This research proposed a design direction for the ambulance interior storage space based on the placement and access to the equipment to facilitate an emergency medical practice taking into account the safety and efficiency by the emergency medical technician ergonomic factors. Therefore, through a field survey for the current derivation of the storage space problem 'placement', 'enable', 'management' like these three items resulting clarity, accessibility, simplicity and functionality of the four functional elements by targeting ambulances in operation in this country. First, there is a need to improve standardized of cabinet sizes fit to loaded meet emergency equipment standards. Currently, the equipment designed to use a simple storage cabinet has had problems in the usability. Second, it must be located in the continuous exposure in progress to the user's traffic line. Third, the problem was the insufficient function of the cabinet to ensure the safety of patients by paramedics from the emergency rescue equipment and due to the leaning of the ambulance driving. Besides, it was pointed out that in addition to the proposed alternatives, including the agenda, states that safety belt replacement equipment, emergency personnel and patients with the handle of a guardian for the efficient use storage space within the 119 ambulance. However, in the present study suggest that there is a state proceeds mainly limited usability in the field, having been installed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data for the ergonomic design of first-aid activity space(FAS) for a future ambulance suitable for the performance of 119 EMT. Methods: Questionnaire was filled out by the 124 EMT in 119 centers. The questionnaire consisted of 3 sub factors including the satisfaction and compatibility of the FAS. The satisfaction and compatibility was analyzed based on characteristics of the subjects. Results: The satisfaction rate of the FAS within the ambulance was an average of 2.23, and the compatibility category got an overall average score of 2.26. The lowest ranked criteria in the satisfaction and compatibility factor was the functionality of storage space showing 1.93 and 1.88, respectively. The best position of the paramedic seat was the top side of the patient, near the head, which is suitable for patient assessment and treatment. Conclusion: During patient transportation of 119 EMTs, for efficient work process, a layout design of the FAS should be based on ergonomics that satisfied the performance function.

구급차는 병원 전 응급의료서비스의 중요한 요소이며, 119 구급대원의 업무능률 향상을 위한 중요한 공간이다. 구급대원들이 직무능력을 최대한 발휘할 수 있도록 구급차 내부의 환경을 최적의 공간으로 하여 구급대원들의 책임과 기능적 역할을 제공할 수 있도록 개선되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 구급차의 내부 공간에서 환자실에 탑재되어야 하는 응급의료 장비와 약제의 탑재 공간 확보 및 구급차 내에서의 응급처치에 따른 원활한 공간의 배치를 재구성하였으며, 환자의 위치와 응급처치 요원의 배치에 따른 공간 배정에 대한 분석 및 효율적 방법을 제시하고 있다. 또한 본 연구는 구급차 주행 중 처치공간에서 수행하는 119 구급대원 업무의 효율성을 향상시키기 위한 구급대원의 직무수행에 적합한 구급차 내부 수납공간의 디자인 설계 및 사용 환경에 대한 파악 및 문제점 분석을 통하여 응급의료서비스에 대한 안전성과 효율성을 제공하기 위한 새로운 환자실 공간 크기 및 디자인 안을 제시하고자 한다.
