경험한 응급구조과 학생들을 대상으로 임상실습 만족도를 조사하였다. 연구결과는 실습만족도 평균 3.61(${\pm}0.70$)이었으며, 일반적 특성에 따른 실습만족도에 유의한 항목은 희망취업분야(F=3.98, p=0.004)이었다. 실습실태에 따른 실습만족도에 유의한 항목은 실습시작학년(t=0.43, p=0.038), 실습기간(F=2.82, p=0.025), 담당부서(F=11.81, p=0.000)이었다. 임상실습 술기와 실습만족도와의 상관관계에서는 관찰횟수(r=0.221, p=0.000), 시행횟수(r=0.170, p=0.002)는 실습만족도와의 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 이상의 연구결과로 응급구조과 학생들의 임상실습 만족도를 향상시키기 위해서는 확고한 직업관을 가져야 할 것이며, 임상실습 시작학년과 실습기간을 응급구조과 학생의 특성에 맞게 고려해야 할 것이다. 또한 실습기관에서 실습을 담당하는 부서 역시 응급구조과라는 특수성을 고려해야 할 것이며, 실습만족도를 높이기 위한 실습프로그램 개발 연구가 필요할 것이다.
