Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the convergent awareness of emergency medical technicians serving as paramedics on the standard operating procedure(SOP) and their performance of it. The subjects in this study were 400 selected emergency medical technicians who were working as paramedics, and SPSS 20.0 was employed to make an analysis. The findings of the study were as follows: As for the convergent awareness of the subjects, they were best aware of the prevention of respiratory infections, and they were least aware of hand hygiene. Concerning performance, they performed best in handling treatment equipment and ensuring staff safety, and they performed least well in terms of hand hygiene. Overall, they were rated higher in awareness than in performance. Second, regarding the influence of general characteristics, there were statistically significant differences in awareness according to age, gender and injury experience, and significant differences were found in performance according to career only. The convergent awareness of the emergency medical workers was positively correlated with their performance. Given the findings of the study, it's required to improve both the Standard Operating Procedure awareness and performance of emergency medical workers who serve as paramedics, and it's expected to make it possible to boost their performance when repeated education is provided with the kind of programs that aim at improving awareness.

본 연구는 구급대원으로 활동하는 응급구조사의 표준작전절차에 대한 융복합적인 인지도와 수행도를 알고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 구급대원으로 활동하는 응급구조사 400명을 연구대상으로 표집하여 SPSS 20.0 Version을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연구대상자의 융복합적인 인지도는 호흡기 감염예방 부분이 가장 높았고, 손위생이 가장 낮았으며, 수행도는 치료장비 및 직원의 안전 부분이 가장 높았고, 손위생이 가장 낮았다. 인지도가 전체적으로 수행도 보다 높았다. 둘째, 일반적 특성에 따라 인지도는 연령, 성별, 상처 경험에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 수행도는 근무경력만이 유의한 차이를 보였다. 응급구조사의 융복합적인 인지도와 수행도 간에 정적 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 결과로 구급대원으로 활동하는 응급구조사의 표준작전절차에 관한 인지도와 수행도를 복합적으로 높이기 위해 인지도를 선행으로 한 프로그램을 지속적으로 반복 교육 시 수행도를 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
