초록

본 연구는 노인요양병원 종사자를 대상으로 심층면담을 실시하여 노인 성행동에 대한 경험을 확인하기 위한 탐색적 연구이다. 자료수집은 2019년 8월부터 10월까지 실시되었다. 심층면담은 반구조화된 질문지로 실시하였다. 참여자로부터 수집된 면담 자료는 질적 주제분석방법으로 분석하였다. 노인요양병원 종사자가 경험하는 노인의 성행동은 의미있는 진술로부터 10개의 하위주제가 도출되었고 이들은 4개의 주제로 범주화되어 각각 '노인의 성행동에 부정적 감정 생김', '노인 성행동에 대한 돌봄 부재를 깨달음', '돌봄의 역할 유지가 어려움', '성행동에 대해 치료적인 역할 수용'으로 명명되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 노인요양병원 종사자를 대상으로 노인의 성행동을 이해하도록 돕는 교육프로그램개발의 기초자료가 될 수 있다.

This study is an explorer study to investigate the experience of long term care hospital workers on the sexual behaviors of the elderly. The data were collected from August to October in 2019. The depth interview was implemented with using the semi structured questionnaires. The interview data collected from the participants were analyzed with using qualitative thematic analysis methods. The experience of long term care hospital workers regarding the elderly's sexual behaviors consisted of ten sub-categorized themes from the significant statements and was categorized into following four themes; 'Negative feelings related with elderlys' sexual behaviors', 'Difficulty of maintaining caring roles', 'Recognizing the absence of care for elderlys' sexual behavior', 'Accepting the therapeutic roles for elderlys' sexual behavior'. The findings could be the basic data for developing educational programs that help the long term care hospital workers understand the sexual behavior of the elderly.
