본 연구는 보훈병원에 입원한 노인환자들의 약물정보인식, 약물사용 실태 및 약물오용상태를 파악하기 위해 시도된 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구기간은 2011년 5월부터 6월까지이며 연구대상자는 전국 5개 지역 보훈병원에서 약물을 사용하고 있는 만 65세 이상된 국가유공자 220명이다. 자료분석은 SPSS Win 18.0 프로그램을 이용하였고 영역별 분석은 평균과 표준편차, t-test와 ANOVA, 다중회귀분석으로 통계적 진술하였다. 연구결과로는 대상자의 일반적 특성인 연령, 결혼유형, 교육정도, 환자분류, 건강상태가 통계적으로 유의한 수준을 나타내었다. 약물정보인식 영역에 영향력 있는 변수는 '연령'으로 나타났으며 약물오용과 약물사용 실태 요인은 '건강상태'에 영향력을 보였다. 따라서 향후에는 보훈병원 입원 노인환자와 일반 노인환자를 대상으로 한 비교 연구가 필요하며, 또한 국가적 차원에서 전액 보상되는 치료비와 진료비는 보훈병원 입원 노인환자들의 약물의존도를 부추기는 경향으로 일부 작용하므로 보훈병원 입원 노인환자들에게 보훈의료제도의 합리적 지원방안에 관한 연구와 보훈의료 서비스의 질적인 향상을 위한 연구가 이루어져야 한다.
