Abstract

This study was attempted to identify the current status of education of gerontological nursing at nursing colleges across the country and to check whether 19 senior nursing competencies suggested by the American Association of Nursing Colleges are reflected in the courses. The subjects of this study were 198 nursing education institutions accredited by KABONE, and each university's website, department homepage, university handbook, admission-related information, curriculum table, and syllabus were collected and analyzed through an internet search engine. The collected syllabus and the most recent curriculum table of the elderly nursing course were checked and analyzed using SPSS 23.0. The current status of gerontological nursing management was presented by calculating the frequency and percentage, and the educational contents presented in the syllabus were analyzed based on 19 geriatric nursing competencies presented by AACN. 185 institutions (93.43%) operated the geriatric nursing subjects, 98 institutions (49.49%) offered theory subject, and 84 institutions (42.42%) offered both theory and practice. In the case of compulsory majors, 52.92% had the most, 27.84% for the first semester of the 4th year, and 53.54% for 2 credits. As a result of analyzing the lesson plan, communication-related educational competency was included in 40% of cases. As AACN gerontological nursing competency 'effective information provision ability for the elderly', 'ethical and non-coercive decision-making', 'care without restraint', 'safe and effective transition across levels of care' was not included in the education content. In conclusion, gerontological nursing education has been focused on disease, and effective information provision capabilities including communication with the elderly need to be reflected.

본 연구는 전국 간호대학의 노인간호 교과목의 운영 현황을 파악하고 미국간호대학협회에서 제시한 19개 노인간호역량이 교과목에 반영되어 있는지 확인하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상은 한국간호교육평가원 인증을 받은 간호교육기관 198개로 각 대학의 홈페이지, 학과 홈페이지, 대학편람, 입시관련 정보, 교육과정표, 강의계획서를 인터넷 검색엔진을 통한 자료 수집 후 분석하였다. 수집된 노인간호 교과목의 강의계획서와 가장 최근의 교과과정표를 확인하여 SPSS 23.0을 사용하여 분석하였다. 노인간호 교과목 운영 현황은 빈도와 백분율을 산출하여 제시하였고, 강의계획서에 나타난 교육 내용은 미국간호대학협회(AACN)가 제시한 19개 노인간호 역량을 기반으로 분석하였다. 185개 기관(93.43%)는 노인간호 교과목을 운영하였고, 98개 기관(49.49%)은 이론과목, 84개 기관(42.42%)은 이론과 실습을 병행하였다. 전공필수인 경우 52.92%, 4학년 1학기 편성이 27.84%, 2학점 운영 53.54%로 가장 많았다. 강의계획서를 분석한 결과, 의사소통 관련 교육역량이 포함된 경우가 40%이었고, AACN 노인간호역량으로 '노인에게 효과적인 정보제공능력', '윤리적이고 비강압적인 의사결정', '억제대 비사용 케어', '급성기 재가 장기요양서비스 간 안전하고 효과적인 전환'은 교육내용에 없었다. 결론적으로 현재까지 노인간호 교과목은 질병중심으로 교육이 되고 있었고 노인의사소통을 포함한 효과적인 정보제공역량이 반영될 필요가 있다.
