Although the proportion of frail elderly among the elderly population has been rapidly increasing, there is little preparation to provide housing alternatives for them in Korean society. Long-term care facility a housing alternative for frail elderly that enables them to receive social and medical care services that enhance the quality of their life. This research was conducted to study the opinions of middle-aged Koreans about long-term care facilities for the frail elderly. This study provides useful suggestions for the development of user-paid long-term care facilities in the near future. A survey questionnaire was administered to 600 adults in their 50s to collect data. The sample was stratified according to region, gender, and housing structure type. The results showed that most of the respondents were aware of long-term care facilities for the frail elderly; but they were relatively unwilling to live in these facilities, as compared to other housing alternatives. However, a larger number of respondents said that as they became very frail, they would be willing to live in these facilities. The respondents expressed a high level of need for user-paid long-term care facilities as an alternative to hospitalization. Also, they wanted to have a variety of long-term care facilities that are designed for different levels of disability. The education level of respondents and their spouses, average monthly income, subjective economic level, and religion were major variables that differentiated significantly the opinions about long-term care facilities for the frail elderly.

이 논문은 노인의료복지시설의 현황과 시설체계에 관한 논문으로 부산시를 대상으로 하였다. 현황 분석과 설문조사을 통해 그에 따른 문제점을 분석하고, 해결방안으로 새로운 유형의 시설체계를 제시하였다. 현재 노인의료복지시설들은 입소대상자들을 다양하게 수용하고 있지 못하며, 각각 독립적으로 운영되고 있어서 한 시설 안에서 전문적인 치료와 요양을 동시에 할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점들을 토대로 본 논문에서는 그 해결방안으로 좀 더 넓은 범위에 걸쳐서 한 장소에서 요양과 전문적인 치료가 가능한 'one-stop service system' 체계를 제언하였다. 설문조사 결과들을 종합하여, 구상한 5가지 유형의 시설체계는 다음과 같다. 1) 무료전문요양시설 + 노인전문병원, 2) 유료전문요양시설 + 노인전문병, 3) 노인전문병원 + 실버타운 주거공간 형식의 입원실, 4) 실비전문요양시설 + 노인전문병원 + 실버타운 주거공간 형식의 입원실, 5) 노인전문병원 + 재가복지서비스. 노인관련시설은 더 이상 특수한 시설이 아니라, 누구든 언젠가는 이용 하게 될 시설이라는 점에 착안할 때, 그에 대한 대책 마련은 시급하다고 생각된다. 앞으로 노인의 질환의 종류 및 정도가 보다 중복, 중대화 될 것으로 보인다. 따라서 보다 다양하고 전문화된 시설이 요구될 것으로 예상된다.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인을 모시고 있는 가족부양자를 대상으로 재가복지서비스에 대한 이용의사와 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석함으로써 향후 노인부양의 사회적 지원방안을 보다 효과적으로 마련하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 서비스 이용의사에 영향을 미치는 요인을 선행요인, 가능태 요인, 욕구요인으로 구분하여 이용행위를 분석한 Anderson-Newman 모델을 기반으로, 총 230명의 가족부양자가 분석에 포함되었다. SAS 6.12를 이용하여 빈도분석, 교차분석과 함께, 서비스 이용의사에 있어 다양성이 포함될 수 있도록 다중명목 로지스틱 분석(Multinominal logistic analysis)을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 재가복지서비스를 이용하겠다는 의향은 85.9%로 나타났으며 시설보호서비스도 비슷한 수준인 86.9%이었다. 그러나 재가복지서비스는 무료 또는 유료라도 사용하겠다는 의사가 각각 50%씩 나타난 반면, 시설보호서비스는 유료라도 사용하겠다는 의사가 91.1%로 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 또한 장기요양 발생시 대처방안에 있어서도 가족이 전담하기보다는 장기요양보험제도나 사회적 고용지원제도와 연결시키려는 욕구가 높았다. 재가복지서비스 이용의사에 영양을 미치는 요인을 분석해보면, 서비스를 이용할 의사여부는 연령, 부양자와 노인간의 우애관계, 노인부양 가치관과 같은 선행요인(predisposing factors)이나, 노인부양의 경제적 혹은 심리적 부담, 가족내 추가로 돌봐야 할 가족원 유무 등과 같은 서비스 이용의 직접적인 욕구와 연결된 요인(need factors)들이 주요한 영향력을 보이고 있다. 반면 서비스를 이용하겠다는 사람들 중 무료 옥은 유료 이용의사를 주요하게 구분하는 것은 가능태 요인(enabling factors)으로, 소득수준이 높을수록, 주부양자를 대체할 부부양자가 없을수록 유료라도 사용하겠다는 의향이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과에 기초하여 향후 노인부양을 위한 사회적 서비스의 지원 방향성과 대책이 제시되었다.
