Abstract

The rapid aging of South Korea is causing difficulties in meeting the man-power demands for the increasing number of elderly nursing hospitals. To cope with this gap in supply and demand, more foreign workers are now being hired to provide elderly care services. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of the quality of the care services provided by foreign caregivers in nursing hospitals for the elderly. For this purpose, the researcher surveyed 249 senior citizens who are receiving care services from Chinese-Korean caregivers in six elderly nursing hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggi region. The data collected from the survey were analyzed through SPSS and AMOS. The result of the analyses showed that, first, the quality factors of the care services of the caregivers at elderly nursing hospitals, such as reliability, responsibility, empathy, formality, and expertise, all turned out to have a positive correlation with the trust in, satisfaction with, and intent to revisit the institute. Second, thefluencing factors for the qualities of the care services by Chinese-Korean care givers in elderly nursing hospitals included responsiveness, materiality, and expertise, while the factors that influenced satisfaction with significance included trust, materiality, and expertise. Also, the trust in and satisfaction with the institution both influenced the intent of revisit in a positive manner. Third, the indirect effect of trust in the relationship between the quality of the care services by the Chinese-Korean care givers and satisfaction, appeared in all independent variable except for responsiveness, which was a factor of the quality of the care services. And, it was also shown that the satisfaction level had an indirect effect in the relationship between trust and revisiting intent. The result of this study implicates that, in order to cause the quality of the care service by the Chinese-Korean care givers in elderly nursing hospitals to increase the revisit rate, it would be necessary to provide a strategy to increase the levels of trust and satisfaction through a higher quality level of care services.

우리나라의 급속한 고령화 현상은 노인요양병원의 확충으로 인한 인력수급의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 노인요양보호 서비스의 인력충원을 위해 외국 인력의 고용이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 노인요양병원의 외국인 간병인의 돌봄서비스 질이 기관에 대한 신뢰, 만족, 재이용의도에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 본 연구는 서울 경기 지역 6개의 노인요양병원에서 중국동포 간병인의 돌봄서비스를 받고 있는 노인 249명을 조사하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS와 AMOS를 이용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 노인요양병원 간병인의 돌봄서비스 질인 신뢰성, 대응성, 공감성, 유형성, 전문성은 기관에 대한 신뢰와 만족, 재이용의도와의 관계에서 모두 정적인 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 노인요양병원의 중국동포 간병인의 돌봄서비스 질이 간병인의 신뢰에 미치는 요인으로는 대응성, 유형성, 전문성이며, 만족에 미치는 요인으로 돌봄서비스의 신뢰성, 유형성, 전문성 요인이 만족에 유의한 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기관의 신뢰와 만족은 모두 재이용의도에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 노인요양병원의 중국동포 간병인의 돌봄서비스의 질과 만족도의 관계에서 신뢰에 대한 간접효과는 돌봄서비스의 질 중 대응성을 제외하고 모든 독립변수에서 나타났으며, 신뢰와 재이용의도의 관계에서 만족도는 간접효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 노인요양병원의 중국동포 간병인 돌봄서비스 질이 이용자의 재이용률을 높이기 위해서 양질의 돌봄서비스 질을 통해 신뢰와 만족을 높일 수 있는 방안을 제공하여야 할 것을 시사한다.
