Purpose: This descriptive study was conducted to project the number of nurse anesthetists needed in hospital settings, up to the year 2015. Method: Necessary data and information were collected from various funded reports, professional literature, web sites and personal visits to national and private institutions. The number of nurse anesthetists needed was projected after considering the total number of cases requiring anesthesia including deliveries, workload ratio for caesarean section to total number of deliveries, and percent of deliveries requiring and anesthesia. Result: The projected number of nurse anesthetists needed for hospital settings are as follows: 1. The number of registered anesthesia personnel in Korea in 2002 was 2,481 anesthesiologists and 543 nurse anesthetists but only 60% of anesthesiologists and 30% of nurse anesthetists (147) were actually practicing in the field of surgery. 2. By the year 2015, the total number of projected nurse anesthetists needed in hospital settings will be between 214 and 265. Conclusion: In order to match the supply to the need, the professional organizations should direct efforts towards enacting legislation. Educational systems should identify strategies to initiating an adequate number of nurse anesthetist programs at the master's level as well as standardizing curriculums across programs.

Purpose: This study was done to identify job tasks and task elements of Korean nurse anesthetists according to type of medical institution. Methods: A job task scale which consisted of 9 job tasks and 40 task elements was developed. Data were collected from December, 2009 to February, 2010 from 182 nurse anesthetists who were working in medical institutions (response rate: 75.8%). Results: Forty-eight percent of nurse anesthetists were independent from anesthesiologists in anesthetic practice. Preanesthetic nursing assessment was much more frequent in small hospitals than in general hospitals (p<.05), and anesthetic nursing intervention, administering the anesthetics, monitoring the patient's status during anesthesia, and provision of safety and compliance with anesthetic ethics were much more frequent in general hospitals than medical centers (p<.001). There were no differences among the medical institutions for job tasks in post-anesthetic nursing interventions (p=.229), administering anesthetics (p=.354) and monitoring patients' status during anesthesia (p=.099), providing safe anesthetic environment (p=.896), and management of ancillary personnel/equipment (p=.617). Conclusion: Results indicate that nurse anesthetists contribute significantly to anesthetic practice in small hospitals and general hospitals. Therefore, it recommended that nursing leaders make efforts to enact legal nurse anesthetist-related policies for safe and high quality anesthetic nursing care.

본 연구의 목적은 자가통증조절기를 사용하는 수술 후 환자를 위한 간호 활동 목록을 개발하는데 있다. 간호 활동 목록을 개발하기 위하여 본 연구의 첫 번째 단계에서는 문헌고찰 및 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 이용한 간호 활동 목록을 개발하였고 두 번째 단계에서는 간호 활동의 중재 내용 타당도 조사를 시행하였다. 본 연구는 5명의 마취과 전문의와 6명의 성인 및 기본 간호학 교수, 1명의 급성통증관리 전문간호사를 대상으로 하였으며, 본 연구를 통하여 수술 후 자가통증조절기를 사용하는 환자를 위한 12개의 항목을 개발하였다. 중재 내용 타당도의 검증에서 모든 항목이 .92에서 1.0으로 타당하였다. 본 연구 결과는 수술 후 자가통증조절기를 사용하는 환자의 간호를 위한 간호 실무에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
