보건의료종사자에 대한 폭력 양상과 대처에 대한 연구- 미국의 법제와의 비교를 중심으로 -

The current reality is that the violence in and out of medical institutions continues to occur in Korea, including doctors and nurses and other health care workers who perform or assist in medical care for patients. And this is not only happening in Korea but also in the United States. Therefore, both Korea and the U.S. share the same perception that preventive measures to protect health care workers from violence and that compensation, treatment, and legal sanctions that should be taken after the violence occurs. However, there are differences in prevention and countermeasures against violence against health care workers between Korea and the United States. Namely, ① Is there any comparison or statistical processing with other occupational groups to substantiate the reality in order to prepare such prevention and countermeasures? ② Is it government-led or profit-oriented? ③ Whether preventive or counter measures that being prepared are limited only in the limit of the location of the medical institution ④ In addition to the health care personnel’s aspects, whether preventive or countermeasures are being prepared for the patient’s side. So in the presentation of various measures to prevent and combat violence against health care providers, ultimately, to what extent it should be included should be set according to the state of affairs and social acceptability of each country.
