초록

만성질환으로 인한 진료비 부담과 사회적 자본의 손실은 전 세계적으로 문제가 되고 있으며, 만성질환의 예방과 관리를 위해 다양한 분야에서의 종합적이고 포괄적인 대책이 요구되고 있다. 만성질환 환자 건강 문제의 근본적인 원인 해결과 기존의 치료법을 지원하는 방법으로 사회적 처방이 효과적인 것으로 나타났는데 특히, 사회적 처방을 기반으로 자연과 녹지의 치유 효과를 활용한 녹색처방이 해외 여러 국가들에서 도입되고 있다. 녹색처방은 보건의료인이 환자에게 만성질환의 예방 및 관리의 목적으로 공원녹지에서의 활동이나 자연환경 체험을 권고하는 것을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 국가 체계 아래에서 녹색처방을 도입하여 운영 중인 영국과 미국 사례의 정책체계를 중심으로 녹색처방의 도입배경, 관련정책, 운영방식을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 국내에 녹색처방을 도입하기 위한 실효적인 계획을 수립할 수 있도록 시사점을 네 가지로 제안하였다. 첫째, 녹색처방의 정책 수립에 앞서 녹색처방에 대한 관심과 연구가 바탕이 되어야 한다. 둘째, 국가 보건의료체계에 맞는 실행계획 수립이 요구되며 정책상 계획이 뒷받침되어야 한다. 셋째, 장기적이고 점진적인 관점에서의 녹색처방 도입이 요구된다. 넷째, 녹색처방 제도 도입과 실행에 있어 전방위적 협력이 필요하다. 본 연구는 향후 국내 녹색처방 도입에 앞서 논의가 이루어지기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The burden of medical expenses and the loss of social capital due to chronic diseases are becoming problems worldwide, and comprehensive and inclusive measures across various fields are required to prevent and manage their impacts. Social prescriptions have been shown to be effective in resolving the fundamental causes of health problems in patients with chronic diseases and in supporting existing treatments. In particular, green prescriptions that utilize the healing effects of nature and green spaces based on social prescriptions are being introduced in many countries overseas. Green prescription is the practice of a healthcare provider recommending activities in green spaces or experiences in the natural environment to patients for the prevention and management of chronic diseases. This study analyzed cases focusing on the policy system, the cases of the United Kingdom and the United States, which have introduced and operated green prescriptions under a national system. For this purpose, this study compared the background of green prescription introduction, related policies, and operation methods. Based on this, four implications were proposed to establish an effective plan for introducing green prescriptions in Korea. First, prior to establishing a policy for green prescriptions, interest in and research on green prescriptions are essential. Second, an implementation plan that fits the national health care system should be established, and policies should support the plan. Third, the introduction of green prescriptions from a long-term and gradual perspective is required. Fourth, comprehensive cooperation is required for the introduction and implementation of the green prescription system. This study can be used as basic data for discussion before introducing green prescriptions in Korea in the future.
