본 연구는 국내 임상병리사가 수행하는 이비인후과 검사의 종류와 특성을 소개하고, 온라인 설문지를 이용하여 이비인후과 검사자의 근무 환경과 업무 범위를 알아보고자 하였다. 조사 대상자의 연령은 40대가 34.1%로 가장 많았고, 80.2%가 여성이었으며, 임상 경력 15년 이상인 응답자가 30.8%로 가장 많았다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 이비인후과 검사인력의 업무 스트레스 정도는 높았고, 직업병은 빈번하였으며, 업무의 범위가 넓은 것으로 나타났다. 업무 스트레스를 줄이고 만족도를 높이기 위하여 인력 확충이 필요하였다. 검사실 내 임상병리사가 선임 직종인 경우는 72%로 다른 직종에 비해 높았고, 직종 분포는 선임의 직종과 밀접한 관련이 있었다(P＜0.001). 임상병리사는 약 26 가지의 이비인후과 검사를 수행하고 있었다. 하루에 가장 많이 시행되는 검사는 순음청력검사이며, 수면다원검사은 평균 8시간으로 가장 긴 검사 시간을 보였다. 결론적으로, 임상병리사는다양하고 전문적인 이비인후과 검사를 담당하고 있었다. 이비인후과에서 임상병리사의 중요성을 감안할 때 대학-협회-학회는 이비인후과 검사 전문가를 양성하기 위해 보다 많은 노력을 해야 할 것이다.
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the types and characteristics of otorhinolaryngology examinations performed by clinical laboratory technologists and to investigate the working environment and scope of work of otorhinolaryngology laboratory personnel using online questionnaires. Based on the research results, constructive policy measures for the University-Association-Society were also presented. Most of the survey respondents were in their 40s (34.1%). Females accounted for 80.2% of respondents and 30.8% of them had a career spanning 15 years or more. We found that laboratory personnel had a wide scope of work, high work stress and frequently suffered occupational diseases. We observed that, to reduce stress and increase satisfaction, an expansion of the workforce was necessary. Compared to other occupations, 72% of clinical laboratory technologists occupied more senior positions, occupational distribution depended on senior positions (P＜0.001). Clinical laboratory technologists performed about 26 types of otorhinolaryngology examinations. The most frequent test performed daily was pure tone audiometry, and polysomnography took the longest test time, with an average of 8 hours. In conclusion, clinical laboratory technologists were in charge of various specialized otorhinolaryngology examinations. Considering the importance of clinical laboratory technologists in otorhinolaryngology, the University-Association-Society should put in additional effort into nurturing otorhinolaryngology examination experts.
