Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the modern history of public health(PH) and suggest a way forward for PH nursing(PHN). Methods: This paper is a review article that derives results from literature review. Results: In the period of beginning (up to 1944), PHN began as the PH Department was created in the Hygiene Bureau in 1908 and tasks about nurses were legislated. PHN was limited to infectious disease tasks and performed mostly by missionaries. In the period of foundation formation (1945 to 1961), the Republic of Korea was founded, and PH policies and tasks were defined with the establishment of the central government organization and the applicable laws. In the period of foundation establishment (1962 to 1979), the Regional PH Act was amended, and as a result, PH Centers(PHCs) spread across the country. In the period of foundation expansion (1980 to 1994), the PH referral system of PHCs, PH Units, and Primary Health Care Post was established. In the period of organization in each area (1995 to 2005), PH programs reflecting changes in disease structure and public needs for the quality of life. A regional health care plan was launched. In the period of funtion expansion (2006 to present day), Centers for support health living were established. Conclusions: In the future, PH nurses need to have a macroscopic perspective that views PH through the overall PH system, and to expand from the existing healthcare concept to the national and global healthcare one.

본 연구는 지역사회보건사업의 한 영역인 보건간호의 근대 역사를 6개 시기로 구분하여 고찰하고 보건간호가 나아갈 방향에 대해 제안하였다. 태동기는 1908년부터 시작되었으며 선교사에 의해 보건간호가 시작되었으나 귀국 조치되면서 위축되었다. 기반형성기는 대한민국정부 수립 후 중앙정부조직과 보건관련 법령을 체계화한 시기로 1956년 보건소법 제정으로 보건소의 법적 근거를 확보하였다. 기반조성기에 정부는 가족계획사업을 정책사업으로 수행하였고 기생충질환예방법, 결핵예방법, 모자보건법 등이 제정되면서 보건소 사업이 증가하였다. 의료법 개정으로 업무분야별 간호사 자격이 인정되어 보건간호분야 간호사가 인정되었으며 조산원이 읍면동에 배치되어 임부의 분만 출산을 돕는 등 보건간호가 활성화되었다. 분야별 정비기에는 보건소 건강증진사업이 새롭게 영입되고 정신보건센터가 전국적으로 설치되면서 국민건강의 분야별 사업이 정비되었다. 또한 지역보건의료계획을 작성하게 되어 지역주민들의 요구를 반영한 사업을 할 수 있게 되었으며 정부는 국민건강증진종합계획을 설정하여 이를 보건의료 사업의 목적으로 삼았다. 보건소 기능확대기에는 건강형평성 확보를 위해 전국 차원의 맞춤형 방문건강관리사업을 실시하였고 도시보건지소와 건강생활지원센터를 설립하여 주민들에게 접근성을 높인 일차보건의료서비스를 제공하였다. 앞으로 보건간호는 우리나라 보건의료전달체계의 특성에 알맞은 보건간호체계의 구상과 설계, 간호 인력에 대한 동기부여, 역할개발과 훈련, 새로운 보건체계와 보건간호서비스에 대한 종합적 평가 등을 통해 발전해 나가야 할 것이다.
