This survey was conducted from Oct. 11, 2005 to Oct 20, 2005 at two Univ. Hospitals sized about 800 beds. The survey was carried based on the self-report Questionnaire Among 350 questionaires,319 ones were collected and that were used for this study. Data was analyzed by SPSS/PC 11.0 and T-test, Anova and X2-test were used to verify the distinction of general character, the subject of liability and the necessity of Insurance. The regression analysis was done to analyze the factors which affect the subject of liability and the needs of insurance. Through the introduction and enforcement of the system, nurses are hoping to perform their professional nursing activity with the confidence. And for the raise of the fund of the system, the employer’s participation is requisite. When the insurance system is operated, the main concern should be the nurses’ welfare not insurance company’s profit. For the enforcement of the Nursing Malpractice Insurance System, the more specific and suited study for Korean Situation is needed. And the concerned party’s continuous and lasting discussion with government authorities on the introduction of the system is indispensable. For the more consistent and stable medical environment, the introduction of the system should be discussed now with caution.
