Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a direction for future studies based on the analysis of the articles published in the Korean Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care from 1998 to 2012. A total of 240 articles (51 reviews, 189 original) were examined in three five-year groups. Categories of analysis include authors' background (profession, region) and general characteristics and qualitative aspects of the original paper (participants, topic, study design, data analysis, ethical consideration, multidisciplinary approach, research funds and sample size estimation). While the journal publishes more of articles than before, it is mainly due to the increase in the number of review articles, not original articles. As for study topics, healthcare industry and physical symptoms were most frequently studied. The disparity in authors' regional background is fading, and more articles are published by nurses than before. Moreover, more studies are funded while fewer papers tend to adopt a multidisciplinary approach or focus on care givers. Also, in terms of a study design, the number of experimental and methodological studies has slightly increased. In the qualitative aspect, studies considered ethical issues and collected participation consent, and fewer studies reported an estimated sample size. In data analysis, post-adjustment comparison decreased, and new analytical methods are increasingly used. Our results indicate the need to conduct research with more extensive scientific data in various fields of hospice and palliative care.

본 고는 지난 15년간 한국 호스피스 완화의료학회지에 발표된 논문의 내용과 경향을 파악함으로써 향후 연구의 방향을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 1998년부터 2012년까지 총 240편(종설 51편, 원저 189편)의 논문을 5년 단위로 분류하여 살펴보았다. 분석틀에는 저자 정보(지역 및 직종)와 논문 정보(대상자, 주제, 설계유형, 분석방법, 윤리적 고려, 다학제 접근, 연구기금 수혜, 그리고 표본수 산정)를 포함하였다. 게재논문의 총 편수는 갈수록 증가하고 있으나 이는 종설의 증가에 따른 것으로 원저의 게재 증가는 매우 미미하였다. 연구 주제는 보건사업과 신체증상에 관한 것이 가장 많았고, 저자의 지역간 편차는 해소되었으며, 직종에서는 간호사의 논문 편수 증가가 두드러졌다. 연구기금 수혜 논문은 증가하고 있었고, 다학제간 접근과 보호자를 대상으로 한 연구는 줄어드는 추세를 보였으며, 연구설계에서는 실험연구와 방법론적 연구가 미약한 증가세를 보였다. 질적 측면에서는, 윤리적 고려나 연구참여 동의를 받는 연구가 증가하였고, 표본수 추정을 한 연구는 미약하게 증가하였으며, 통계기법에서는 보정 후 비교법이 줄어드는 추세였지만, 새로운 통계기법의 사용은 증가하였다.
