Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing elderly care burden of a working family. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was used. Participants was 153 family member of elderly at five nursing facilities. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires from July to October 2019. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis with the SPSS WIN 25.0 program. Analysis result, explaining 20,8% of the variance, which indicated that subjects for giving care, monthly admission fee, burden of expenses, and satisfaction for fee service were significant predictors of working family's care burden. Various individual characteristics significantly influenced working family's care burden in aspects of emotional, social, economical, and physical burdens. Therefore, interventions to decrease working family's care burden must focus on their individual factors.

본 연구의 목적은 직장인을 대상으로 요양시설 노인의 돌봄 부담감을 조사하고 이에 영향을 미치는 특성들을 파악하는 것이다. 연구방법은 서술적 상관관계 연구로 5개 요양시설에 노인을 입소시킨 153명의 직장인 가족이었다. 자료는 2019년 7월부터 10월까지 자가보고형 설문지를 통해 수집하였다. 자료는 SPSS WIN 25.0 프로그램을 이용하여 독립표본 t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, 그리고 hierarchical multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 직장인 가족의 노인 돌봄 부담감에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 요인은 노인과의 관계, 요양비 부담정도, 요양시설 서비스에 대한 만족으로 나타났으며 이들의 설명력은 20.8%였다. 또한 직장인 가족의 노인 돌봄 부담감에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 개인의 특성들을 심리적, 사회적, 경제적 및 신체적 부담영역별로 확인하였으며 이러한 결과는 돌봄 가족의 부담감을 줄이기 위한 중재방안에 활용될 수 있다.
