전지구적인 고령화시대를 살아가는 인류에게 행복한 노년기 삶의 질에 관한 유용한 방안은 매우 중요한 과제가 되고 있다. 특히, 고령노인의 건강은 삶의 최우선 순위가 될 뿐만 아니라, 가족과 사회 그리고 국가의 다양한 정책과 제도적 시스템을 조절하는 요인으로서 작용한다. 또한 공적 시스템과 비공식적 지원체계는 노년후기 가족의 삶의 질에 큰 영향력을 가질 뿐만 아니라, 노인에 대한 가족 지원을 조절하기 때문에 전방위적으로 구축되어야 한다. 본 연구는 노인의 일상적 건강성을 향상시키고, 노인에 대한 가족지원체계를 보완하며, 성공적이고 행복한 삶의 질에 대하여 파악하고자 한다. 노인의 삶의 질 향상은 노년기 삶의 긍정적 마무리 및 행복감과 관련성이 높다. 따라서, 노년기 공식적 비공식적 지원체계의 다양한 지원과 동시에 가족 지지의 대처자원을 발굴하고, 보완가능한 대체가족 지원시스템을 개발, 강화시켜 독거노인과 돌봄노인의 케어시스템을 다차원적으로 확충해 나가야 할 것이다.

The study aims to comprehend the health needs of multicultural families, identify relevant policies, and explore ways to enhance health information accessibility through Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Employing a qualitative research method, the health status of multicultural families was analyzed through literature review, followed by in-depth interviews. The findings revealed a lower priority given to health policies for multicultural families compared to other governmental sectors, with limited discussion on leveraging ICT for improved accessibility. In-depth interviews highlighted four main themes: "Early experiences in Korean society," "Language barriers in medical facilities," "Unmet healthcare needs for various reasons," and "High demand for health-related services." To safeguard health rights and enhance information accessibility, we recommend strengthening linguistic support in healthcare institutions, implementing government efforts for multicultural families, and designing user-centered ICT platforms.
