Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the satisfaction and needs of 119 paramedics with regard to continuing education and to develop and implement a continuing education program that can enhance their competence in accordance with the purpose of continuing education. The differences in satisfaction with continuing education according to general characteristics were significantly different depending on age, qualification, and clinical experience, and in terms of continuing education topic needs, 'Advanced Trauma Life Support' was the highest need among all groups, and additional desired continuing education topics were the management of mentally ill patients and various field case-based education, indicating a high preference for practical topics that are helpful in emergency patient care work. Therefore, it is believed that efforts should be made to improve the operation of continuing education from various angles, taking into account the general characteristics of continuing education recipients, and improving the quality of continuing education by reflecting the needs of continuing education recipients and selecting practical topics for continuing education.

이 연구는 119구급대원을 대상으로 보수교육 만족도 및 요구도를 탐색하고 보수교육의 목적에 맞게 역량을 강화시킬 수 있는 보수교육프로그램 개발 및 운영을 모색하기 위해 시도되었다. 일반적 특성에 따른 보수교육 만족도는 연령, 자격, 임상 경력 유무에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 보수교육주제 요구도는 모든 직군에서 '전문외상 처치술'이 가장 높은 요구도를 보였으며 추가로 희망하는 주제는 정신질환자 관리, 다양한 현장 사례 중심 교육으로. 응급환자 처치 업무에 도움이 되는 실무적인 주제에 대한 선호도가 높음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 보수교육 대상자의 일반적 특성을 고려하여 다 각도로 보수교육 운영안을 개선하려는 노력이 필요할 것으로 여겨지며 보수교육 대상자의 요구를 반영해서 교육 운영 방법을 개선하고 보수교육 주제를 실무에 맞는 주제로 선정하여 보수교육의 질적향상을 도모해야 할 것이다.
