Abstract

목적: 병원에서 재가 및 시설로 퇴원한 환자가 지역사회에서 건강을 유지하기 위해서는 전환기 돌봄서비스(Transitional care services)가 필요하다. 이를 위해 지역사회 내 의료서비스와 자원을 연계하는 주치의의 역할이 중요시된다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 바탕으로 일차진료 의사들의 환자중심성에 대한 인식을 파악하여 환자중심 기반의 서비스 제공을 위해 필요한 정책을 제시하였다. 또한 Transitional Care Service에 대한 일차진료 의사들의 인식을 확인하고 인구사회학적 요인과의 관계를 확인함으로써 서비스 우선순위를 도출하고자 하였다. 방법: 본 연구는 전국의 가정의학과, 내과, 신경과 등 노인 질환과 관련 있는 과의 전문의 자격증이 있으며 자발적으로 온라인 설문조사에 참여할 의사를 표현한 일차진료 의사 259명을 대상으로 수행되었다. 환자중심성 및 전환기 돌봄서비스에 대한 인식을 살펴보기 위해 구조화된 설문지를 개발하였으며, 조사전문업체를 통해 2019년 10월 28일부터 2019년 11월 22일까지 온라인으로 설문조사를 수행하였다. 결과: 본 연구에 대한 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일차진료 의사들을 대상으로 9가지 전환기 돌봄서비스 인식에 대해 살펴본 결과 "입원 시 진단, 건강상태, 치료계획 및 결과 에 대한 설명(4.4)"과 "퇴원 후 자가 건강관리를 위한 정보 및 훈련 (4.2)"에 대한 필요성이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 35세 이상 일차진료 의사가 34세 이하 일차진료 의사보다 전환기 돌봄서비스에 대한 인식이 높게 나타났다(F=7.3, p<0.01). 또한, 환자중심성에 대한 인식이 높을수록, 연령이 높을수록, 서울 외 지역에서 근무할수록 전환기 돌봄서비스에 대한 인식이 높게 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 일차의료를 제공하는 의료진들을 위한 교육프로그램과 지역사회에서 일차의료 의사들을 중심으로 하는 지역 연계 방안을 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
