Abstract

Purpose: The survey was aimed to provide basic data to develop a certification system for hospice and palliative care professionals. Methods: National Cancer Center (NCC) and the Korean Society for Hospice & Palliative Care (KSHPC) conducted the survey for hospice and palliative care professionals who worked at 34 Palliative care units designated by the Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Family Affairs (MW) and the members of the KSHPC. The survey was conducted via e-mail from June 17 to 23, 2009. Total 220 professionals were surveyed. Results: Most of the hospice and palliative care professionals reported a great need for certification system: Physician, 90% (n=51) nurse, 84% (n=134) social worker, 89% (n=35). In regard with the requirement for the certification, a majority of physicians (46%) preferreddiploma course, while social workers (46%) preferred training course for medical social workers. Concerning the certification body, physician (45%) preferred the KSHPC and the MW almost equally, while nurses (50%) and social workers (60%) preferred the MW highly. As for the body to develop and accredit advance training course for each professionals, most of the physicians (51%) preferred the KSHPC, whereas nurses and social workers preferred collaboration of the MW (or NCC) with the professional society, such as the KSHPC (23%), the Korean Hospice & Palliative nurses association for nurses (21%), or the Korean association of (medical) social workers (37%). Lastly, all respondents preferred the course format of once a week, full day, and some field study at weekend. Conclusion: Korean hospice and palliative care professionals identified the great need for the certification system, therefore, the adequate system development must be followed to reflect their voice.

목적: 호스피스 완화의료 전문인력의 질 관리를 위해 요구되는 자격인증체계 마련을 위해 전문인력들을 대상으로 자격인증체제의 필요성 및 구체적 방안에 대한 설문조사결과를 분석 제시하여 제도 마련의 기초자료로 삼고자 하였다. 방법: 국립암센터와 한국 호스피스 완화의료학회에서는 2009년 6월 17일부터 23일까지, 보건복지가족부지정 34개 암환자 완화의료기관에 등록된 전문인력인 의사, 간호사, 사회복지사, 성직자와 한국 호스피스 완화의료학회 회원들을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 그 중 총 220명이 설문에 참여하였다. 결과: 의사는 90% (46/51)가 자격인증이 필요하다고 하였고, 간호사는 84% (113/134), 사회복지사의 경우 89% (31/35)가 자격인증이 필요하다고 하였다. 자격인증 방안에 관해서는 의사의 경우 일정한 교육만 받으면 인정의 자격을 부여해 주는 방법을 가장 선호하였고(46%), 사회복지사의 경우도 일정교육을 받은 의료사회복지사에게 자격을 부여하는 것을 가장 선호하였다. 자격인증 주체에 있어서는 의사의 경우 한국 호스피스 완화의료학회 또는 보건복지가족부가 주체가 되어야 한다는 의견이 각각 45%로 가장 많았고, 간호사와 사회복지사의 경우 보건복지가족부가 주체가 되어야 한다는 응답이 각각 50%, 66%로 가장 높았다. 교육프로그램개발 및 인정주체에 관한 의견으로는 의사의 경우 한국 호스피스 완화의료학회가 51%로 가장 높았고, 간호사의 경우 보건복지가족부(또는 국립암센터)와 한국 호스피스 완화의료학회가 함께 주체가 되어야 한다는 의견이 23%로 가장 높았다. 사회복지사의 경우 보건복지가족부(또는 국립암센터)와 대한의료사회복지사협회가 주체가 되어야 한다는 의견이 37%로 가장 많았다. 마지막으로 교육운영방식은 세 직종 모두 주말을 이용한 강의와 일부 실습이 결합된 형태를 가장 선호하였다. 결론: 국내 호스피스 완화의료 전문인력은 자격인증체제에 대한 높은 요구도를 가지고 있으며, 각 직종별요구를 반영하는 적절한 자격인증체제 및 교육프로그램개발이 시급하다.
