Nursing home plays a role in providing elderly care in the context of China's rapid population aging, but little understanding of the efficiency of the nursing homes. In this paper, we investigated the efficiency in nursing homes using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist index (MPI) for the modeling of the number of nursing home beds, fixed assets, and medical personnel as input variables, and the number of elderly people of self-care, the number of elderly people of partial self-care, the number of bed-ridden elderly people and the income of nursing homes as output variables. Stratification analysis showed that the top two provinces in the DEA-CCR yield were Beijing and Shanghai in the five-year survey period. Four provinces (Beijing, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Shanghai) scored 1.00 in terms of DEA-BCC yield. The MPI analysis showed that Hainan ranked the highest five-year average in the included provinces. In terms of resource utilization, internal management, operation scale, and other aspects, the nursing homes in the provinces with high-efficiency evaluation results show high efficiency and technological progress, whereas the areas with low-efficiency evaluation showed a feature of the improving technical efficiency.

Currently, the number of Long-Term Care Hospital in Korea is continuously increasing with the increase in the elderly population. Patients admitted to Long-Term Care Hospital are mainly elderly with chronic diseases, and because they are for long-term care, they often die in Long-Term Care Hospital, and the importance of end-of-life care is gradually increasing. In spite of these characteristics Studies on end-of-life care for nurses in Long-Term Care Hospital are mainly quantitative studies, and there is a limit to in-depth understanding of end-of-life care experiences. Therefore, The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of Long-Term Care Hospital nurses' nursing experienceof end-of-life patients through a phenomenological method, and to describe and understand the meaning of the phenomenon in depth. The subjects of this study were 7 nurses who had worked for more than 6 months at a nursing hospital located in C city. The research method was in-depth interviews, and data were collected from December 2021 to March 2022. The interview date were analyzed by Giorgi's phenomenological method. As a result of the study, 'nurses' attitude toward end-of-life care', 'ambivalence toward life prolongation', 'reality of end-of-life care in Long-Term Care Hospital', and 'reflection on life and death' were found.

Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted in Aug. 2007 that included 655 patients from 49 long-term care hospitals. The survey aimed to assess the patients' health status, family status, cost and intention of transfer to a nursing home. Institutional characteristics were analyzed from the nationwide database of Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. The affecting factors were examined by employing chi-square test and logistic regression using SAS 8.2. Result: Of the subjects, 32.4% had intention of transfer to a nursing home. The intention of transfer to a nursing home was affected by moderate or severe pain, living together with the primary carer, high cost uncovered by insurance, and recognition of nursing home. Conclusion; For appropriate service utilization. a higher level of care is needed to satisfy patients at nursing homes and a balanced fee schedule is needed between long term care hospitals and nursing homes.

This study was to address changes on hospital-based home care utilization after long-term care insurance(LTCI) was launched. National electronic data information(EDI) on hospital-based home care from Health Insurance Review Agency in 2007.7~2008.6(prior to LTCI) and in 2009(posterior to LTCI) was analyzed. After the launch of long-term care insurance, 40 hospital-based home health care agencies(HHCA) were diminished and regions not having any HHCA were increased from 53% to 59%. Hospital-based home care utilization was decreased in the elderly(clients 13.4%, visits 20.9%) as well as non-elderly(clients 3.5%, visits 3.9%). It is presumed that diminished HHCAs result in decreased accessibility to hospital-based home health care for non-elderly. The clients, visits, and reimbursed cost per agency were not changed. It is presumed that small agencies were closed already. The total reimbursed cost per agency in 2009 was 121,850,000 won. Results suggest that the government has to give support to open more HHCA to increase the accessibility for non-elderly. Also, hospital-based home care services utilization has to be monitoring regularly.

Data were collected with structured qustionnaires from November 4 from December 13, 2019. Data were analyzed SPSS/WIN 21 program for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. The significant factors of the dementia nursing performance among long-term hospitals nurses were dementia attitude (β=.280, p=.001), nursing professionalism(β=.237, p=.006), burden form BPSD(β=-.174, p=.012), and dementia education experience(β=.166, p=.014). Therefore, in order to improve dementia nursing performance among long-term care hospital nurses, it is necessary to develop program and apply dementia education to establish a positive dementia attitude and nursing professionalism, and to reduce the burden of dementia behavioral and psychological symptoms.
