Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze contents on media about the problems of long-term care facilities. For achieving this purpose, we reviewed 'KINDS(http://www.kinds.or.kr/)' from July, 2008 to May, 2012 which was an synthetic newspaper and TV news searching system. Among 320 articles, we finally analyzed 72 articles: 218 articles were duplicated and 30 articles did not directly related or were not objective. The results were divided with seven parts: 'long-term care facilities', 'employee' 'health care and accidents', 'providing and management of service', 'meals related problems', 'maltreatment of client', 'disorders & unfairness long-term care benefit. Among these seven parts, we could confirm specific and major problems, which were lack of safety management, incompleteness facilities & equipments, shortage of long-term care manpower, insufficient service providing low quality of service, hiding money from elderly's accounts, and providing some money to get national subsidies. For resolving these problems, the long-term service guidelines must be prepared and the related facilities must cooperate each other for providing high quality of service. In addition, the efficient systems must be made to find out long-term care problems and unfairness of service providing and strict management rules or sanctions must be needed.
