Female nurses in Korea have historically experienced discrimination on the basis of their gender as part of the traditional society views on woman and as a result of the male dominated hospital environments. This discrimination may interfere with the ability of female nurses to promote the health of their patients. To better understand this bias, we collected and analyzed 16 cases of alleged sexual discrimination reported by female nurses with more than 5 years work experience. The cases were classified into 10 subjects and further into 4 categories: personnel administration, daily working environment, female gender bias, and health care delivery. There were 7 cases (11.3%) of unjust personnel changes consisting of demotion(1), termination(4), and reallocation of position(3). Twenty three (37.1%) of cases related to problems in the daily workplace including biases in communication between female nurses and male physicians(12), daily work(8), and responsibility for adverse outcomes(3). We noted 17 cases (27.4%) of female gender bias as reported by female nurses(7), female physicians(7), and female patients(3). Lastly, there were 15 (24.3%) cases of problems with health care delivery due to sexual discrimination, including enrollment in the health care system(4),and decisions regarding medical care(4). These results suggest that sexual discrimination towards women is pervasive in the Korea hospitals, not only towards female nurses but also towards female physicians and patients. More discriminatory practices in a timely fashion such that better nursing care can be provided to patients and their families.

Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the impact of job stress on low back symptoms among Clinical nurses (CNs) in university hospital. Methods: A total of 322 CNs employed in a hospital in Seoul were interviewed by a well-trained interviewer using the structured questionnaire. Data collected for this study includes demographics, social and work characteristics, low back symptoms, and job stress. To test the impact of job stress on low back symptoms, we used multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of low back symptoms was 25.8% in this study. Low back symptoms differed significantly by factors, such as physical work burden, past history of injury and work duration. Also low back symptoms differed significantly by organizational system among independent variables of job stress. In a multiple logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio of organizational system to low back symptoms was 2.07 after an adjustment. Conclusion: This study showed that organizational system among job stress was a significant variable in explaining low back symptoms. We suggest the improvement of organizational system category as a preventive strategy for low back pain in CNs working in hospital.

결혼이주를 통한 외국여성의 국내이주가 증가하면서 다양한 질병 및 출산으로 인한 의료기관 방문기회가 증가하고 있으며 의료관광 등 외국인 환자의 국내 의료기관 이용이 활발해 지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 외국인 환자의 증가에 발맞추어 여성전문병원 간호사를 대상으로 외국인 환자에 대한 인식과 돌봄 현황을 파악해 보고자 하였으며 세부적으로 임상현장에서 외국인 산모에게 돌봄을 제공하는 임상간호사의 경험을 파악해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 질적연구방법 중 서사연구 연구방법을 적용하여 다문화 환자 및 자녀를 돌본 경력이 5년 이상인 임상간호사 10명을 대상으로 심층 면담을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 외국인 환자를 돌본 임상간호사의 경험은 돌봄제공자의 시각에 따라 자민족중심 시각, 수용적 시각, 그리고 문화중심시각으로 나누어 각 시각에 따라 제공되는 간호의 질을 파악해내었다. 특히 타문화에 대한 존중 및 환자 맞춤형 돌봄이 제공되고 있는 경우 돌봄제공자는 스스로를 치료적 돌봄제공자로 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 의료현장에서는 타문화에 대한 민감성과 문화중심 돌봄의 필요성에 대한 자각과 교육이 지속적으로 강화되어질 필요가 있다.
