Abstract

This study analyzed the characteristics and meaning of care labor by examining the experience of semi-aged caregivers. To that end, in-depth interviews were conducted for a qualitative study of 15 semi-aged caregivers working at elderly care facilities located in the Kyunggi-do region. The interview was conducted with a major focus on three categories: perception of care labor by semi-aged caregivers; stress experienced in the course of care labor; and insights earned through care labor. The analysis showed that semi-aged caregivers have a positive experience through care labor. This finding will contribute to understanding the characteristics and meaning of semi-aged care labor from a different perspective.

본 연구는 노인요양시설 준고령 요양보호사의 경험을 통해 돌봄노동의 특성과 의미를 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 경기도에 소재한 노인요양시설에서 근무하고 있는 요양보호사 15명을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하였고, 질적연구 방법에 의한 분석을 하였다. 면접은 '준고령 요양보호사의 돌봄노동에 대한 인식', '돌봄 과정에서 경험하는 스트레스와 대처', '돌봄노동이 주는 성찰적 의미'에 초점을 맞추었다. 분석 결과, 준고령 요양보호사들은 돌봄노동을 통해서 긍정적인 경험을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 준고령 요양보호사에 의한 돌봄노동의 성격을 새로운 관점에서 파악하는데 기여할 것으로 본다.
