Abstract

The purpose of this study is to seek out effective policy measures for improving the working environment and improving the supply and demand of nursing manpower in Korea, thereby improving the quality of nursing and creating a high-quality work environment to present a plan to secure adequate supply and demand for nursing manpower. To this end, we have looked at ways to secure effective nursing manpower through literature related to Japanese nursing manpower policy, which has similar health systems to Korea. Japan has established a nursing manpower supply policy since 1974, and is making efforts to improve the working environment and re-employment of idle nursing personnel due to frequent turnover and retirement. As a result of these efforts, the turnover rate of new nurses less than one year in Japan decreased to 7.5%, while the rate of new nurses in Korea was 33.9%. In addition, it is possible to consider ways to encourage medical institutions that have actively promoted and hired idle personnel through various incentives and financial support at the central and local levels.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라의 부족한 간호인력 수급방안 및 근무환경개선을 위한 실효성 있는 정책방안을 모색하여, 간호의 질을 높이고 양질의 업무환경을 만들어 적정 간호인력 수급확보방안을 제시하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 우리나라와 보건체계가 유사한 일본의 간호인력 정책과 관련된 문헌 및 정부와 지자체 자료분석을 통해 실효성 있는 간호인력 확보방안 및 지자체 사례에 대해 살펴보았다. 일본은 1974년부터 간호인력 수급정책을 마련하여, 근무환경개선 및 잦은 이직과 퇴직으로 인한 유휴 간호인력의 재취업등의 개선노력을 하고 있다. 이러한 노력으로 일본의 1년 미만의 신입간호사 이직율이 7.5%로 감소한 반면, 한국의 신입간호사는 33.9%로 큰 차이를 보였다. 이를 통해, 간호인력증원도 중요하지만, 기존의 간호인력이 지속적으로 근무할 수 있는 업무환경개선이 이루어져야할 것이다. 지방간호사들이 이탈하지 않도록 적정한 휴식 및 간호수가를 수도권지역보다 높게 책정하는 등 제도적인 강화가 필요할 것이다. 또한, 유휴인력을 적극적으로 홍보하여 채용한 의료기관에 대해서는 중앙 및 지자체 차원에서 다양한 인센티브 및 재정적 지원으로 독려하는 방안도 고려해 볼 수 있을 것이다.
