2009년 3월 1일~4월 31일까지 광주광역시와 전라남도에 근무하는 119 응급구조요원 288명을 대상으로 병원 전 단계 에서 119 응급구조요원이 약물중독환자에게 실시하는 병원 전 응급처치의 지식과 수행 태도에 대한 서술적 조사 연구이다. 약물중독의 지식정도 평점은 10점 만점에 7.04점, 약물중독환자의 응급처치 수행 태도는 평점 4점 만점에 2.96점으로 응급처치 지식은 높으나 수행태도는 낮은 경향이었다. 또한 약물중독 환자에게 틀리게 응급 처치한 경우가 34.6%로서 환자의 생명에 직결되는 문제를 야기할 수도 있다. 수행 태도의 4개 하위 영역별로 살펴보면, 환자 상태파악 영역 3.52점$\pm$0.59, 환자처치 영역 2.95점$\pm$0.57, 환자예후 파악 영역 2.78점$\pm$0.75, 의료지도 업무수행 영역 1.67점$\pm$1.05의 순으로 의료지도 업무 수행영역이 가장 낮은 점은 시사하는 바가 크다. 즉 병원 전 단계의 의료지도가 중요하므로 향후 응급실의 응급의학 전문의 중 1인이 응급구조사로 부터 환자상태를 보고 받으면 투약과 처치를 지도하는 병원-응급구조대 연계체계의 구축이 바람 직하다. 약물중독환자에 대한 지식은 연령, 성별, 지역별 근무지에 따라 차이가 있었다. 응급처치 수행 태도는 성별, 지역별 근무지, 교대 근무 형태, 학력, 올바른 응급처치, 연수 여부 별로 차이가 있었다. 대상자인 119 응급구조요원의 약물중독 보수교육률과 연수률이 낮았고 약물중독에 관한 전문교육요구는 높았다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 병원 전 단계 약물중독환자에 대한 응급구조사의 지식은 높지만, 수행 태도에서 환자 상태파악은 잘 하고 있었으나, 환자예후 파악과 의료지도 업무는 정확하게 수행하지 못하고 있었다. 본 연구는 향후 응급구조사와 119 응급구조요원에 대한 반복적인 술기 중심 응급처치 연수를 통한 응급구조사의 질 향상과 병원 전 단계 약물중독 환자 지침서 개발에 유용한 자료가 될 것으로 본다.

Purpose: This study shows the prehospital emergency nursing practices, and analyzes them associated with their individual characteristics and job conditions. Method: Based on a survey of the National Emergency Medical Center in Korea(2008), principal components were extracted from 7 prehospital emergency nursing practices by factor analysis, and some regression analyses of principal components(CPR-AED and V/S-I.V.) were executed on individual characteristics and job conditions. Results: The PENs gave themselves higher order ratings for vital sign check, airway management for loss of consciousness patients, CPR for suspicious cardiac arrest, keeping vein open for shock patients, AED for abnormal pulse rate, AED for suspicious cardiac arrest, and AED for loss of consciousness. Age and duty periods were statistically significant influential factors on the CPR-AED component. Conclusion: The results indicate that the PENs were competent in overall prehospital emergency activities and procedures even some weak self-evaluations, and that the standard curriculum and practice standard for prehospital nursing should be developed in order to increase nursing leadership in prehospital emergency settings.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the status of health management and to evaluate the need for health professionals in day care centers in the South Korea. Method: Data were obtained from 360 child care providers in 16 provinces from May to August, 2007. Data was analyzed using SPSS WIN 14.0. Results: Safety education (traffic. 83.8% general safety. 71.6%) was provided more often than the other topic of education. All health related education was provided by child care providers. When minor health problems occurred, the most common management strategy was to send the child home (36.1%). During emergency conditions, majority of child care providers preferred taking the children to medical centers without giving any emergency care and 19.4% reported sending the child home without any immediate care. Child care providers recognized the need for health care professionals. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest the need for services of health professionals in day care centers to satisfy the needs and expectations for health management in these centers. As health professionals, public health nurses or pediatric nurse practitioners may play an important role in health management of children in day care centers.

Purpose: Trauma is one of the leading causes of death, especially among young people. Life-threatening conditions are very common in multiple-traumatized patients due to concurrent multi-organ injuries. Treating such severely injured patients is time critical. However, in Korea, the transfer of severely injured patients is not uncommon due to the lack of a mature trauma care system. In developed countries, the preventable trauma death rate is very low, but the rate is still very high in Korea. This study's objective was to demonstrate the current serious state in which severely injured patients have to be transferred from a Regional Emergency Medical Center even though it actually serves as a trauma center. Methods: Ajou University Medical Center is a tertiary hospital that serves as a trauma center in Gyeonggido. The medical records at Ajou University Medical Center for a 1-year period from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2008, were retrospectively reviewed. A severely injured patient was defined as a patient who showed more than 15 point on the ISS (injury severity score) scale. We investigated the clinical characteristics of such patients and the causes of transfer. Results: Out of 81,718 patients who visited the Regional Emergency Medical Center, 19,731 (24.1%) were injured patients. Among them, 108 severely-injured patients were transferred from one Regional Emergency Medical Center to other hospitals. The male-to-female ratio was about 3.5:1, and the mean ISS was 23.08. The most common mechanism of injury was traffic accidents (41.7%). A major cause of transfer was the shortage of intensive care units (44.4%); another was for emergent operation (27.8%). Most of the hospitals that received the severely-injured patients were secondary hospitals (86.1%). Conclusion: Although the Regional Emergency Medical Center played a role as a trauma center, actually, severely-injured patients had to be transferred to other hospitals for several reasons. Most reasons were related with the deficiencies in the trauma care system. If a mature trauma care system is well-organized, the numbers of transfer of severely injured patients will be reduced significantly.
