Rescue and emergency medical services collaboration and organizational barriers in the Korea Coast Guard : A qualitative focus group study
Purpose: This study explored experiences of collaboration between rescue personnel and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel and identified organizational barriers affecting collaborative practice within the Korea Coast Guard. Methods: This qualitative study used focus group interviews (FGIs) and qualitative content analysis. Nine participants with direct experience in rescue-EMS collaboration, including rescue officers, Level-1 emergency medical technicians (EMTs), patrol vessel crew members, coast guard station officers, and situation room personnel, were recruited using purposive and maximum variation sampling. Three FGIs were conducted, audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed according to the qualitative content analysis method proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. Results: Four major themes emerged from the analysis: (1) limited use of EMT professionalism within a rescue-oriented organizational culture, (2) differences in professional role perception between rescue officers and EMTs, (3) organizational mechanisms that restrict effective rescue-EMS collaboration, and (4) the need for organizational transformation toward integrated rescue-EMS collaboration. Participants consistently perceived that barriers to collaboration originated not only from workforce shortages but also from organizational culture, role ambiguity, decision-making structures, and insufficient organizational recognition of EMS professionalism. Conclusion: Rescue-EMS collaboration within the Korea Coast Guard should be understood as an organizational and interprofessional issue rather than merely a workforce problem. Organizational reforms, including integrated education and training, standardized collaboration protocols, strengthened EMS professionalism, and organizational support for collaborative practice, are needed to improve prehospital emergency care in maritime environments. These findings provide evidence to guide future organizational development and policy improvement in maritime EMS.

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.
