간호사는 의료법 상 의료인으로서 의료기관에서 진료의 보조 등의 업무를 수행한다. 의료인인 간호사는 119 구조·구급에 관한 법률에 근거 구급대원으로서 병원 전 단계 응급의료체계에서 응급환자를 대상으로 응급의료를 제공한다. 병원 전 응급의료체계에서 업무를 수행하는 간호사의 업무범위는 의료법 상 포괄적으로 규정되어 있는 업무를 판례 등을 통해 구체화되어 왔다. 반대로 응급구조사의 업무범위는 응급의료법에 의해 구체적 행위를 열거하는 방식으로 규정되어 있다. 병원 전 단계 응급의료체계에서 응급의료종사자로서 업무를 수행하는 간호사의 업무범위는 대상 환자의 긴급성, 응급의료기관으로의 이송 중이라는 점, 통신 상의 의료지도라는 특수성을 고려하여 간호사의 업무범위를 의료기관 내에서와 달리 적용하여 해석되어야 한다. 따라서 상대적으로 병원 전단계에서 간호사가 응급구조사보다 넓은 업무범위가 인정되고 이것이 정책목표에도 부합된다.

Purpose : The purpose of the study is investigate the images towards emergency medical technician(EMT) perceived by secondary school teachers. Methods : The data was collected from July 30 to 31, 2012. The subjects were 337 secondary school teachers. SPSS Statistics 18.0 was used for internal consistency reliability, descriptive statistical analysis and factor analysis. Results : Those who contacted with EMT consisted of 57.6% which was higher than those who had not(42.4%). Before contact, the gender and teaching subject showed a significant difference of p =.027 and p =.002, respectively. The average on the image towards EMT showed a positive points of $5.68({\pm}0.73)$ out of 7 and the most positive image was 'practical-theoretical' of $6.33({\pm}1.12)$. Factor analysis of EMT image was analyzed based on 3 factors including sincerity($5.89{\pm}0.89$), professionalism($6.02{\pm}0.89$) and familiarity($4.51{\pm}1.42$)(p <.000). The degree of familiarity showed significant differences in gender(p =.005), majoring(teaching subjects)(p =.049) and prior contact(p =.020). Conclusion : In conclusion, previous contact and recognition towards EMT could make good image making in secondary school teachers by getting well-organized promotions and professional services. This contact will make a good future counseling to the students who want to be EMTs.

The purpose of this investigation is to enhance the survival rate of patients by transporting them to the hospital within the golden hour through the operational improvement of emergency dispatch instruction. To this end, problems and improvements of current operating system were derived by carrying out a survey against paramedics of Incheon city in 2012 and analyzing the current emergency dispatch instruction. This study analyzed the emergency activity daily reports for one year from January 1 through December 31, 2012 and researched the consciousness of 119 emergency medical technician. According to the analysis of the survey, there were no meaningful differences in the on-site arrival times per triage. Therefore, the item of 'Emergency Classification' specified in the emergency dispatch instruction needs to be integrated in the scheme of "triage". Also, the feedbacks of the emergency action log and the emergency dispatch instruction are necessary for 'duty for operation' to review the adequacy to the severity after the end of emergency operation. Finally, the improvement of the system for the continuous communication between the paramedics and the command staff is necessary. This improvements as stated above are expected to contribute to raise survival rate of patients.

Purpose: To identify work stress and job satisfaction of the emergency medical technician (EMT) and to contribute to the improvement of emergency care under the current emergency medical law. Methods: The data were collected by questionnaire from the total 849 EMTs (635 National emergency management agency (119) workers and 214 hospital workers) throughout the whole country from January 5, to March 5, 2012. Each level of indicator calculated under 100-point-scale was compared by t-test and ANOVA. Factors affecting stress and satisfaction were analyzed by Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (${\alpha}$=.05). Results: Mean level of job stress was markedly higher among 119 workers (76.9) than those in the hospital (56.6) (p<.001). Mean level of job satisfaction was higher among 119 workers (63.2) than those in the hospital (60.2) (p<.001). Conclusion: To diminish work stress and to increase job satisfaction, efforts to support the pride and to improve working condition considering the situations of the agency and to offer more education chance to keep and strengthen the specialty are needed.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effects of knowledge and attitude on confidence about patient safety management among emergency medical technician (EMT) students. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 174 EMT students in two cities from May to June 2016. Data were analyzed using PASW WIN 20.0 for descriptive statistics, t-test, one way analysis of variance, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The students' confidence about patient safety management was 3.33 (on a 5-point scale). Confidence varied according to average academic grade (p=.015), experience in patient safety education, and experience in writing medical error reports. After adjusting for sex, average academic grade, and experience in patient safety education, knowledge and attitudes about patient safety increased a student's confidence in patient safety management by 19%. Conclusion: Patient safety education should be included in programs on health promotion and be provided as basic information in intervention programs for EMTs.

본 연구는 대전 충남 소재 3차 의료기관에서 근무하는 응급의료종사자(의사, 간호사) 122명을 대상으로 병원 내 응급구조사의 이미지를 조사하였다. 병원 내 응급구조사의 이미지를 향상시키기 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 연구를 실시한 결과, 이미지는 $3.27{\pm}0.34$점이었다. 영역별로는 전문적 이미지가 가장 높았고, 역할 이미지가 가장 낮았다. 문항별로는 '의사와 우호적 관계를 유지하고 있다.'가 가장 높았고, '잘난 체하고 업무 수행을 소홀히 한다.'가 가장 낮았다. 병원 내 응급구조사의 이미지를 더욱 향상시키기 위해서는 응급구조사가 환자와 동료에게 진정성 있는 태도로 일관해야하며, 전문직으로서 직업의식을 고취시키고, 응급구조사의 고유 업무와 역할을 충실히 해내야 할 것이다. 또한 전문 직업인으로서의 이미지를 구축할 수 있도록 협회 차원의 홍보와 대책이 마련되어져야 할 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of our study was to introduce an oath and ethics code for emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Methods: The proposed oath and ethics code for the EMTs was evaluated using a modified Delphi technique. This oath and ethics code was presented at Korean association of emergency medical technician conference and was revised by experts in emergency medical services. Results: We examined the ethics codes for other allied healthcare professionals regarding the topics of human rights, health promotion, acting as an advocate, ethics, cooperation, observance, human rights, right to know, self-determination, confidentiality, and professionalism. These elements are reflected in our proposed oath and ethics code for EMTs. Conclusion: The proposed oath and ethics code would raise the professional status of EMTs.
