This study has been performed to explore verbal and behavioral expression of sexual desires among male elderly residents who have been living in long tenn care facilities. There are three topics covered in this study; first, in what situations and how seriously do care workers encounter expression of sexual desires of the elderly residents? Second, what kind of negative consequences do they believe those sexual behaviors will lead to? Third, how can we implement defensive measures against the sexual behaviors? In this study, twenty three care workers working full time in five retirement and care facilities were asked about their experience and perception of the above study agendas, and answers of the qualitative interview were drawn as follow; first, the elderly residents apparently show a variety of sexual harassment and provoking behaviors such as sticking to specific women, physically touching and attacking, and induce obscenely activities against female residents, care workers, and volunteer visitors. Second, their sexual behaviors are often influenced by their isolated and abandoned emotionality as well as living situation in rural areas. Third, their sexual behaviors often critically affect care work plan and facility managements by severely discouraging female care givers and community supporters. Therefore in this study, suggestions and defensive measures were made as follows: first, education and counselling programs toward female workers and volunteers need to be developed, and the programs should cover psychological and behavioral mechanism of sexuality in later life. Second, self control plans need to be empowered toward the elderly residents; in the plans, the elderly residents shall be encouraged to evaluate primary cause and proper solutions of sexual behaviors of their peering residents. Third, combination of healthy housing and care facilities for frail elderly need to be integrated in a neighboring location, so that when residents and workers encounter extreme episodes of sexuality of healthy residents in a housing facility, the problematic sexual residents are partially transferred into a neighboring care facility and thereafter other residents and cafe givers are relieved from stressful contacts with the extremely sexual residents.

Objectives: This study was conducted to prepare basic data to propose the necessity and utilization of oral welfare products in the welfare services of the long-term care insurance system, focusing on facility workers working in elderly facilities. Methods: The analysis was conducted on 144 workers working at some local elderly facilities. The questionnaire was constructed by classifying the use of oral welfare tools into 6 questions and the necessity and demand for oral welfare devices into 13 questions. Frequency analysis and technical analysis were performed for data analysis, and one-way ANOVA was performed for differences in the necessity and demand for oral welfare equipment. The statistical significance level was p<0.05. Results: As a result of examining the awareness of the necessity and demand for oral welfare equipment among workers in elderly facilities, the awareness of the necessity of including oral welfare equipment in the items of welfare equipment in the current long-term care insurance system was high at 4.15 points. As a result of analyzing the correlation between awareness of care products and the need and demand for oral welfare equipment, it was confirmed that there was a statistically significant positive correlation (p<0.01). Conclusions: In the long-term care insurance system for the elderly, oral welfare products need to be considered for welfare equipment services. The provision of oral welfare products within the long-term care insurance system for the elderly can provide opportunities and services to select various self-care tools. In addition, it is expected that it will be possible to promote changes in the long-term care insurance system for the elderly and to improve the system in a variety of positive ways.

본 연구는 노인 장기요양 서비스를 제공하는 기관에서 종사하는 사회복지사들이 임종 케어 과정에서 겪는 심리·사회적 경험 및 역할에 대해 알아보았다. 심층 면접을 통한 자료 분석 결과 사회복지사들은 임종 케어 과정에서 빈번한 죽음 경험으로 인해 기가 빠지고 소진됨을 경험하였으며 돌아가신 노인분들에게 더 잘해드리지 못한 것에 대해 아쉬움과 정든 분에 대한 그리움을 나타냈다. 그리고 갑작스러운 죽음이 발생하면 가족들의 비난과 불평을 겪기도 하였다. 임종 케어시 사회복지사들의 주된 역할로 죽음 징후가 나타나면 가족들에게 수시로 연락하여 소통하였고 임종 후 주 부양자 가족들을 위로하고 지지하였다. 응급상황 대처를 위한 사전준비와 응급조치에 대한 법적 안전망, 사회복지사들의 소진을 막기 위한 재충전 프로그램 및 지지 모임, 임종 케어를 위한 표준화된 매뉴얼과 교육의 필요성이 제시되었다. 또한 노인분의 존엄한 죽음을 위하여 죽음 준비교육, 호스피스 케어, 사전 의료의향서 등의 필요성도 강조되었다.

이 연구는 노인의료복지서비스의 질적 제고를 위해 노인의료복지시설 소속 종사자들을 대상으로 관리의 변수들 간의 구조적인 관계를 살펴보기 이전에 시설유형에 따른 자기효능감과 직무만족에 대한 요양보호사들의 주관적 인식의 차이를 분석해 보고자 하였다. 실증분석결과 요양보호사들이 근무하는 노인의료복지시설 유형에 따른 인식의 차이는 없었지만 전체적으로 요양보호사들의 자기효능감과 직무만족의 충족이 노인의료서비스 제공에 있어서 중요하다는 것을 강조하였다. 따라서 이 연구는 노인의료복지시설 종사자 관리의 효율화 방안을 위한 이론적 기초를 제공하였다는데 그 의의가 있다.

Objectives : This research analyzed the general characteristics of care workers and verified the correlation among self-perceived health, job stress and customer orientation. Methods : We conducted a survey from May 1st, to May 31st, 2015 of 260 care workers who are affiliated with elderly care facilities or home care facilities in Busan, Korea. Results : The more the workers were stressed about their organizational culture, the more they recognized psychological difficulties. However, there was no correlation between organizational culture and their tendency to be oriented toward customers. It was verified that the recognized psychological health has a positive regulation effect between customer orientation and job stress such as job skill requirement(p<0.01), job autonomy(p<0.01), and organizational culture(p<0.01). Conclusions : Because both suppliers and recipients of care services are aging, it is necessary for elderly care facilities to make a greater effort to minimize the physical and psychological losses of recipients.

본 연구의 목적은 시설요양보호사의 돌봄노동에 대한 긍정적, 부정적 평가를 분석하고, 근무환경과 서비스 질과의 관계에서 요양보호사의 돌봄노동 평가의 매개효과를 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 대구 포항지역에 위치한 노인요양시설에 근무하는 요양보호사 298명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 시설요양보호사들의 돌봄노동에 대한 부정적 평가수준은 중간값 이하인 반면 긍정적 평가는 중간값 이상이었다. 근무환경은 긍정적 돌봄노동 평가에는 정(+)적 영향을 미치고, 부정적 평가에는 부(-)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 종속변수인 서비스의 질에 유의한 정(+)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 근무환경과 서비스의 질과의 관계에서 요양보호사의 긍정적, 부정적 돌봄노동 평가는 통계적으로 유의한 매개효과를 가지며, 부정적 평가보다는 긍정적 평가의 매개효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 요양보호 서비스의 질을 향상하기 위한 실천적 함의를 제시하였다.

This study examined the effect of the distance Infection Control Education Program (ICEP), developed based on the ADDIE model, on infection control knowledge, attitude, and performance among care workers in long-term care facilities nationwide. The program, developed based on the ADDIE model, was applied to 173 care workers directly responsible for nursing care of elderly residents in lomg-term care facilities. The distance ICEP for care workers was conducted through the website and lasted 30 minutes for each of the eight topics. To determine the effectiveness of the education, infection control knowledge, attitude, performance, and satisfaction were surveyed before and four weeks after the program. Differences in infection control knowledge, attitude, and performance before and after the distance ICEP were assessed by a t-test. A significant difference was observed in knowledge and infection control performance after the distance ICEP was administered to care workers. In the sub-domains of infection control performance, overall understanding of infection, regular infection control education, infection control by special pathogen (multidrug-resistant bacteria, tuberculosis, tick-borne infectious diseases), and detailed infection control education by infection site (pressure ulcers and urinary tract infections) were significantly improved. Infection control knowledge and performance improved through the distance ICEP applied to care workers. Satisfaction also displayed high scores on most items and indicated that it was helpful for infection control in facilities, confirming the effectiveness of infection control education. Based on the survey of care workers nationwide, the infection education program can be effectively used for care workers in the future.
