Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the necessity of occupational therapist's involvement in patient discharge planning, the areas that should be considered for discharge screening and planning, and to provide the basic data required for the development of a discharge assessment tool. Methods : We conducted an online questionnaire survey of 60 occupational therapists who were working at medical institutions and had agreed to participate in the study. The questionnaire was composed of 36 questions regarding the general characteristics of the current discharge planning process and the necessity of discharge assessment and planning. Descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, and a one-way ANOVA were conducted using SPSS 20.0. As for the post-hoc test, Scheffe's test was used. Results : The awareness of occupational therapist's role in discharge planning and the necessity of a discharge assessment tool were high, but the occupational therapist's awareness of discharge-related knowledge was low. The difficulties in discharge planning showed high response rate in the absence of adequate fee-for-service in the patient interview and assessment and the lack of team approach and appropriate assessment tools for discharge planning. The high-needs areas for evaluation during discharge were fall risk and BADL, and the low-needs areas were well-being and functional level prior to onset. Conclusion : This study is expected to provide preliminary information necessary for the development of a discharge assessment tool for effective discharge planning.

목적 : 본 연구는 환자의 퇴원계획에 대한 작업치료사 개입의 필요성과 퇴원 스크리닝과 계획을 위해 고려되어야할 영역을 조사함으로써 효과적인 퇴원계획 실행을 위한 퇴원평가도구의 개발의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 실시되었다. 연구방법 : 연구 참여에 동의한 의료기관에서 근무하는 작업치료사 60명을 대상으로 온라인 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 설문 내용은 일반적 특성, 퇴원계획 현황, 퇴원평가와 퇴원계획 필요성, 총 36문항으로 구성되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, 독립표본 티 검증, 일원배치분산분석, 사후검증은 쉐페 검증으로 분석하였다. 결과 : 퇴원계획과 준비에 대한 작업치료사의 역할과 퇴원평가도구의 필요성에 대한 인식은 높게 나타났으나, 작업치료사의 퇴원 관련 지식 및 정보 보유에 대한 인식 정도는 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 퇴원계획중재 시 겪게 되는 어려움은 면담과 평가를 위한 적절한 수가의 부재, 퇴원계획을 위한 팀 접근의 부족, 퇴원계획을 위한 적절한 평가도구의 부재에 대한 응답이 높게 나타났다. 퇴원 시 평가의 필요성이 높은 영역은 낙상위험과 BADL수행으로 나타났으며, 평가의 필요성이 낮은 영역은 안녕감과 발병 전 기능수준으로 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구를 통해 퇴원계획에 대한 작업치료사 개입의 필요성을 파악할 수 있었으며, 향후 효과적인 퇴원계획 실행을 위한 퇴원평가도구 개발의 기초자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.
