Methods: Data were collected from eighteen general medical-surgical nurses working at a university hospital in Seoul, Korea. This study involved two focus group discussions and three in-depth individual interviews. All interviews were recorded and transcribed as they were spoken, and data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: General medical-surgical nurses experienced difficulties in 3 categories, 9 subcategories, 27 codes. The three categories were 'nurse' related factors, 'patient' related factors, 'resource' related factors. The nine categories were 'unpreparedness', 'nursing barriers due to stigma', 'undervaluing and avoidance of psychiatric nursing', 'eroding into the trap of a vicious cycle', 'facing unapproachable patients', 'dealing with unhelpful family members', 'burdening already overburdened staff', 'obstructive environment', and 'isolation of staff with heavy responsibilities'. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate the need to develop psychiatric mental health education programs for non-psychiatric nurses. Education about psychiatric mental health and support from institutions for non-psychiatric nurses can reduce their negative attitude toward psychiatric patients and difficulties in caring for psychiatric patients.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 지역사회 공무원의 정신건강지식 및 정신건강사업에 대한 인식을 알아보기 위해 시행된 서술적 조사연구이다. 조사대상자는 강원도 3개 군에 근무하는 공무원 273명을 대상으로 시행하였으며, 구조화된 설문지를 통해 2018년 7월 1일부터 8월 15일까지 자료를 수집하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구결과 공무원의 정신건강지식은 101.45점(범위 35-160)이었다. 정신건강지식정도는 직업, 정신건강 교육 유무, 정신건강 치료경험 유무, 가족의 정신건강 치료경험 유무에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 정신건강사업에 대한 인식으로 정신건강복지센터에 대해 알고 있는지에 대해 응답자의 39.9%가 이름정도만 알고 있다고 응답하였으며, 확대해야 할 정신건강서비스는 우울 등 조기발견 서비스가 35.9%로 가장 많았다. 정신건강사업으로 인한 지역사회의 변화에 대해 약간 좋아지고 있다는 응답자가 44.7%로 가장 많았다. 조사대상자들의 정신건강복지센터에 대한 인식과 정신건강 지식 점수와의 관계를 분석한 결과 정신건강지식점수에 따라 정신건강복지센터에 대한 사전지식 유무와 정신건강 관리를 위한 정부의 관리투자에 관한 문항은 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났으므로(p=.012) 지역사회 공무원들의 정신건강지식을 향상시키기 위해 정신건강간호사를 활용한 교육 프로그램의 개발을 제안한다.
