초록

본 연구는 COVID-19 팬데믹 상황에서 보건소 간호사로 근무한 경험을 심층적으로 이해하고, 본질을 규명하고자 시도되었다. C도의 3개 군 보건소에서 COVID-19 팬데믹 기간 동안 1년 이상 근무한 경험이 있는 대상자를 연구참여자로 선정하여 Colaizzi가 제안한 현상학적 방법에 따라 분석하였다. 연구결과 'COVID-19에 대한 부정적 감정', '직업적 소명의식 고취', '신종 감염병 대응 체계 구축에 앞장'의 3가지 주제모음이 도출되었다. 이를 바탕으로 간호사들을 위한 심리적 문제 지원 강화, 편중된 업무의 개선, 전문 인력 지원, 체계적 교육 지원, 적정 수준의 보상체계 마련 등의 필요성을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 토대로 보건의료 체계 내 주요 인력인 간호사의 지지체계를 마련하고, 효율적인 감염병 대응 전략을 마련하기 위해 다각도의 관심을 가지고 활발한 논의가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to understand the experience of nurses working in public health centers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify its essence. The subjects who had worked for more than one year during the period of COVID-19 pandemic in three county health centers in C province were selected as research participants and analyzed according to the phenomenological method proposed by Colaizzi. As a result of the study, three themes were derived: Negative feelings about COVID-19, A firm sense of professional calling, Leading the way in preparing a system to respond to new infectious diseases. Based on this, it was confirmed that it is necessary to strengthen psychological problem support for nurses, improve biased work, support professional manpower, support systematic education, and prepare appropriate compensation system. Therefore, based on the results of this study, active discussions should be made with various interests in order to establish a support system for nurses who are major personnel in the health care system and to prepare an effective infectious disease response strategy.
