Abstract

Objectives: While there have recently been efforts to improve public health service at a governmental level, there is actually insufficient research on awareness of the roles related to public health service among hospital employees. This study examined role perception and function performance related to public health service among the medical staff in a national hospital. Methods: 15% were randomly sampled from each type of occupation among the medical staff in a national university hospital, a survey was conducted in 323 persons, and there were a total of 265 participants (80.2%): 103 doctors(38.9%), 98 nurses (37.0%), and 64 others (24.1%). Results: The hospital employees had insufficient awareness of their roles as public health service providers in terms of six required items for public health service: 1) services for supporting establishment, implementation, and assessment of public health service policies, 2) participation in the health service activities and support services by central or local governments, 3) technological support and educational services for private health service institutions, 4) health service for unprivileged brackets, 5) health service that requires association with other areas dealing with geriatric, disabled, and mentally-disordered people, and 6) health service for children and mothers. Conclusions: In general, since the hospital employees had insufficient awareness of their roles and responsibilities as public health service providers, it is necessary to secure manpower exclusively in charge of public health service and provide education about strategic public health service.

최근, 정부차원의 공공보건의료 개선을 위한 노력이 진행 중이지만 실제 의사, 간호사, 보건직등 의료기관 종사자들의 공공보건의료에 대한 역할의 필요성에 대한 인식과 책임감에 대한 조사는 부족한 실정이며 성공적인 공공보건의료의 역할 수행을 위해서는 모든 의료 종사자들의 역할 인식과 직종간의 유기적인 협력이 필요하다. 이에 일개 국립병원 의료 종사자들을 대상으로 공공보건의료에 대한 역할 인식과 기능수행에 대한 조사를 시행하였다. 일개 국립대학병원 직원을 직종별로 20%를 무작위 추출하여 323명을 대상으로 설문 조사를 시행하였다. 의사직 103명(38.9%), 간호직 98명(37.0%), 기타직 64명(24.1%) 등 총 265명(80.2%)이 참여하였다. 의료 종사자들은 공공보건의료시책의 수립 시행 및 평가 지원사업, 국가 또는 지방자치단체의 보건의료 활동에의 참여 및 지원사업, 민간보건의료기관에 대한 기술지원 및 교육사업, 취약계층에 대한 보건의료, 노인, 장애인, 정신 질환자 등 타 분야와의 연계가 필수적인 보건의료, 아동과 모성에 대한 보건의료 등 공공보건의료의 필수적인 6가지 항목에 대하여 공공보건의료 기관으로서의 역할 인식이 부족하였다. 반면 주요 질병관리사업, 공공보건의료에 관한 전문적인 연구 및 검사사업, 보건의료인의 교육훈련사업, 전염병 예방 및 관리, 응급환자의 진료, 민간보건의료기관이 담당하기 어려운 예방보건의료 등 6 가지 항목에 대해서는 중요하게 인식하고 있었다. 대체적으로 보건의료기관 종사자의 공공보건의료기관으로서 역할과 책임의식에 대한 인식이 부족하며 앞으로 공공병원의 공공성 강화를 위하여 공공보건의료 전담인력 확보와 계획적인 공공보건사업에 대한 교육이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
