Purpose: The purpose of this study was to suggest the projected workforce of home health care specialists in Korea. Method: Need model. ratio methods and expert opinion were used for projecting the number of home health care specialists. Result: 1) In 2002. there are 13 programs which offer one year home health specialist training. From those programs. they produced 3860 registered home health care specialists. 2) In 2002. there are 89 hospitalbased home health service units and 220 active home health care specialists. 3) In case of hospital- based home health service. average of 4 services per month for average of 3 months was assumed as workforce standard. 4) In case of community-based home health service. average of 4 services per month for 12 months was assumed as workforce standard. 5) The number of home health care specialists required to meet the demands for home health care population in 2000 and 2005 was estimated at minimum of 20.361 to maximum of 31.360 and 21.989 to 34.080. respectively.

Purpose: The study aim was to examine the home healthcare system and relevant education, as well as the special certification examination, and propose a plan to increase the supply of home health nurses. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using data from research articles, Korean and U.S. educational institutes and organizations, Korean national statistical data, government press releases, and related medical legislation. Results: Between 2005 and 2006, 763 home health nurses were certified through the special qualification examination; however, in the 16 years from 2007 to 2023 (after the graduate-level program was established), a total of 555 home health nurses were certified, with an average of approximately 35 per year. Currently, 790 home health nurses are working at 194 medical institutions nationwide. Relatively few institutions exist in rural areas, and the supply of home health nurses is low. Only seven educational institutions offer home health nurse certification programs, with a total of 77 designated students. In contrast to Korea, post-master's certification courses are offered in the U.S.. Conclusion: To expand the supply of home health nurses, we recommend revising the rules for the special qualification examination and introducing a post-master's certification program for home health nurses. Future studies should provide additional education for applicants from other specialties in post-master's certification programs.

본 연구는 노인장기요양보험제도 도입 전후 의료기관 가정간호사업소 수 및 이용량 변화를 파악하고자 하였다. 건강보험심사평가원으로부터 노인장기요양보험제도 도입 직전 1년(2007.7.1~2008.6.30)과 제도도입 후 혼란기인 6개월 후 1년(2009.1.1-12.30)간 의료기관 가정간호 기본방문료(AN100)가 청구된 자료를 받아 분석하였다. 노인장기요양보험제도 도입 후, 약 40개 의료기관 가정간호사업소가 문을 닫았고, 사업소가 한 곳도 없는 시군구가 전체 시군구 중 53%에서 59%로 증가하였다. 또한, 노인의 의료기관 가정간호 이용은 물론(이용자수 13.4% 감소, 방문건수 20.9% 감소), 비노인의 이용도 감소하였다(이용자수 3.5% 감소, 방문건수 3.9% 감소). 비노인의 가정간호 이용감소는 가정방문 간호사업소의 감소로 가정간호에 대한 접근이 낮아져 나타난 결과로 유추할 수 있다. 가정간호사업소 당 총 수입액은 2009년 1년간 평균 121,850천원으로 최소 인력인 가정전문간호사 2인의 인건비를 감안하면 수익이 크지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 이 연구결과를 통해 노인의 의료기관 가정 간호 이용감소는 노인장기요양보험 방문간호로 대체된다고 하더라도, 비노인의 가정간호 접근성을 높이기 위해서는 의료기관 가정간호사업소를 확대할 필요가 있다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction and indirect marketing effects (recommendation, hospital re-visit intention) and additionally to calculate the expected incomes by clinical nurse specialists (CNS). Methods: Sixty-six patients who had lower varicose vein removal surgery performed at two general hospitals from August 1 to November 30, 2008, were recruited. The effects were evaluated by degree of patient satisfaction, the number of personal recommendations given, rate of hospital re-visit intention, and indirect marketing effects. Indirect marketing effects were calculated as the total cost of surgery multiplied by the score of other variables. Results: The patient satisfaction score was 0.82 for CNS and 0.43 for general nurses (GN). The number of personal recommendations given was 2.5 for CNS and 1.1 for GN. The rate of hospital re-visit intention was 0.31 for CNS and 0.21 fot GN. The ratio of expected incomes between CNS and GN is 2.07 to 1. Conclusion: We found that when a CNS serves a patient, satisfaction, number of personal recommendations, hospital re-visit intention, and indirect marketing effects were higher than those of GN. These results show that CNS have dominant roles and functions and that the effects of CNS employment can be measured using economics parameters.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the training system and current status of home health nurses and to examine ways to retain sufficient number of advanced practice nurses (APNs) in the home health nursing field. Methods: This study analyzed the adequacy of the supply of home health nurse by reviewing the existing research literature and statistical data. Results: Discussions on how to revitalize the home care business have been ongoing since the beginning of 2001. However, despite home health nurses being oversupplied, discussions on the adequacy of supply have always been excluded from the focus of revitalization. The recent expansion of the home care business has resulted in a shortage of workforce, which can be inked not only to the continuous reduction of the designated quota of programs but also to the regional imbalance of educational institutions. The serious imbalance between supply and demand has caused fears that the home care business would drastically reduce. Conclusion: It is necessary to not only increase designated quotas for APNs programs but also integrate those programs of the similar curricula, thus lowering supply shortages in home health nurses.
