Abstract

The current study was conducted to make pre-post comparisons of education done for 119 emergency medical technicians (EMT) on the patient assessment performance. The data are expected to offer applicable training methods and educational resources for emergency medical services. Twenty six EMT from four cities and provinces participated in the study, which was carried out from 14 to 17 December, 2015. The technicians performed a patient assessment and marked reports on simulated patients. In the course of the assessment, a pre-post evaluation of education was done using a checklist regarding the respective symptoms, such as headache, chest pain, and dyspnea. The median value (quartile value) was used as the descriptive analysis. While patient assessment scores marked 66 points (54.00-80.25) out of 100 (p<0.01) before education, there was a significant increase in the after-education scores, which reached 88.5 points (80.00-93.00). The patient assessment performances revealed a significant increase (p<.0.01) in 5 chest pain, 7 headache, and 9 dyspnea items after education. Similarly, there was an increase in wanting to meet the EMT again scale in regards to categories involved in developing positive relations with patients. Moreover, the adequacy in the patient condition reports all marked a significant increase (p<0.01) in assessment categories. The present study shows that education based on simulation practices are necessary for improvements in patient assessment performance of 119 EMT. Therefore, practical and systematic patient assessment educations may serve as a prerequisite. Further opportunities should be provided for the EMT consistently.

본 연구는 119구급대원을 대상으로 환자평가 수행도에 대한 교육 전 후를 비교함으로써, 구급대원을 대상으로 한 적절한 교육방법 및 기초자료를 제시하기 위해 진행하였다. 전국 4개 시 도 119구급대원 26명을 대상으로 하였으며, 연구는 2015년 12월 14일부터 17일까지 시행하였다. 구급대원이 직접 모의환자를 대상으로 환자평가 및 보고를 시행하도록 하였고, 환자평가를 진행하는 동안 각각의 증상(두통, 가슴통증, 호흡곤란)에 대한 체크리스트(checklist)를 사용하여 교육 전 후를 평가하였다. 연구 결과는 중앙값(사분위값)으로 기술 분석하였고, 교육 전 환자평가 수행도는 100점 만점에 66점(54.00-80.25)이었으나 교육 후 88.5점(80.00-93.00)으로 유의한 상승을 보였다(p<0.001). 환자평가 수행도 중 가슴통증 증례 5개의 항목, 두통 증례 7개의 항목, 호흡곤란의 증례 9개의 항목에서 교육 후에 유의한 증가를 보였고, 환자와의 관계형성에서는 구급대원을 다시 만나고 싶은 정도의 평가점수가 유의한 상승을 보였다(p<0.01). 또한 환자상태 보고 적절성의 모든 평가항목은 교육 후 수행도가 유의하게 상승하였다(p<0.01). 본 연구의 결과는 시뮬레이션 실습에 의한 교육이 119구급대원들의 환자평가 수행도 개선에 필요하다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 119구급대원에 대한 실질적이고 체계적인 환자평가 교육은 필요하며, 지속적이고 많은 교육의 기회가 주어져야 할 것이다.
