Practice Scope of Nurse Specialists in Medical Centers:A Comparsion Between Current and Expected Status
中文摘要
本研究以北部兩家醫學中心執行專科護理師業務之準專科護理師，相關科系專科 醫師與其單位內 N2 級階臨床護理人員為研究對象，共計 400 名參與，目的在探 討醫學中心準專科護理師、專科醫師、護理人員對準專科護理師執業範圍現況認 知，現況觀察及期望並比較其差異，屬一描述性調查研究，在盧(1999a)以 Delphi technique 科學性的方法彙整當年專家們的意見取得共同的看法，將專科護理師 之工作內容定位在「病患照護、護理專業發展、一般醫療服務與專科醫療服務」，
本研究引用上述工作內容定位之研究結果如下：一、準專科護理師執業範圍現況 所呈現出病人照護及一般醫療服務之執行程度在「經常執行」與「偶而執行」之 間；護理專業發展執行程度則在「很少執行」與「偶而執行」之間；專科醫療服 務之執行程度在「很少執行」至「從未執行」之間。期望所呈現：在病人照護方 面為「贊成執行」以上的程度；護理專業發展方面為「贊成」至「非常贊成」執 行程度；一般醫療服務方面為在「贊成」與「部份贊成」執行程度；專科醫療服 務則在「部份贊成」與「不贊成」執行程度，專科醫療服務項目中具侵入性臨床
處置內容，均為「不贊成」或「極不贊成」。二、準專科護理師、專科醫師、護
理人員對準專科護理師執業範圍現況之差異：病人照護之執行程度高於一般醫療 服務，且依次高於護理專業發展與專科醫療服務；期望之差異則為病人照護之執 行程度與護理專業發展兩類高於一般醫療服務與專科醫療服務。病人照護之各項 執行現況與期望無差異。三、準專科護理師、專科醫師、護理人員三者在四類執 業範圍間現況與期望看法之差異：在病人照護、護理專業發展、一般醫療服務之 執行現況，為準專科護理師與專科醫師高於護理人員，但是在專科醫療服務現況 上三者間沒有顯著差異；在病患照護之期望程度三者沒有顯著差異；在護理專業 發展上，護理人員高於準專科護理師；在專科醫療服務上，專科醫師高於準專科 護理師、高於護理人員。在專科醫療服務期望上，準專科護理師與專科醫師組及 專科醫師與護理人員組，兩組間分析有顯著差異。期待研究結果可以提供作為未 來在護理教育上、行政管理上、臨床服務及研究上的參考。
關鍵詞：準專科護理師、執業範圍、現況、期望
