60대 여성의 간호조무사 실습경험에 관한 자문화기술지

Abstract

This study deals with the subject of the practical experience of a woman in her 60s to obtain a nursing assistant qualification. This article describes the author's experiences with organizational culture and educational practices during the practical training. The study was triggered by interest in and awareness of the problem of the cynical view that the nursing assistant practical training course is no different from a 'slave contract'. This study conducted the process of career exploration centered on the experience of 'me' as the researcher. This study collected interview data, observation data, conversation data, and self-analysis diary as data, and derived major categories through mutually complementary analysis and interpretation. The research results derived three stages: ‘practical environment’, ‘difficulties in self-care’, and ‘process of awareness and practice’. In the ‘practical environment’ stage, the experience of control and ruling class culture to create a ‘docile body’ was described. In ‘difficulties in self-care’, the process of improving coping skills such as refusing unreasonable instructions was described. Finally, in ‘process of awareness and practice’, the process of voluntary performance such as respect and support for patients was included. The significance of this study lies in the fact that it specifically examined and deeply analyzed the sociocultural environment faced by nursing assistant trainees through an autoethnographic approach.
