Abstract

This study was to measure the awareness of the patient safety culture of medical workers in various occupations working in hospitals and tried to be used as useful data. As a result of evaluating department (ward), hospital, immediate supervisor/manager, communication & procedures and frequency of accident reports, the patient safety accidents considered to be the most dangerous, technicians showed high results in the department(ward), nurses showed high results in the immediate supervisor/manager area. Radiological technologists and physical therapists recognized falls and clinical pathologists and nurses recognized before during after the test as the most dangerous patient safety accidents. To raise awareness of patient safety culture, executives and practitioners should create an atmosphere in which practitioners can prioritize patient safety, gain and manage appropriate personnel, manage cooperative systems between workers or departments.

최근 환자안전에 대한 관심이 점점 증가하고 환자안전 문제의 심각성이 대두되고 있는 시점에서 의료계의 환자안전에 관한 다양한 연구가 융합되어 많은 활동이 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 의료기관에서 근무하는 다양한 직종의 의료종사자들의 환자안전 문화에 대한 인식을 측정하고 유용한 지표로 활용되고자 시도하였다. 의료종사자 총 180명을 대상으로 부서(병동) 및 병원의 환자안전 문화 인식, 직속상관/관리자, 의사소통과 절차, 환자안전 사건보고, 가장 위험하다고 생각되는 환자안전 사고에 관해 평가한 결과, 부서(병동)의 환자안전 문화 인식 영역은 보건직, 직속상관/관리자 영역은 간호직이 높은 결과를 나타냈고, 방사선사와 물리치료사는 낙상, 임상병리사와 간호사는 검사 전 중 후 오류를 가장 위험한 환자안전 사고로 인식하였다. 따라서 환자안전 문화 인식을 높이기 위해 경영진 및 실무자는 적절한 인력 확보, 직원 간 또는 부서 간 협조 시스템 및 안전관리 활동에 필요한 동기 부여에 더 많은 노력을 기울여야 할 것이다.
