본 연구의 목적은 독거노인의 노인돌봄서비스 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴보고, 노인돌봄서비스의 만족도 증진을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구대상은 충북 J시의 노인돌봄기본서비스를 받고 있는 65세 이상 독거노인 301명을 대상으로 하였으며 영향요인을 살펴보기 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과 독거노인의 노인돌봄서비스 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 관리사 요인, 서비스 요인, 기관 요인, 소득수준이 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 생활관리사, 서비스 요인, 기관 요인이 높을수록, 소득수준이 낮은 독거노인 일수록 노인돌봄서비스 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 생활관리사 요인이 노인돌봄서비스 만족도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 다음은 기관요인, 서비스요인, 소득수준 순으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 근거로 정책제언을 하면 첫째, 생활관리사들의 전문성 증진과 처우개선, 둘째, 기관의 전문적이고 체계적인 서비스 지원과 사회안전망 강화, 셋째, 노인돌봄서비스의 품질향상을 위한 적절성·접근성·지속성 강화가 필요하다.
