Abstract

This study is a descriptive research study to understand the level of communication awareness between doctors and nurses, who are professional medical professionals, and the detailed areas and satisfaction of communication. Data were collected from 372 doctors and nurses at general hospitals located in C city from March to May 2021. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, and correlation analysis, using the SPSS/WIN 20.0 program. As a result, there was a difference in the awareness level of communication between doctor and nurse groups. Specifically, out of the detailed areas of communication recognized by doctors and nurses, there were statistically significant differences in openness(t=9.91), mutual understanding between occupations(t=5.25), and satisfaction(t=8.13) between the two groups. In addition, a positive correlation was found between the detailed areas and the communication satisfaction in both groups, showing that nurses have higher communication satisfaction with the higher openness(r=.72, p<.001), mutual understanding between occupations(r=.71, p<.001) and similarly, doctors also have higher communication satisfaction with the higher mutual understanding between occupations(r=.79, p<.001), timeliness(r=.73, p<.001). Therefore, these result suggest that it is necessary to develop a communication program that can effectively improve the weak areas such as mutual understanding between occupations and openness in nurses and doctors in order to ensure patient safety and provide quality medical care.

본 연구는 전문 의료인인 의사와 간호사간 의사소통 인식 정도와 의사소통에 대한 세부 영역과 만족도를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사 연구이다. 자료수집은 C시의 종합병원 의사, 간호사 372명을 대상으로 2021년 3월부터 5월까지 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, 평균과 표준편차, t-검정, ANOVA, Scheffe test, 상관관계 분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 의사와 간호사 간 의사소통 인식의 차이가 있었으며, 의사가 인식한 의사소통과 간호사가 인식한 의사소통 세부영역 중 개방성(t=9.91), 직종 간 상호이해(t=5.25), 만족도(t=8.13)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 의사소통 세부영역에서 간호사와 의사 그룹 모두 의사소통 세부영역과 만족도는 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 간호사는 개방성(r=.72, p<.001), 직종 간 상호이해(r=.71, p<.001)가 의사소통 만족도와 높은 양의 상관관계가 있었고, 의사는 직종 간 상호이해(r=.79, p<.001), 적시성(r=.73, p<.001)이 의사소통 만족도와 높은 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 환자안전을 보장하고 양질의 의료를 제공할 수 있도록 간호사, 의사 직종 간 상호이해, 개방성 등 취약부분을 효과적으로 개선할 수 있는 의사소통 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
