Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to figure out the effect of nurse staffing in nursing home on the quality of care and quality of life of the residents, using Castle & Engberg's conceptual framework. Methods: A total of 31 studies published between 1996 and 2021 were selected from 6 databases, searched for keyword such as "Nurse staffing", "Nursing staff", "Outcome", "Quality of care", "Quality of life", "residents outcomes", "nursing home", "long-term care". By using Castle & Engberg's conceptual framework, systematic review was conducted. Results: More time provided by nursing staff, high level of licensed nurse staffing, good relationship between nursing staff and residents, and generous supervision system have a positive effect on resident outcomes. Conclusion: Establishing regulatory strategies of having mandatory Registered Nurse is needed because nurse staffing in nursing homes was related to resident outcomes. In addition, it is necessary to conduct further research about quality of life beyond quality of care for residents.

목적: Castle과 Engberg의 이론적 기틀을 활용하여 노인요양시설의 간호인력이 입소노인의 케어의 질과 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 한다. 방법: 6개의 데이터베이스에서 "Nurse staffing(간호인력 배치)", "Nursing staff(간호인력)", "Outcome(결과)", "Quality of care(케어의 질)", "Quality of life(삶의 질)", "residents outcomes(입소자 결과)", "nursing home(노인요양시설)", "long-term care(장기요양)"를 키워드로 1996년 1월부터 2021년 3월까지 출판된 문헌을 수집하여 총 31편의 연구가 도출되었다. Castle과 Engberg의 이론적 기틀을 활용하여 체계적인 고찰을 수행하였다. 결과: 간호인력의 제공 시간, 간호사 면허를 가진 인력 확보, 간호인력과 입소노인 간 우호적 관계, 관대한 관리감독 체계가 입소노인의 케어의 질 및 삶의 질에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 이직률과 agency 간호사 고용 여부에 관해서는 일관적인 연구 결과가 보고되지 않았다. 결론: 노인요양시설의 간호인력은 노인요양시설 입소노인의 케어의 질 및 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인이므로, 의무적인 간호사 인력 배치 수준을 제시하는 정책 마련이 필요하다. 또한 현재 대부분의 연구가 케어의 질을 중점으로 보고하여, 삶의 질에 대한 연구가 추가적으로 수행될 필요가 있다.
