목적: 병원에서 재가 및 시설로 퇴원한 환자가 지역사회에서 건강을 유지하기 위해서는 전환기 돌봄서비스(Transitional care services)가 필요하다. 이를 위해 지역사회 내 의료서비스와 자원을 연계하는 주치의의 역할이 중요시된다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 바탕으로 일차진료 의사들의 환자중심성에 대한 인식을 파악하여 환자중심 기반의 서비스 제공을 위해 필요한 정책을 제시하였다. 또한 Transitional Care Service에 대한 일차진료 의사들의 인식을 확인하고 인구사회학적 요인과의 관계를 확인함으로써 서비스 우선순위를 도출하고자 하였다. 방법: 본 연구는 전국의 가정의학과, 내과, 신경과 등 노인 질환과 관련 있는 과의 전문의 자격증이 있으며 자발적으로 온라인 설문조사에 참여할 의사를 표현한 일차진료 의사 259명을 대상으로 수행되었다. 환자중심성 및 전환기 돌봄서비스에 대한 인식을 살펴보기 위해 구조화된 설문지를 개발하였으며, 조사전문업체를 통해 2019년 10월 28일부터 2019년 11월 22일까지 온라인으로 설문조사를 수행하였다. 결과: 본 연구에 대한 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일차진료 의사들을 대상으로 9가지 전환기 돌봄서비스 인식에 대해 살펴본 결과 "입원 시 진단, 건강상태, 치료계획 및 결과 에 대한 설명(4.4)"과 "퇴원 후 자가 건강관리를 위한 정보 및 훈련 (4.2)"에 대한 필요성이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 35세 이상 일차진료 의사가 34세 이하 일차진료 의사보다 전환기 돌봄서비스에 대한 인식이 높게 나타났다(F=7.3, p<0.01). 또한, 환자중심성에 대한 인식이 높을수록, 연령이 높을수록, 서울 외 지역에서 근무할수록 전환기 돌봄서비스에 대한 인식이 높게 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 일차의료를 제공하는 의료진들을 위한 교육프로그램과 지역사회에서 일차의료 의사들을 중심으로 하는 지역 연계 방안을 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the transition experiences of the elderly from long-term care hospitals to their homes. Methods: The participants were eight elderly medicaid beneficiaries, who had been the subjects from the community care project in Korea. The data were collected with one-on-one interviews from April to November in 2020, and analyzed by phenomenological steps. Results: The seven themes derived in this study were 'Space to escape', 'Reliable supporter opened the way to discharge', 'Comfortable life at home', 'Obstacles to independent life', 'Struggling to live alone', 'Fence for community life', and 'Energizing in daily life' Conclusion: The results revealed the positive aspects of Community Care program in Korea. However, it is suggested that active communication between hospitals and community care institutions, and improvement of home environment to live in the community before discharge should be required. And system revision is needed to adjust activity in their home and support health problems of the elderly in the early stage of discharge. The results of this study can be referred to as the foundation of transitional care for the elderly.

Since the Framework Act on Healthy Families came into effect in 2005, family policy has become a primary field of social policy, and 'family' has emerged as an important keyword for solving Korean society's various phenomena and problems. In order to seek practical plans for reforming social policy through family policy, this thesis has analyzed the transitional characteristics of Korean families in relation to where Korean families currently stand and the situation they are facing. This thesis has also reviewed the content of family policy in the master plan of healthy families, the starting point of the actual family policy, and other related policies. It also has analyzed the key content of child care support policy. From these various analyses and discussions, this thesis has emphasized "family care" as the keyword of family policy, family effect analysis as the means of reinforcing family perspective, and family integrity for policy effectiveness.

This study examined how middle-aged and elderly persons allocated their time in overall perspective and whether the patterns were varied by age, socio-demographic factors, and the interaction effect between them. This study analyzed the 2009 Time Use Survey Data (17,096 time-diaries of people aged 45 or more) of the National Statistical Office using tobit regression model. The main results are as follows. First, middle-aged and elderly people gradually decreased paid work times. Second, the patterns of time allocation were varied by age, gender, education level, marital status and household type(Agricultural/non-agricultural). Third, there were interaction effects between age and the socio-demographic factors on paid work time and leisure time. Highly educated or urban persons were likely to have less time in paid work less than other groups with increasing age. And females were likely to have less time in domestic labor and care work than males with increasing age. But they had more time in social and economic productive activities than males. Based on these findings, this study suggests comprehensive approach to analyze the time use of elderly beyond economic working time or leisure time. To establish effective ageing society policy, it is necessary to consider the time allocation of elderly which divided into the social stratification.
