The purpose of this study is to investigate the nurses' needs in the general hospitals as a basic study to develop ICU clinical nurse from Aug. 3 to Sept. 26 1998 at 13 general or university hospitals that have ICU nurse training course and are accredited at KNA. The subjects of study were ICU nurses and nurse managers at the department of nursing. The questionnaire items were developed from literature review, interviews with 30 ICU nurses at an university hospital in Pusan. The results were as follows : The subjects of study educated in ICU nurse training course were 44.3% of total. The 93.1% responded the necessity of ICU CNS and 89.1% wanted to have ICU CNS certification. The 43.8% answered that ICU should be a center of CNS education and 32.0% answered the department of nursing. Most of subjects responded that the clinical experience of ICU should be needed prior to CNS education. Regarding the treatment of ICU CNS, the 34.2% of total subjects responded it would be suitable to pay additional allowance and the 28.3% answered to grade-up salary step, and then the 13.7% to promote level position. Concerning the assignment department, the 63.5% answered that the charge nurse would be proper than general nurse or head nurse. As to the working time of ICU CNS, the 93.2% responded that D-duty is needed, the 79.5% to E-duty and the 64.4% to N-duty. It is suggested that the consensus of ICU nurses for the concept, the role and the system of ICU CNS is needed.

Purpose: The purpose of this literature review was to describe the roles of advanced practice nurses related to advance directives. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted utilizing Pubmed, Ovid, and CINAHL. The key words for search were 'advance directives', 'living wills', 'durable power of attorney', 'advanced practice nursing', 'advanced practice nurse', 'nurse practitioner', and 'nurse specialist'. Research articles published between January 1990 and September 2010 and written in English were included. Review papers and expert's opinion were excluded. Results: Five articles were yielded and analyzed. Among them, two focused on the advanced practice nurses' role during the process of advance directives. The other three presented the outcomes depending on the type of nurses' involvement in each health care delivery system. Conclusion: Recently, Korea established advance directives and expanded to diverse sites. Advanced practice nurses' role in the advance directive decision-making process should be examined and developed in research and practice.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to understand and describe the experiences of the advanced nurse practitioner (APN) system used by healthcare providers including APNs, doctors who worked with APNs, and APN master's course professors at a graduate school. Methods : Qualitative data were collected via snowball sampling. The participants were nine APNs, six doctors, and three professors. They were divided into three focus groups, each of which consisted of all three types of healthcare providers. Data were collected via interviews with the three focus groups conducted from September to October 2019. All interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. The transcribed data then underwent qualitative content analysis. Results : Based on the data, we extracted four themes and 14 categories. The themes were "Role and system of APNs started according to healthcare environment changes", "Optimal healthcare provider to ensure quality of care", "Confused role and system of APNs due to incomplete medical law", and "Tasks for the stable operation of the APN system." Conclusion : For quality treatment and safety of patients, a legal basis must be established for the APN system. For its stable operation, social consensus regarding legislation about APNs' scope of practice is required. Finally, a discussion is necessary about the integration of APNs' 13 fields.

연구배경 : 대부분의 국내 중환자실에서는 간호사들에 의해 호흡 치료가 이루어지고 있으나 그 실태는 잘 알려지지 않았다. 본 연구는 국내 중환자실에서 시행되는 호흡요법의 종류 및 호흡치료사들의 필요성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 중환자실이 설치된 117개 병원의 수간호사들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 결과 : 117개 병원 중 100개 병원에서 회신하여 회신율은 85%(대학병원 97%, 산하병원 81%, 종합병원 77%) 였다. 대학병원 66단위 중 18단위, 종합병원 58단위 중 35단위에서 통합 중환자실로 운영되고 있었으며 중환자실 전담의사가 있는 병원은 47.1% 였다. 호흡요법 전문치료사가 있는 병원은 없었으며 응답자의 92.8%가 전문치료사의 필요성을 인정하였다. 중환자실에서 제공되는 호흡요법 중 기관지흡인, 자세 변경, 타진법, 기침유발 등은 대부분 시행되고 있었으며 진동마사지, 간헐적 양압환기법 등은 종합병원에서의 시행률이 낮았다. 이러한 호흡요법은 주로 간호사들에 의해 시행되어졌으며 평균 8시간 근무 중 이러한 호흡요법 시행에 소모되는 시간은 1시간 미만에서 4시간까지 다양하였다. 산소공급을 위해 사용하는 장치 중 venturi mask, T-piece 등은 종합병원에서의 사용률이 낮았으며 종합병원은 전통적인 인공환기법에 대한 의존도가 상대적으로 높았다. Swan-Ganz catheter monitoring등의 혈역학적 감시 장비도 병원간의 차이를 보였다. 의료장비의 관리 및 보관에서도 담당 의공학과가 갖추어진 곳이 종합병원은 드물었다. 결론 : 국내 중환자실의 호흡치료는 간호사들에 의해 제공되고 있으며 병원 수준에 따라 제공되는 호흡요법 수준의 차이가 커 전문적 호흡요법의 수행을 위해서는 호흡치료사 제도의 도입이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
