Purpose: This study was conducted to test effects of a cognition activation program on ADL, cognitive functions, depression, and QOL in the institutionalized elderly. Methods: The subjects were 40 elders who were admitted to a nursing home, with 20 of them in the experimental group and the other 20 in the control group. Data were collected from September 1 to December 17, 2012. The experimental group participated in a 12 week intervention program. ADL, cognitive functions, depression, and QOL were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed by t-test and regression analysis of the SPSS and AMOS programs. Results: ADL (t=2.468, p=.017), depression (t=-2.625, p=012), and QOL (t=2.428, p=.020) were more significantly improved in the experimental group than in the control group, but there were no statistical differences in cognitive function between the two groups. Cognitive functions had positive effects on ADL (CR=-2.263, p=.024) and depression affected QOL (CR=-7.248, p<.001). Conclusion: The intervention program had positive effects on ADL, depression, and QOL except cognition. Cognitive functions of elders dramatically decrease after age 85, and it takes too much time to improve it. Therefore the program for the improvement of cognitive functions should be provided as early as possible.

현재 우리나라의 재가간호서비스는 보건소의 맞춤형 방문건강관리사업과 의료기관 가정간호사업, 그리고 노인장기요양보험의 방문간호서비스의 독립성과 전문성을 인정하면서, 각 영역간의 연계를 통해 사업의 중복성을 최소화하는 연계방안이 필요한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 재가간호서비스의 연계방안을 도출하기 위해 전문가들의 의견을 바탕으로 합의를 이끌어내는 델파이 기법을 활용하였다. 그 결과 제도적 차원의 연계와 의료적 차원의 연계라는 두 영역 안의 총 24개 항목이 연계방안으로 도출되었다. 재가간호서비스의 연계방안으로 도출된 24개의 항목은 재가간호사업 체계의 개선과 제공되는 서비스 질의 향상, 대상자의 만족도 증대 효과를 가져 올 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 서비스의 중복을 최소화할 수 있는 방안을 모색함으로서 국가적 차원에서 복지 및 국민 건강관리의 효율성을 증대할 것으로 보인다. 이를 통해 궁극적으로 국민의료비의 절감과 더불어 재가간호서비스 증진에 기여할 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구는 일차적으로 노인장기요양보험 급여방식 중 현물급여와 현금급여의 선택에 있어서 비공식 가족수발자들의 현금급여 선호도를 알아보고, 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악함으로써 현금급여 도입의 필요성을 인식하는데 목적이 있다. 이차적으로는 조건부 가치측정법을 이용하여 비공식적 가족수발에 대한 적정 현금급여액을 추정함으로써 미래 현금급여 도입 시 수가산정을 위한 기초 자료로 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구를 위한 조사는 서울시 소재 3차 의료기관 3곳에서 현재 환자를 돌보고 있는 환자의 보호자 300명을 대상으로 하였다. 경증과 중증 두 가지 유형의 가상의 시나리오 및 구조화된 설문지를 제시한 후 현금급여를 수용할 최소한의 보상금액(Willingness-To-Accept, WTA)을 이중경계 양분선택형 질문으로 구하였으며, 일대일 직접 면접법을 이용하였다. 연구결과, 경증노인에 대해서는 52.7%가, 중증노인에 대해서는 26.0%만이 현금급여 서비스를 선호하였다. 경증노인에 대한 적정 현금급여액은 월 평균 62.8만원, 중증 노인에 대한 적정 현금급여액은 월 평균 107.2만원인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 비공식적 수발자가 직면하는 각기 다른 상황에 대한 실제 현금급여 선호도를 확인함으로써 현금급여 도입의 필요성을 인식하였으며, 잠재적 가족수발자들의 시간손실 보상액으로서 수발자가 받아들일 수 있는 주관적 수발비용을 적정 현금급여액으로 추정함으로써 현행 특별현금급여액의 적정성을 평가하는데 보다 현실적인 기준을 마련하였다는데 함의가 있다고 하겠다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of visiting nursing services in long-term care (LTC) insurance on changes in health status and physical functions among the elderly. Methods: We analyzed survey data on the living status and welfare needs of the elderly from 2008 and 2011 using the difference-in-difference method with propensity score matching. Results: The subjects were 76 elders including 38 visiting nursing service users(intervention group) and 38 home-based LTC service users (control group). Results from DID analysis confirmed that the subjective health status level of the intervention group was 2.2 points higher (p=.044) and the depression level was 0.3 point lower (p=.039) than the control group. In addition, the intervention group's ADL score was 1.9 (p=.027) and IADL 3.9 (p=.030), showing that their health was deteriorated less. Conclusion: Visiting nursing service in LTC insurance was associated with delayed deterioration of subjective health status, depression, ADL and IADL. These findings suggest the need of rebuilding visiting nursing service programs focusing on prevention services, which will be more contributive to elderly health care and the reduction of social costs.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to explore the functional status of elderly residents and to analyze time use, and finally identify factors to predict nursing care needs in relation to functional status and health related variables. Methods: In this study a descriptive-correlational design was used. Functional status of participants was obtained through interviews, and nursing care time was examined using a 1 min time-motion study with a standardized instrument developed by Korea Long-Term Care Planning Committee (2005). Results: The mean total functional score was 65 (range 28-125) and mean total nursing care time was 144.15 min per day. There were significant positive relationships between total nursing care time, marital status, back pain, dementia, and vision impairment. Multiple regression analyses showed that a liner combination of number of illnesses, types of primary disease, ADL, IADL, cognitive function, nursing demand, and rehabilitation demand explained 42.8% of variance of total nursing time. ADL (${\beta}$=-.533) was the most significant predictor of nursing service need. Conclusion: Identifying factors that result in variations of service need has implications for adequate nursing service, estimation of optimum nurse to patient ratio, quality of care and patient safety.

한국은 저출생 현상과 급속한 고령화로 인하여 노인돌봄 위기에 처해 있다. 2008년 노인장기요양보험이 본격적으로 실시되면서 노인돌봄의 사회화가 이루어지게 되었으나 다양하지 못한 서비스 선택권, 맞춤형 돌봄의 부족, 커뮤니티 케어의 불안정함 등으로 돌봄의 공백은 아직 사회문제로 남아있다. 또한 고령화의 진전에 따라 치매유병율의 증가는 새로운 사회위기이다. 이러한 상황에서 복지기술은 부족한 자원과 증가하는 수요의 공백을 메꾸어줄 미래의 중요한 대안이다. 본 논문에서는 지역에서 다양하게 제공되고 있는 치매서비스를 경험한 바 있는 경증치매노인 집단그룹면접, 치매고위험군 집단그룹면접을 통해 복지기술에 대한 친밀성, 접근성, 치매예방방안 등을 파악하였다. 치매 정도에 따른 차이는 있으나 두 그룹 모두 복지기술을 활용한 치매서비스에 관심이 높았다. 특히, 일상생활에서 자립적 훈련은 친밀한 도구인 TV나 전화를 활용하는 방안이 제시되었고 경증치매노인군의 경우 데이케어센터에서 기술활용을 위한 도움서비스와 가정 내 연계방안의 필요성이 제시되었다.

Before introducing the national long-term care insurance in 2008, the want for long term care service has to be estimated and analysed. This study estimates the demand and analyses what determines the want of long term care service. This study investigated data of 3f6 elderlies, that was collected by age stratified random sampling. The elderies resided in Onyang 4 - dong (urban area) and Dogo-myun (rural area) In the city of Asan. The researchers visited the elderlies and their care giver, and assessed their demand for the long term care service and examined physical, mental, socio-economic status by the assessment tools for Korean Long-Term Care System. $64\%$ of the those who are entitled to be served refuse the long term care service. $26.7\%$ of them wants for home care service and $7.9\%$ want facility care service. It is estimated that the want of home care service are three or four times as much as that of facility care service. The demand for long term care service is 5.155 times higher for those who live in rural area (p=0.000), 3.040 times higher for those who do not have spouse(p=0.057), and 3.356 times higher for the people who is in medicaid than medical insurance(p=0.029). However, income(p=0.782), means(p=0.614), living alone(p=0.223), number of family to live with (p=0.341) and age of the elderly(p=0.420) are not related with the demand of long term care service. The assessment tools for Korean Long-Term Care System for need evaluation of the long term care service can reflect the demand well.(p=0.024) If medical care will cover $80\%$ of total cost, the willingness to pay of the out of pocket money of the people with medical insurance is 67,400 Korean Won(66.77 US$) for the home care service and 182,500 Korean Won(180.78 US$) for the facility care service. There is possibility that long term care demand is still small after Introducing the long term care Insurance due to the care given by family members. When developing service delivery system of long term care insurance, rural area has to be given more consideration than urban area because of the higher demand. The people who do not have spouse or are in medicaid have to be given special consideration as well.

Objectives: This study confirms the current status of visiting oral health-care services for the elderly to draw policy implications for revitalization of the visiting oral health care services in the future. Methods: First, a survey was conducted on health centers about the current status of the elderly visiting oral health-care service and how to revitalize it. Next, the number of oral hygiene services provided to the elderly was checked in the long-term care insurance system. Results: Oral health education (100%) was the most common practice in visiting oral health-care service for the elderly, and the most difficult thing in providing services was the lack of dental hygienists (38.9%). The status of oral health-care services in the long-term care insurance system for elderly revealed that the total number of service claims has been confirmed to be zero since the introduction of the system. Conclusions: Despite the existence of a system that provides elderly visiting oral healthcare services, to revitalize it, the law must be amended to secure a dental hygienist as the main agent of the activity and to further take responsibility for autonomous authority and performance.
