[인터뷰] Director of the Guro Nursing Hospital

Quarantine with confirmed’concern about further infection’… Director Yun Young-bok

[앵커]

I will connect the director of Seoul Guro Nursing Hospital right away. So far, the total number of confirmed cases in nursing homes and nursing homes is 157, and it is said that there are currently about 40 patients waiting for the hospital bed. In addition, about 80 patients who received negative tests are also quarantined in hospitals, so further infection is also a concern. Director Yoon Young-bok of the Smile Nursing Hospital is connected. Are you with me?

[윤영복/구로구 미소들요양변원장 : 안녕하세요.]

[앵커]

In the case of a nursing hospital, quarantine entirely means that the hospital itself can provide treatment and care to some extent. What is your caring situation now?

[윤영복/구로구 미소들요양변원장 : 요양병원에서는 감염병 환자가 입원할 수 있는 병원이 아니기 때문에 이 코로나 환자 치료를 한다는 것은 절대 할 수가 없습니다. 그리고 의료진, 직원들도 코로나 공포에서 벗어나기가 어렵습니다. 지금 의사 7명이 120명의 환자를 보고 있습니다. 간호사는 많은 이탈이 일어나서 1명당 10명의 환자를 보고 있습니다. 간병인은 200명이었던 간병인이 현재 9명만 남아 있습니다. 치료를 담당하고 있는 의료인력들은 지금 14일째 집에 가지 못하고 24시간 환자 치료에 매달려서 번아웃 상태에 놓여 있습니다. 간병사들 대부분 나가고 많은 간병사들이 확진이 되었고 간호사들도 환자와 치료를 하다 보니, 7명의 확진자가 발생했습니다. 식사 및 기저귀 갈기, 체위 변경, 가래, 흡연 등의 문제가 생기고 엑스레이에도 이상이 생기면서 환자의 상태 평가가 어려워졌습니다. 한 병동에서 적은 수의 감염 인력이 격리된 병동에서 수십 명의 환자들을 간호하면서 레벨D 방호복을 착용하고 있으면서 기저귀 갈기 등 환자들 케어를 담당하고 있으며 의료인력 부족으로 제대로 된 지도가 힘든 상태입니다.]

[앵커]

It is said that there are about 40 confirmed patients waiting for a bed now.

[윤영복/구로구 미소들요양변원장 : 정부는 전국적으로 153개, 수도권에는 68병상을 확충하고 있다고 밝히고 있습니다. 계속 우리가 문제를 제기하였고 저희 담당 의료진이 청와대에 청원글을 올려서인지 오늘은 많은 수인 11명이 이송이 되었습니다. 처음부터 진작에 빠른 이송이 되었더라면 이렇게 확산이 되지 않았을 겁니다. 또한 앞서 확진된 환자들을 다른 격리병원으로 전원했다가 완치된 환자들이 다시 우리 병원으로 돌려보내겠다고 해서 이것 역시 해결해야 될 문제입니다. 아직 저희 병원은 불을 다 끄지 못한 상태이고 지금도 음성환자가 확진되고 있고 간호인력은 번아웃돼가고 있습니다.]

[앵커]

This part will be answered a little shortly. I am curious to know if you requested human resources and what answers you received.

[윤영복/구로구 미소들요양변원장 : 인력 부분 역시 청와대 청원글이 알려지자 이제부터 해 주겠다고 나서고 있는데 오늘까지 간호인력 지원은 1명도 되지 않고 있습니다. 지금 시급히 지원이 필요한 부분은 코로나 환자의 빠른 병상 배정으로 격리 이송시키고 음성판정들에 대한 치료가 필요한 병원으로의 이송이 시급합니다.]

[앵커]

It is an urgent situation in various ways. I was the director of Yeong-bok Yoon at the Smile Medical Center. Thank you.

[윤영복/구로구 미소들요양변원장 : 감사합니다.]
