Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide a basis for the development of a health insurance payment system by exploring inpatient hospice & palliative care activities in a long-term care hospital by occupational personnel. The contents and frequency of inpatient hospice-palliative care activities were obtained retrospectively from the chart review of 12 terminally ill patients who died during the 6 months before their deaths. According to their occupational personnel, doctors were doing blood transfusion, family counseling, and medication guidance. Nurses' main activities were airway suction, oxygen supply, EKG monitoring, observing patient's status, helping medication and tube feeding. Other workers' activities are as follows: social workers were applying individualized programs, physical therapists were doing electrostimulation, nutritionists were giving nutrition evaluation and meal rounding, and careworkers were assisting with meals and nutrition. Although certain nursing activities, like emotional support, were performed by nurses, the hospice-palliative activities from doctors, social workers and physical therapists were largely unavailable for terminally ill patients in a long-term care hospital. And some terminally ill patients were receiving too intensive and invasive medical cares for end end-of-life care. The results highlight the importance of valid measures of hospice-palliative care quality and the need for establishing an adequate reimbursement system for ensuring and improving end-of-life care.

일개요양병원에 입원한 호스피스 환자에게 제공되고 있는 직종별 호스피스 완화의료 서비스 행위와 빈도를 파악하여 향후 요양병원 호스피스 완화의료 수가 개발의 기초자료를 마련하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 후향적 연구로 요양병원에 사망한 12명의 말기암환자에 대한 의무기록을 자료 로 임종 전 6개월 동안 1개월 간격으로 호스피스 완화의료 서비스 행위를 조사하였다. 직종별 호스피스 완화의료 서비스 행위를 살펴보면 의사는 수혈, 보호자 면담, 투약설명 등, 간호인력은 석션, 산소공급, 환자상태관찰, 투약 간호, 위관영양 등을, 그 외 사회복지사는 개별프로그램적용, 물리치료사는 전기신경자극치료, 영양사는 영양평가와 영양관리, 요양보호사는 식사 및 영양보조, 기저귀교체 등을 수행하는 것으로 나타났다. 조사대상 요양병원을 분석한 결과 요양병원의 호스피스 완화의료 서비스는 미흡한 실정으로 급성기 중환자에게 제공되는 공격적이며 적극적인 서비스가 중심이 되고 있어 편안하고 존엄한 임종 돌봄이 제공되지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 요양병원에서 제공되는 호스피스 완화의료 서비스 질을 향상시켜 노인들이 삶의 마지막 순간을 존엄하고 평화롭게 맞이할 수 있도록 호스피스 완화의료 수가적용 등의 제도적 방안을 마련할 필요가 있다.
