護理師人力短缺問題未解,近期公立醫院協會建議,可考慮延長危勞護理師退休年齡至六十四歲,護理師護士公會全聯會也認同提供護理師延長退休年齡的彈性。台大醫院院長余忠仁、北榮院長陳威明也認同,衛福部表示,這類規範調整涉及護理人員權益,若各界對調整方案有共識,衛福部會審慎評估。
55歲可自願提前、60歲屆齡退休
公立醫院護理師若輪值三班,且常遇到危害身心健康或生命安全的危險事件,依相關規定可視為「危勞護理師」,在五十五歲可自願提早退休,六十歲則是屆齡退休年齡,而以現況來說,許多公立醫院護理師會選擇五十五歲就提前退休,轉往其他單位繼續服務。
然而,面對護理人力短缺,公立醫院協會理事長、北榮院長陳威明建議,北榮有將近七成的護理師屬於公職,不只沒有在五十五歲就提前退休,到了六十歲也還想繼續留在醫院服務,未來或可提供空間,讓護理師在公立醫院服務到六十四歲再退休。
護理師護士公會全聯會也表示,全聯會支持增加護理師自主選擇的彈性,在保留原有五十五歲自願退休權益的情況下,讓護理師自主決定退休時間,有意願者可延後至六十四歲,不影響既有退休俸權益,也可提供護理師選擇的空間,但強調絕非一律延後至六十四歲退休。
余忠仁進一步解釋,若公職護理師願意在公立醫院多留一段時間,對栽培下一代也會有幫助,是否讓公職護理師延後退休確實有討論空間,目前醫療實務上也有很多退休後又以部分工時形式回到醫院服務的護理師,雖然不一定服務於原單位,但畢竟對醫院運作有一定的熟悉度,提供醫院相當多幫助。
照護司:蒐集各團體意見
衛福部照護司副司長陳青梅說明,衛福部會再進一步了解各團體的意見,包括護理師團體、公立醫院的看法都會納入考量,未來若各界對調整方案有共識,衛福部會進一步研議,這類規範調整涉及護理人員權益,衛福部一定審慎評估。
