Abstract

As South Korea has become an aged society, the dementia rate has also been increasing. With the introduction of both de-institutionalization and community care in 2017, the importance of community-based care has increased. Perspectives on dementia have also been shifting from the medical model and social model to the person-centered model. This paper suggests ways to improve dementia service through analyzing the dementia knowledge of care-givers at ADS. The paper includes an FGI with the care-givers who have worked for more than 2 years. Based on such FGI, the paper draws sub-themes from 7 areas. Among the suggestions for improvement are: community-based service with daily routine practice, improving awareness of dementia for co-living, and person-centered service based on individuality and diverseness.

고령화 사회가 되면서 치매발병률 또한 증가하고 있다. 2017년 탈시설화와 통합돌봄의 본격적 도입으로 지역사회 기반 치매환자 돌봄이 더욱 중요해졌다. 치매에 대한 관점도 기존의 의료 모델, 사회적 모델에서 인간 중심 모델로 변화하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 장기요양재가이용시설인 노인주간보호센터의 돌봄 종사자들의 치매지식을 분석하여 치매서비스 개선방안을 제시하였다. 2곳의 주간보호센터에서 근무연한 2년 이상의 돌봄 종사자들을 대상으로 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 진행하여 7가지 영역에서 소주제를 도출하였다. 개선방안으로는 지역기반 서비스의 중요성과 규칙적 일상 실천, 치매와 함께 동행하기 위한 치매인식 개선, 개별성과 다양성을 기반으로 한 인간중심 서비스의 실천 등이 제시되었다.
