A survey of was conducted with 131 nurses who were working in 15 geriatric hospitals using a structural questionnaire.

This survey confirmed that the 88 activities except to 'making nursing diagnosis', 'setting nursing goals', and 'writting patient evaluation checklist' had been practiced in a wide range of nurses with nurse assistants. The degree of performance by nurse assistant was significantly different among nurses group according to the total number of patient and number of nurse(p<.001). Therefore, it is necessary to establish the legal and institutional regulation and development of algorithm for delegation, classify the impossible nursing task and work that can be delegated long-term care hospital.

본 연구는 요양병원의 간호 인력의 간호행위 수행 실태를 파악한 조사연구이다. 연구 자료는 설문지를 이용하여 15곳의 요양병원에 근무하는 131명의 간호사를 대상으로 2013년 3월 7일부터 6월 30일까지 수집하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 17.0프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계 및 t-test, ANOVA를 시행하였다. '간호진단하기', '간호목표 설정하기', '환자평가표 작성'을 제외한 88항목의 간호행위를 다양한 범위 내에서 간호사와 간호조무사가 함께 수행하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 기관의 총 환자 수와 간호사 수에 따라 간호조무사의 간호업무 수행정도는 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.001). 따라서 요양병원의 간호업무 중 위임할 수 있는 업무와 위임할 수 없는 업무를 분류하고, 위임에 대한 알고리즘 개발이 필요하며, 위임에 대한 법적, 제도적 규정을 마련할 필요가 있다.
