기존 병원들의 간호사 호출 시스템은 유선 방식으로 입원실과 화장실 벽면에 부착하여 도움이 필요로 할 경우 간호사를 호출한다. 하지만 유선 방식은 장치가 부착된 입원실과 화장실에서만 간호사를 호출 할 수 있다는 큰 단점을 가지고 있다. 만일 병원 내부의 간호사 호출 시스템이 없는 장소에서 환자에게 응급상황이 발생할 경우 환자는 도움을 받지 못하여 2차 사고로 이어질 수 있다. 반면 무선 방식은 환자들에게 개별적으로 장치를 지급하는 것과 잦은 분실에 의해 비용 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 스마트폰과 Beacon으로 장소의 제약 없이 보다 신속하고 정확하게 환자의 위치를 담당 간호사에게 전송하는 방식을 이용한다. 그리고 이를 기반으로 하여 기존의 간호사 호출 시스템에서 발생되는 환자 위치 사각지대를 해결한 새로운 Multipurpose Patient Support Systems(MPSS)기술을 제안한다.

The nurse staffing level in the acute care hospitals affects patient safety and performance, and the nurse staffing legislation can be an important tool to guarantee the minimum nurse staffing. In Korea, although the medical law suggests the nurse staffing standards, it is necessary to revise the medical law for quality of nursing care and patient safety. Firstly, the nurse staffing standards in the current medical law enacted in 1962 needs to be revised to reflect changes in health care environment. Secondly, legal nurse staffing standards in the medical law are the minimum nurse staffing that medical institutions should comply with and thus must be managed so that all medical institutions should abide by them. Thirdly, the nurse staffing standards should apply on the basis of RN-to-patient ratios per shift in order to help patients understanding and ensure the easy management. Fourthly, the information of nursing staff level by the nursing unit and nursing shift in hospitals shall be released.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of burnout, verbal abuse experience, and social support on job embeddedness in the Small and Medium Sized Hospital Nurses. The data were collected from 497 nurses by means of self-reported questionnaires on August 23th to October 30th, 2017. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results showed that burnout, verbal abuse experience, social support, and position were identified as the factors affecting the nurse's job embeddedness (Adjusted $R^2=.45$). Therefore, to enhance nurses' job embeddedness, it is necessary to reduce nurse's burnout and increase social supports from supervisor and colleague. Additionally, the nurse leaders should prepare a verbal abuse prevention program for nurses.
