Abstract

The elderly customized care service, which began in 2020, aims to improve professionalism and service quality by introducing dedicated social workers for responsible management of living area performing institutions. Through inductive content analysis, this study attempted to examine the work adaptation process of dedicated social workers who are human resources performing the elderly customized care service system. As a result, 9 upper categories, 25 lower categories, and 56 conceptualizations were derived. This study attempted to provide basic policy data on the adaptation of dedicated social workers by exploring new policies and special work systems from the perspective of practitioners.

노인맞춤돌봄서비스 제도의 수행인력인 전담사회복지사의 업무 적응 과정을 살펴보고, 업무적응을 위한 요인을 파악하고자 전담사회복지사 4명을 대상으로 귀납적 내용분석이라는 질적연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 9개의 상위범주와 25개의 하위범주, 56개의 개념화가 도출되었다. 이직에 대한 다양한 결심과 돌봄이라는 새로운 분야에 대한 기대로 전담사회복지사가 되었지만 제도의 체계적인 행정절차, 조직 내의 인간관계, 개인적인 성향으로 인해 적응에 어려움을 겪었다. 스트레스와 순응의 시간을 겪으며 기관 차원의 지지와 대상자, 동료 등의 주변인으로부터 정서적 지지를 통해 업무 적응에 도움을 받았다. 그러나 노인맞춤돌봄제도의 정책적 한계로 인하여 동료들의 잦은 이직, 대상자에 집중할 수 없는 환경, 계약직에 대한 지속적인 고민을 하였다. 본 연구는 전담사회복지사의 실무자 관점에서 새로운 정책과 특수한 근로체계에 대하여 탐색하여 전담사회복지사의 업무 적응에 대한 정책적 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.
