Abstract

This study is a descriptive research to analyze the factors affecting the care burden of dementia patients in the community. The data was collected from 223 dementia patients in the community for 10 days from November 30 to December 9, 2018. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in caring burden according to demographic characteristics according to the age group of the main caregivers, the relationship with dementia patients, the duration of caring for dementia patients, and the difficulty of caring for dementia patients. Had a negative correlation with dementia knowledge(r=-.145, p=.030). The factors affecting the care burden of dementia patients were as follows: dementia care period(β=.408, p=.006), difficulty in caring for dementia patients(β=-.307, p=.023), relationship with dementia patients(β=-.299, p=.013), and age group of primary caregivers of dementia patients(β=-.265, p=.007). Therefore, in order to alleviate the burden of caring for dementia patients in the community, a practical and continuous care intervention program is needed

본 연구는 지역사회 내 치매환자가족의 돌봄부담감에 미치는 영향요인을 분석하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료수집은 2018년도 11월 30일~12월 9일까지 10일간 지역사회 내 치매환자가족 223명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구의 결과 인구사회학적 특성에 따른 돌봄부담감 정도는 치매환자가족의 주돌봄자 연령대, 치매환자와의 관계, 치매환자 돌봄기간, 치매환자 돌봄 시 어려운 점에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며 돌봄부담감은 치매지식과 부적상관관계(r=-.145, p=.030)가 있었다. 치매환자가족의 돌봄부담감에 미치는 영향요인으로는 치매환자 돌봄기간(β=.408, p=.006), 치매환자 돌봄시 어려운 점(β=-.307, p=.023), 치매환자와의 관계(β=-.299, p=.013), 치매환자가족의 주돌봄자 연령대(β=-.265, p=.007) 순으로 영향을 미치고 있음이 확인되었다. 이에 지역사회 내 치매환자가족의 돌봄부담감 완화를 위한 실질적이고 지속적인 돌봄중재 프로그램이 필요하며 특히 치매환자 가족돌봄자를 대상으로 체계적이고 주기적인 신체적·정신적 건강관리가 필요하다.
