Abstract

This study is aimed at understanding the factors affecting rehospitalization of a tuberculosis patient. In a public hospital with a tuberculosis ward in Seoul, the data of 360 patients who discharged the hospital from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. Data was selected from 'nursing information survey' or 'discharge analysis DB' of the department of medical records. The possibility of rehospitalization was higher in the group with those who has no job, those with medical care assistant than with health insurance, drinks about 10 times a month, personally came to the hospital, main guardian is the patient's spouse, have discharged from hospital against the doctor's advise, and principle diagnosis is not a pulmonary tuberculosis but the other respiratory disease. Therefore, it is expected that the possibility of rehospitalization would be effectively reduced if an intensive intervention is taken on the first hospitalized patients who have the features described above.

본 연구의 목적은 결핵환자 재입원에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는 것이다. 결핵병동을 보유하고 있는 서울소재 1개 공공병원에서 2012년 7월 1일부터 2012년 12월 31일 사이 결핵병동에서 퇴원한 환자 총 360명을 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 자료는 '간호정보조사지'에서 추출하거나 병원 의무기록부서의 '퇴원분석정보 DB'를 활용하였다. 연구결과 직업이 없을 때, 의료급여가입자, 월 10일 이내로 술을 마실 때, 입원경로가 직접내원일 때, 주보호자가 환자의 배우자일 때, 자의퇴원일 때, 폐결핵이 아닌 다른 호흡기계 질환이 주진단인 경우에 재입원 가능성이 더 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 처음 결핵환자가 입원했을 때부터 이 경우에 해당하는 환자에 대해 집중적으로 중재를 실시한다면 재입원을 보다 효과적으로 줄일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
