Purpose: This study identified experiences of hospital acceptance difficulties among 119 emergency medical services (EMS) providers and examined associated factors. Methods: A descriptive survey design was used. Participants were 307 EMS providers working in 119 ambulance services nationwide. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 27.0. Results: The mean number of hospital acceptance refusals during the previous week was 5.54±6.75, and the mean number of refusals per patient was 2.88±2.06. The mean time required to secure hospital acceptance was 40.35±36.44 min. Hospital acceptance difficulty most commonly involved patients with intoxication, followed by patients with psychiatric or behavioral disorders and pediatric patients. The departments most frequently associated with acceptance difficulty were ophthalmology, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics. Conclusion: To mitigate hospital acceptance difficulties, partial improvements focused only on information provision are insufficient. Unified and legally defined criteria for hospital acceptance refusal should be established, regional coordination systems and information linkage should be strengthened, and an accountable acceptance system should be developed for critically ill and vulnerable patient groups.

소개
복합 구조적인 산업사회의 발전에 따라 안전사고와 응급상황에서의 구조구급요청자들이 증가하고 있으나 우리나라의 응급의료체계는 아직 그 수준을 따라가지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 우리나라의 응급의료체계를 확립하고 구조구급에 관한 기초학문의 발전에 기여하고자 학회를 창립한다.
