Abstract

Purpose: As a part of analysis of home-based cancer patients management of public health centers, regional cancer center, and hospice institution in Jeju, this study was undertaken to establish their role. Methods: We investigated current status of hospice palliative care, especially home-based cancer patients management and summary demand of public health centers. Results: Services provided through the home-based cancer patients management project included physical, emotional, spiritual and education/informative services, even though there was little difference between them. The result showed that in the view of patients there was little relationship between public health centers, regional cancer center and hospice palliative institution. Conclusion: The relationship between home-based cancer patients management and institutions should be reinforced. Patients in acute state and difficulty care of patients should be referred to regional cancer center whereas maintenance state of patients should be referred to public health center.

목적: 본 연구에서는 제주지역내의 보건소, 지역 암센터와 말기암환자 전문의료기관 등에서 실시하고 있는 재가암환자 관리 사업의 객관적 현황을 파악하여 각 기관별의 재가암 관리를 위한 역할을 정립하고자 한다. 방법: 제주지역에서 재가암환자 관리를 실시하고 있는 각 기관을 대상으로 재가암환자 관리 사업의 시작연도와 현재 실시하고 있는 사업과 부족한 부분 등을 알아보고, 각 기관과의 연관사업 등을 파악하였다. 결과: 제주지역내의 재가암환자 관리는 6개의 보건소와 1개의 지역 암센터, 1개의 말기암환자 전문의료기관이 활동 중에 있으며, 제공되는 서비스는 약간의 차이는 있으나, 신체적, 정서적, 영적, 교육 정보적 서비스를 실시하고 있으나 보건소의 경우, 통증완화를 위한 마약성 진통제의 사용이 부족한 실정이었다. 결론: 본 연구는 재가암환자 관리 사업에서 말기암환자 전문의료기관과 보건소에서 급성기의 경우와 재가암환자 관리를 위한 인력의 교육을 위한 교육은 지역 암센터와 연계하여 재가암환자에 대한 체계적인 관리와 역할 분담을 정립시켜야 할 것으로 생각된다.
