Why is nursing necessary? Nursing Practice and Results The CheongDae Times Senior reporter Jin-won Seo. Recently, there have been many articles on nursing laws in the news. If you look at news articles related to nursing law, you can see that each medical community, such as the Nurses Association and the Medical Association, is arguing. What does the nursing law contain to become such a hot potato? Let's take a look at the background of the proposed enactment of the Nursing Law. Until now, Korea has legally determined the role of medical personnel in the "Medical law" enacted during the Japanese colonial period. The 'Medical law' does not provide a clear role for each doctor and nurse. The role of nurses defined in Article 2, Paragraph 2, Item 5 of the Medical law is an assistant to medical treatment conducted under the guidance of doctors, dentists, and oriental doctors. The unclear content of the word ‘guidance’ doesn’t consider subdivided medical sites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqtRxE29AzQ Nurses are doing more than what nurses have to do in the actual medical field. For example, currently in Korea, there is an average of 16.3 patients per nurse. https://blog.naver.com/cskw11/222857771791 Through this COVID-19 incident, the need for nurses has increased. In addition, as Korea becomes an aging society and the number of patients with chronic diseases increases, the need for nursing personnel is expected to increase steadily in the medical field.
https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/032/0002812491 Then, why do the Medical Association and the Nursing Assistant Association oppose the nursing law? The Medical Association argues that "local nursing" stipulated in the Nursing law creates the possibility that nurses can open a single hospital without a doctor, which violates the area of the primary hospital. On Friday, May 12, an International Nurses' Day event was held in Gwanghwamun. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Korean Nursing Association, and it was a more meaningful event because the Nursing Law passed the National Assembly this year. https://www.rapportian.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=160806 On May 16, the government vetoed the Nursing Law. It was a moment when 240,000 nurses' wishes were rejected. In response, the Nurses Association began a law-abiding struggle. https://www.joongang.co.kr/article/25164990 Why did nurses have to do illegal medical treatment until now? According to the survey, 2,925 cases (31.7%) of “There's no one who can do it instead”, 2,648 cases (28.7%) of “because of vertical relationship with the doctor”, 1,919 cases (20.8%) of “for the patients, and because of custom’ and 1,735 cases (18.8%) of "because of employment threats". Until now, nurses have performed tasks other than nursing tasks prescribed by law for various reasons. For this reason, the work of nurses was inevitably more difficult, and many nurses have been required to solve these problems. However, countrywide nurses are angry, because the government exercised its right to veto nursing laws without improving the poor conditions of nurses. Unless the environment of nurses is improved and the nursing law is enacted, the nursing law will continue to be a "hot potato" in the medical community. |
