Abstract

This study examined the specific phenomenon of elder abuse at elderly care hospitals. The relationship between the attitudes of the hospital and elder abuse was also examined. Methods: The participants were from 86 elderly care hospitals. Questionnaires contained structured questions on attitudes, practices and elder abuse-related items. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and a t-test with SPSS program. Results: The following cases of specific abuse were noted: verbal aggression (39.5%), ignoring requests (24.4%), and threatening communication (22.1%). Furthermore, there were also cases of physical and sexual abuse. With these findings, this study suggested a few implications. Among them, it was stressed that a systematic investigation of elder abuse cases at hospitals be undertaken and the legal response should be regulated by law.

본 연구는 노인요양병원에서 발생하고 있는 노인학대 실태와 노인학대 방지를 위한 병원의 대응 방법에 따라 노인학대 감소와 유의미한 차이가 있는지 분석하였다. 전국 노인요양병원 중 표본추출을 통해 선정한 대상 병원 중에서 설문에 응답한 86개소를 분석한 결과 노인학대 실태는 정서적 학대인 감정 상한 언행(39.5%), 요구무시(24.4%), 위협적 언행(22.1%) 등이 목격되었고, 신체구속(29,1%) 및 폭행(15.1%), 그리고 생존위협(5.8%) 등의 신체적 학대, 그리고 성적수치심(22.1%)을 주는 성적 학대가 목격되었다. 노인요양병원의 노인학대 방지를 위한 대응 방법에서는 노인학대 관련 규정 여부 또는 노인학대 교육 여부는 노인학대 감소에 도움이 되지 않으며, 처벌규정, 모니터링단 구성, 신고인 비밀보장, 조사위원회 및 위원회 결과 공지 등 대응 방법이 노인학대 행위와 차이를 보여 규정이나 교육 보다는 실제적인 조사 및 대처 등에 주력하여 운영되거나 감독되어야 함을 시사하였다.
