Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate nursing home caregivers' safety knowledge, safety attitude and safety performance; then to analyze the relations between them, and to find the factors influencing the caregivers' safety performance. The study method was conducted by using SPSS WIN 21.0 program of 134 questionnaires surveyed in S city. A positive correlation was found with caregivers' safety knowledge and safety attitude. Additionally safety attitude has positive correlation with safety performance. No correlation was found between safety knowledge and safety performance. These influential factors explained their safety practice behavior 36.1%. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to establish a policy that can form a proper safety culture in the nursing home as well as repetitive training centered on practices that can affect the safety performance of caregivers.

본 연구는 노인요양시설에서 근무하는 요양보호사를 대상으로 안전에 대한 지식, 태도 및 안전수행의 관계를 확인하고 안전수행 능력을 향상 시킬 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구 참여자는 S시 소재 노인요양시설에서 근무하는 요양보호사 134명을 대상으로 실시 하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS WIN 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 실수, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA, 피어슨 상관관계, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 요양보호사의 안전에 대한 태도와 안전수행, 안전에 대한 지식과 태도는 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었으나 안전에 대한 지식과 안전수행은 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 요양보호사의 안전수행에 영향을 미치는 요인은 안전에 대한 태도였으며 설명력은 36.1%이었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 요양보호사의 안전수행에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 실무중심의 반복적 교육이 필할 뿐 아니라 노인요양시설 내 올바른 안전문화를 형성할 수 있는 정책 수립도 필요하다.
