Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the cultural sensitivity and stereotype about immigrant women among hospital nurses. Method: Data were collected using convenient sampling from Dec. 2012 to Mar. 2013. Subjects were 122 nurses who have worked at general hospital located in Chungchoeng area. Result: The mean age of subjects was 33.85 years old. Average working period was 8.28 years. 67.2% of subjects had have experiences to travel abroad, and most of them were short travel within 1 month. 94.3% of subjects had no experience of multi-cultural education and many subjects(73%) reported that multi-cultural education was needed. On the other hand, 88.5% of them met immigrant women at their work places. So nurses were confronted with foreign patients without proper education. Conclusion: It suggested that to prepare for the coming era of globalization, an educational programs that increase the cultural sensitivity of nurses should be developed.

본 연구는 종합병원 간호사의 문화적 민감성과 결혼이주여성에 대한 고정관념을 살펴보기 위해 시도되었다. 자료수집은 2012년 12월에서 2013년 2월까지 C도 2개 도시에 위치한 종합병원에서 간호사 122명을 편의표집 하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 대상자의 평균연령은 33.85(${\pm}8.21$)세, 평균 근무기간은 8.28(${\pm}6.66$)년이었다. 대상자의 67.2%가 외국방문경험이 있었지만 대부분(91.4%) 1개월 미만의 단기 여행이었다. 또한 대상자의 94.3%가 다문화관련 교육을 받은 적이 없고, 73%가 다문화관련 교육이 필요하다고 답하였다. 반면에 간호사의 88.5%가 근무 중에 외국인 환자를 만난 적이 있었다고 하여, 대다수의 간호사들이 다문화에 대한 교육을 받지 못한 상태에서 외국인 환자들을 간호해야 하는 상황에 접하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 국제화 시대에 대비하여 간호사의 다문화에 대한 민감성을 증진시킬 수 있는 교육이 개발되어야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.
