Abstract

This study explored the experience of clinical nurses caring for foreign wives in Korea. A narrative study approach within the qualitative research paradigm was applied in this study. The data were collected using individual in-depth interviews with 10 clinical nurses who had at least 5 years working experiences caring for foreign wives and their children in the Women and Children's clinical setting. The narrative stories of the clinical nurses were analyzed in the frame of culture-bounded nursing care. In the culture-bounded nursing care, ethnocentric viewpoints, acceptable viewpoints, and culture-based viewpoints were identified within the time frame. Significantly, the narrator identified herself as a therapeutic caregiver in the culture-based viewpoints providing tailored caregiving for foreign wives. This study requires cultural sensitivity of nurses who care for the people with different cultural backgrounds. Self-awareness would be the starting point to reach culturally competent nursing care.

결혼이주를 통한 외국여성의 국내이주가 증가하면서 다양한 질병 및 출산으로 인한 의료기관 방문기회가 증가하고 있으며 의료관광 등 외국인 환자의 국내 의료기관 이용이 활발해 지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 외국인 환자의 증가에 발맞추어 여성전문병원 간호사를 대상으로 외국인 환자에 대한 인식과 돌봄 현황을 파악해 보고자 하였으며 세부적으로 임상현장에서 외국인 산모에게 돌봄을 제공하는 임상간호사의 경험을 파악해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 질적연구방법 중 서사연구 연구방법을 적용하여 다문화 환자 및 자녀를 돌본 경력이 5년 이상인 임상간호사 10명을 대상으로 심층 면담을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 외국인 환자를 돌본 임상간호사의 경험은 돌봄제공자의 시각에 따라 자민족중심 시각, 수용적 시각, 그리고 문화중심시각으로 나누어 각 시각에 따라 제공되는 간호의 질을 파악해내었다. 특히 타문화에 대한 존중 및 환자 맞춤형 돌봄이 제공되고 있는 경우 돌봄제공자는 스스로를 치료적 돌봄제공자로 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 의료현장에서는 타문화에 대한 민감성과 문화중심 돌봄의 필요성에 대한 자각과 교육이 지속적으로 강화되어질 필요가 있다.
