초록

노인들은 건강상태가 다소 좋지 않더라도 지역사회에 지속적으로 거주하기 원한다. 그러나 노인의 건강 및 기능상태에 맞는 통합적인 돌봄지원 시스템의 부재로 생활시설을 선택하는 경우가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 2017년 노인실태조사를 활용하여 장기요양인정을 신청한 노인들을 대상으로 욕구에 맞는 서비스를 이용하고 있는지를 탐색적으로 논의하고자 한다. 분석결과 첫째, 장기요양인정을 통해 등급을 받은 노인 중에서 경증 노인은 방문요양 등 재가서비스를 주로 이용하고 있었다. 그러나 경증 노인 중에서 일부는 요양시설에 입소하고 있어서 기능 상태에 맞지 않는 서비스를 이용하고 있었다. 둘째, 방문요양서비스가 주야간보호서비스에 비해 월등히 이용이 높아서 노인 상태에 맞는 복합적인 재가서비스가 이루어지지 못하고 있었다. 셋째, 등급 외 노인의 경우 등급인정 노인에 비하여 일상생활 수행을 위한 도움을 충분히 받지 못하고 있었으며, 경로당이나 노인복지관 등 지역사회복지서비스 이용도 낮았다. 따라서 장기요양인정자의 경우 건강 및 기능상태가 경증 임에도 지역사회에 계속 거주하지 못하고 시설에 입소하는 경우가 발생하고 있고, 등급 외 노인의 경우 필요한 지역사회 돌봄 서비스를 적절이 이용하지 못해서 장기요양인정자로 상태가 악화될 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단된다.

Elderly people want to live in the community even if they are in poor health. However, there is no integrated care support system suitable for the health and functional status of the elderly. So the elderly are choosing living facilities. The purpose of this study is to explore exploring whether the elderly are applying for a long-term care certification. First, mild geriatric patients were mainly using home care services such as visitation care. However, some of the milder elderly were enrolled in nursing homes. And the service that does not fit the functional status of the elderly is used. Second, it is concentrated on the use of visiting care services. Third, elderly people outside the class did not receive sufficient help for daily life, and the use of community welfare services such as the elderly welfare center was low. As a result, long-term care admitters are not able to continue to live in the community even though their health and functioning status is mild, and elderly people out of grade are unable to properly use the necessary community care services. The condition is likely to deteriorate.
