Abstract

This study aims to identify and understand nurses' experience on patient safety accidents in general hospital. The qualitative research method was used to analyze the daily life of seven nurses who had experienced nursing safety accidents directly or indirectly in general hospitals. The nurses' experiences were divided into 7 categories and 24 subordinate properties and 7 categories were "unexpected experience", "missing caused by negligence", "facing the anxiety", "difficult of loneliness", "resignation from the hospital", "entering into conflict" and "being practiced a nurse". The results of this study will contribute to the establishment of policies for safety accidents in hospitals and also it will help to make a practical improvement plan to prevent the patient safety accident at the clinical site.

본 연구의 목적은 병원에서 환자의 안전사고에 대한 간호사의 경험을 확인하고 이해하기 위함이다. 질적연구 방법을 활용하여 병원에서 직접 또는 간접적으로 안전사고를 경험한 7명의 간호사가 일상생활에서 겪는 경험을 분석하였다. 그 결과 환자안전사고의 경험은 7가지 필수 주제와 24가지 속성으로 도출되었다. 7가지 필수 주제는 "예상하지 못한 경험을 하게 됨", "소홀하게 생각해 놓침", "당면하는 불안감", "홀로 감당해야 하는 어려움", "직장을 떠나게 됨", "분쟁에 휘말리게 됨", "성숙한 간호사가 되어감"이었다. 본 연구의 결과는 병원에서 환자의 안전사고에 대한 정책 수립에 기여할 것이며 실제 임상 현장에서 환자안전사고 예방에 실질적 개선 방안을 마련하는데 도움을 줄 것이다.
