초록

목적: 본 연구는 보건소에 등록된 재가 호스피스 완화돌봄 대상자의 특성과 증상을 분석하는 것이다. 방법: 부산광역시 소재 6개구 보건소에 등록된 호스피스 완화돌봄 대상자 144명의 초기 방문기록지(호스피스대상자 등록카드, 초기 통증평가지, 초기 통증 외 증상평가지)를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 대상자의 평균 연령은 67.7세이었으며, 혼자 사는 대상자가 46.2%, 교육정도는 중졸 이하가 65%였다. 종교는 불교가 36.3%로 가장 많았고, 47.5%가 의료급여 대상자였다. 진단명은 폐암, 위암, 간암의 순이었고, 기능 상태는 일상생활이 어려운 경우가 48.9%로 나타났다. 등록 당시 암 치료 중인 대상자는 39.6%이었고, 84.5%가 말기상태를 인지하고 있었다. 대상자들의 83.6%에서 통증을 호소하였으며, 그 중 36.5%에서 중간정도 이상의 통증을 호소하였다. 통증 외 증상에서 가장 많은 대상자가 호소하는 증상으로는 피로(84.7%)였으며, 피로를 호소하는 대상자의 49.3%가 중증의 증상을 호소하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구결과 재가 호스피스 완화돌봄 대상자들은 사회경제적 취약군으로, 중간정도 이상의 통증과 통증 외 증상을 호소하는 대상자가 많았다. 따라서 재가 호스피스 완화돌봄 대상자의 효율적인 관리를 위해서는 대상자 특성에 따른 차별화된 통합적 전략이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study was aimed at analyzing the characteristics and symptoms in home-based hospice-palliative care (HBHPC) patients registered at local public health centers. Methods: A retrospective study was performed; Data of 144 HBHPC patients registered at six public health centers in Pusan City were analyzed, including their initial visit records (registration cards, initial pain evaluation and symptom evaluation). Results: The average age of the patients was 67.7 years old. Among all, 46.2% of the patient lived alone, and 65% had middle school education or lower. The most popular (36.3%) religion was Buddhism, and 47.5% received medical assistance from the government. The most frequent diagnosis was lung cancer followed by stomach cancer and liver cancer in that order. Of all, 48.9% were functionally too weak to lead a daily life, 39.6% were under cancer treatment when registered at the public health center, and 84.5% were aware of the fact that they have reached the terminal phase. Moreover, 83.6% complained about pain, and the pain level was moderate or severe in 36.5% of them. Besides pain, fatigue was the most complained symptom (84.7%), and 49.3% of them rated their fatigue as moderate or severe. Conclusion: Most of the HBHPC patients were socio-economically underprivileged and complained about moderate or worse pain and symptoms. Therefore, it appears necessary to develop an integrated strategy that is tailored for each patient reflecting their characteristics.
