초록

본 연구의 목적은 체계적 문헌고찰을 통해 국내 급성기 병원 간호인력 배치 수준과 환자 건강 결과 간의 관계에 대한 연구를 체계적으로 평가하기 위함이다. 2009년 1월부터 2018년 12월까지 CINAHL, Pubmed, EBSCOhost, RISS, Dbpia 데이터베이스에 출판된 급성기 병원 간호인력 배치 수준과 환자 건강 결과 간의 관계에 대한 연구를 검색하였다. 국내 급성기 병원 간호 인력 배치 수준과 환자 건강 결과에 대한 관계를 파악한 연구 13편을 체계적으로 고찰하였다. 대부분의 연구에서 국내 급성기 병원의 간호 인력 배치 수준이 높을수록 환자 건강 결과가 제고됨을 확인하였다. 하지만, 몇몇 연구에서는 간호 인력과 환자 건강 결과 간의 유의한 관계가 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 이처럼 일관되지 않은 연구 결과는 연구들마다 서로 다른 측면의 간호 인력과 환자 건강 결과를 측정했기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 이는 이와 관련한 지속적인 연구가 필요함을 시사한다. 환자 건강결과 향상을 위해 적정 수준의 환자 대 간호사 비율을 산정하고 이를 바탕으로 간호사들을 배치하는 전략 및 가이드라인을 세우기 위한 지속적인 노력이 필요하다.

The purpose of this review was to systematically assess empirical studies on the relationship between nurse staffing and patient outcomes through systematic literature review. Peer-reviewed articles published between January 2009 and December 2018 were identified in CINAHL, Pubmed, EBSCOhost, RISS, and Dbpia databases. A total of 13 articles relating to nurse staffing and patient outcomes in Korea were systematically reviewed and analyzed. The review showed that better nurse staffing aligned with better patient outcomes. However, some studies did not directly correlate patient outcomes with nurse staffing. This is because each study examined varied aspects of nurse staffing and different patient outcomes. These inconsistent study results indicate that continuous study is required. There should be continued efforts to establish guidelines and strategies for deploying nurse staff by maintaining optimal patient-to-nurse ratio.
