본 연구는 간병인의 직무를 분석하여 간병인의 처우를 개선하고, 환자에게 양질의 간병서비스를 제공하기 위함이며 또한 간병서비스 제도화를 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위함이다. 연구 과정은 문헌조사를 통하여 직무분석을 위한 기본원리를 설정하고, 관찰법으로 직무에 관한 소요시간과 기초 정보를 수집하였다. 이를 기초로 하여 11개의 직무와 72개의 책무로 개발하였고, 이에 대한 간병인의 업무여부, 중요도, 직무 수행의 빈도를 서울특별시와 경기도에 소재하는 급성기병원 중에서 공동간병인실을 운영하는 병원에서 근무하는 60명의 간병인을 대상으로 하여 설문조사하였다. 자료수집 시기는 2012년 3월 2일부터 4월 20일까지이다. 자료 분석은 통계패키지인 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차의 기술통계를 활용하였다. 조사대상자의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 빈도분석을 실시하였으며 간병인서비스의 직무는 10개의 직무와 60개의 책무로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 보면 직접관찰법을 통하여 정한 10개의 직무와 68개의 책무에 전문가 실무자의 면접으로 1개의 직무와 4개의 책무를 추가하였다. 그러나 전문가 실무자의 면접으로 추가한 1개의 직무와 4개의 책무가 설문법에 의한 분석결과에서 제외되었다.

The expansion of long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) is expected to contribute to meeting the long-term care needs of the elderly with chronic diseases in a rapidly aging society. It is also expected to increase efficiency of health resource use and decrease elderly health expenditures by transferring patients from acute care hospitals (ACHs) to LTCHs. This study aimed to empirically examine how the expansion of LTCHs had influences on the length of hospitalization of the elderly in ACHs. Panel regression analysis was employed as an analytic tool using data of the National Health Insurance and the National Statistical Office from 2002 to 2006. The expansion of LTCHs was measured as location quotient (LQ) of LTCHs, denoting the share of LTCHs in a large city or province relative to the share of LTCHs at the national level. In addition, per capita GRDP (gross regional domestic product) and the proportion of population over 65 were included as control variables. The main findings are as follows. First, it was observed that LQ of LTCHs showed a statistically significant negative association with the length of hospitalization of the elderly in ACHs. Second, the negative correlation was evident among general hospitals with over 100 beds while it was not among hospitals with less than 100 beds. Third, LQ of LTCHs had more influences among the elderly over 85. In conclusion, the expansion of LTCHs seems to contribute to decrease in the inpatient cost of the elderly in ACHs and to increase efficiency in the utilization of health resources.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether the comprehensive nursing care service positively affected accidental falls and pressure injuries. Methods: This study was a retrospective study that analyzed the accidental falls and pressure injuries cases in an acute care hospital located in Seoul and compared the rates of accidental falls and pressure injuries before and after the comprehensive nursing care service was operated. Results: Comparing the accidental fall incidence rates per 100 person-months between a comprehensive nursing care ward and a general ward, it showed fewer accidental falls by 0.44 in comprehensive nursing care wards, but the result was not statistically significant. In the case of pressure ulcers, the incident rate per 100 person-month was 6.17 in general wards and 4.77 in comprehensive nursing care wards, which showed that the number of pressure ulcer patients was lower in comprehensive nursing care wards, however it was also not statistically significant. Conclusion: It is not confirmed that the operation of the comprehensive nursing care service contributes to the reduction of accidental hospital falls or pressure injuries. Follow-up studies are recommended to determine the effectiveness of comprehensive nursing services in quality indicators.

Purpose:The acute hospital accreditation program launched in South Korea has shown positive effects on safety culture and quality of care. However, relative weights have not yet been investigated for accreditation criteria with a hierarchical structure. This study aimed to derive the relative weights of acute-care hospital accreditation criteria. Methods: We conducted an online survey using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique to assess the validity, importance, and urgency of acute hospital accreditation criteria. The AHP online survey link was distributed in November 2022 after obtaining informed consent from 10 experts in hospital accreditation. Results: 'Basic value system' ranked highest, while 'patient care system' ranked second in terms of validity, importance, and urgency. 'Performance management system' had the lowest validity and urgency, while 'organizational management system' carried the lowest importance. Within the 'patient care system' domain, 'surgery and anesthesia sedation management' scored highest in validity and importance, and 'patient care' scored highest in urgency. 'Care delivery system and evaluation' received the lowest scores for all three aspects. In the 'organizational management system' domain, infection control ranked highest in terms of validity, importance, and urgency. The lowest validity was observed for 'management and organizational operation' and the lowest importance and urgency were noted for 'human resource management'. Conclusion: The weights for validity, importance, and urgency, as shown in each domain and chapter, and the number of measurable elements included, are largely inconsistent. This study will contribute to the development of the structure and scientific improvement of accreditation standards.
