Abstract

This study was intended to provide basic data to improve forensic response ability in the field by evaluating the level of forensic education knowledge and investigating the need for forensic education for 180 paramedics working in the Coast Guard and 119. As a result of the study, the level of knowledge related to sexual crimes and child abuse and evidence collection was overall low, and the correct answer rate was relatively high among those who graduated from a 3-year college, paramedic, and office workers with 6 to 10 years of experience. In addition, the need for education was further emphasized as there were many respondents who had no experience in completing forensic education. Therefore, there is a need to prepare a systematic training course centered on practical cases so that emergency medical technicians can effectively utilize forensic knowledge and respond in the field.

본 연구는 해양 경찰 및 소방에서 근무하는 응급구조사 180명을 대상으로 법의학 교육 지식 수준을 평가하고, 법의학 교육의 필요성을 조사하여 현장에서 법의학적 대응 능력을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 성범죄 및 아동학대와 관련된 지식과 증거 채집에 대한 지식 수준이 전반적으로 낮았으며, 3년제 대학 졸업자, 1급 응급구조사 자격증 소지자, 근무연수 6-10년에서 상대적으로 높은 정답률을 보였다. 또한, 법의학 교육 이수 경험이 없는 응답자가 많아 교육의 필요성이 더욱 강조되었다. 따라서 응급구조사들이 법의학적 지식을 효과적으로 활용하여 현장에서 대처할 수 있도록 실질적인 사례를 중심으로 체계적인 교육과정을 마련할 필요가 있다.
