Purpose: This study was a qualitative study done to investigate the experience of role conflict by physician assistant nurses. Methods: The basis for this study was qualitative research using the phenomenological method. Research participants were 10 physician assistant nurses. Data collection methodology was in-depth interviews. The interviews were conducted 1 to 2 times and each interview lasted within the range of 45 minutes to 2 hours. The data collection and analysis were carried out simultaneously and the Colaizzi (1978) methodology was adopted for data analysis. Results: The results showed 46 significant statements, 13 meaningful statements, 7 themes, and 3 clusters of themes. The 3 clusters of themes were: 'Identity conflict', 'Relationship role conflict' and 'Institutional role conflict'. Conclusion: The findings from this study suggest that legal status guarantees have to be prepared in order to resolve the role conflict of physician assistant nurses.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effects of emotional intelligence and self-leadership on job satisfaction among physician assistant nurses. Methods: The participants were 146 physician assistant nurses working at two university hospitals. Data were collected from August 1-September 31, 2020 and analyzed through t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS/WIN version 26.0. Results: Factors affecting job satisfaction were self-leadership (β=.30, p=.003), "less than 1 year of experience as a physician assistant nurse" (β=.27, p=.025), and emotional intelligence (β=.25, p=.007), and the explanatory power was 34.4% (F=6.03, p<.001). Conclusion: Our study shows that self-leadership and emotional intelligence play a significant role in the job satisfaction of physician assistant nurses; thus, strengthening these two factors is crucial to improve the nurses' job satisfaction. The results of this study may serve as basic data for the development of strategies to enhance job satisfaction among physician assistant nurses.

본 연구는 전담간호사의 운영현황 및 업무 실태를 전수조사 하여 전담간호사 관련 정책 수립의 기초 자료를 제공하기 위해 시도되었다. 총 318개의 종합병원 이상의 의료기관 부서장에게 설문조사를 시행했고, 141개 병원에서 근무하는 704명의 전담간호사를 대상으로 2011년 4월부터 5월에 자료수집이 시행되었으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 12.0 program을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 전담간호사의 평균연령은 32.5세이며, 교육수준은 대졸이 가장 많았고, 전문간호사 자격증 보유자는 13.4%이었고, 전담간호사의 전반적인 업무 만족도는 5점 만점에 평균 3.13점이었으며, 불명확한 업무 구분이 전담간호사를 가장 힘들게 하는 요인으로 나타났다. 전담간호사 역할정립을 위해 업무에 대한 법적 보호 장치 마련(5점 만점에 평균 4.71)이 가장 시급한 것으로 나타났다. 현재 전담간호사 실태는 열악한 근무환경으로 인한 낮은 만족도, 부적합한 자격과 업무에 대한 법적 보호장치가 마련되어 있지 않은 속에서 어려움을 겪고 있다. 향후 전담간호사의 활용도를 향상시키기 위해 전담간호사를 법적으로 보호할 수 있는 장치를 마련하고, 교육 프로그램을 개설하며, 한국 실정에 맞는 전담간호사 제도 확립이 절실하다고 할 수 있겠다.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the nationwide operational status of the professional medical support staffs (PMSS) who practice the expanded roles in the hospital setting. Methods: The data were obtained through survey from 36 hospitals with over 500 beds from 25th May to 12th July 2016. Data from 1,666 PMSS were analyzed. Results: Since the job titles varied, we classified them into 5 groups according to their roles; advanced practice nurse, clinical nurse expert, PA (physician assistant), coordinator, and others. There were differences in the operation status of PMSSs depending on the region, nurse staffing grade and number of hospital beds. Qualification criteria varied from hospital to hospital, and almost half of the hospitals didn't have any qualification standards for them. There were differences in age, educational level, clinical careers, rewards, and job satisfaction in 5 groups. Especially PA group had low salary, poorer working conditions, more difficulties in performing their work, and lower job satisfaction than other groups. Most PMSS (99.5%) were using a delegated prescription authority, however only 68.3% had job description and 19.9% had documented delegated role. Conclusion: Adequate training curriculum, documented delegated roles, and the protocols for legal protection and efficient medical services are needed.

본 연구는 전담간호사의 직장 내 괴롭힘과 소진, 감성지능의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 시도되었다. 연구 대상자로 5개 시, 도 소재의 19개 병원에 근무하고 있는 전담간호사 150명을 대상으로 자료수집을 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 직장 내 괴롭힘 피해경험이 있는 전담간호사는 20.7%이었으며 직장 내 괴롭힘의 목격은 54.7%로 나타났다. 직장 내 괴롭힘은 2.14점(4점 만점), 소진 3.22점(7점 만점), 감성지능은 4.88점(7점 만점)으로 나타났으며 상관관계 분석결과 전담간호사의 직장 내 괴롭힘이 높을수록 소진의 정도가 높아졌고, 감성지능이 높을수록 소진의 정도가 낮아졌다. 그러므로 전담간호사의 소진을 낮추기 위해 직장 내 괴롭힘을 감소시키고 감성지능을 높일 수 있는 프로그램의 개발이 필요할 것이다.

Background. Adequate staffing is necessary to meet patient care needs and provide safe, quality nursing care. In November 1999, the Korean government implemented a new staffing policy that differentiates nursing fees for inpatients based on nurse-to-bed ratios. The purpose was to prevent hospitals from delegating nursing care to family members of patients or paid caregivers, and ultimately deteriorating the quality of nursing care services. Purpose. To examine nurse staffing levels and related factors including hospital, nursing and medical staff, and financial characteristics. Methods. A cross-sectional design was employed using two administrative databases, Medical Care Institution Database and Medical Claims Data for May 1-31, 2002. Nurse staffing was graded from 1 to 6, based on grading criteria of nurse-to-bed ratios provided by the policy. The study sample consisted of 42 tertiary and 186 general acute care hospitals. Results. None of tertiary or general hospitals gained the highest nurse staffing of Grade 1 (i.e., less than 2 beds per nurse in tertiary hospitals; less than 2.5 beds per nurse in general hospitals). Two thirds of the general hospitals had the lowest staffing of Grade 6 (i.e., 4 or more beds per nurse in tertiary hospitals; 4.5 or more beds per nurse in general hospitals). Tertiary hospitals were better staffed than general hospitals, and private hospitals had higher staffing levels compared to public hospitals. Large-sized general hospitals located in metropolitan areas had higher staffing than other general hospitals. Occupancy rate was positively related to nurse staffing. A negative relationship between nursing assistant and nurse staffing was found in general hospitals. A greater number of physician specialists were associated with better nurse staffing. Conclusions. The staffing policy needs to be evaluated and modified to make it more effective in leading hospitals to increase nurse staffing.

Objectives: Because recently hospital had to faced with financial hardship, we have to have more effective hospital management. The purpose of this study was to reduce loss costs of the hospital through the systematic management of medical supplies and increase operational efficiency. Methods: The team was composed of outpatient nursing staff, medical record administrator, nurses in medical insurance, medical computer center, dermatologists for this study. We surveyed for 114 people including outpatient nursing staff, nurse aids, medical assistant, physician assistant. Pre-survey period was 2013.03.11 ~ 03.30(2 weeks), and post-survey period was 2013.09.03 ~ 09.17(2 weeks). Result: We improved this way through the computational improvement, conservation campaigns, inventory management, staff training, replaced by low-cost medical supplies. The finding of this study were as follows: Comparing before and after the activity of outpatient nursing staff's degree of knowledge, performance, economic consciousness, the degree of knowledge, performance was increased, but there was no significant change in economic consciousness. Performance of Married person is higher than the unmarried, In addition, the high-position people were more the degree of knowleage, economic consciousness. After activity, correlation of goods and treatment, examinations is increasing, but statistically there was no mean. Conclusion: This study revealed that knowledge in a short period of activity, but also can improve, perform the same change in behavior is not easy. This one shows the intensive training required to sustained and systematic behavioral changes, such as changes in behavior, perform rituals to help the economy. Expensive medical supplies to replace a similar effect as the cost of materials just to have a lot of cost savings. Therefore, more medical supplies change is necessary to develop alternative treatment and cost cutting.
