Purpose: To identify the relationship between care worker's awareness of human rights and the compliance of caring behaviors among long-term care workers, and to identify factors affecting compliance with caring behaviors. Methods: Using self-report questionnaires, data were collected from 153 long-term care workers between October 4th and October 20th, 2019. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. Results: The data indicate a difference in awareness of human rights according to: the careers of care workers, the possession of other health care-related licenses, and the perceived needs of human rights education. The data also indicate a difference in the compliance of caring behaviors according to: gender, family care experience, and dementia care experience. The factors influencing compliance of caring behaviors, according to the study, are gender (β=.19, p=.009), family care experience (β=.19, p=.023), and human rights (β=.38, p<.001). It was found that 23% could explain the compliance of caring behaviors. Conclusion: Long term care workers were found to have a higher level of the compliance of caring behaviors as their awareness of human rights increased. In order to increase the compliance of caring behaviors among long-term care workers, more educational programs on human rights should be provided.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand care workers' fall-related knowledge and caring behaviors for fall prevention in nursing home. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey study. Data have been collected from 125 care workers in 5 nursing homes. Data were analyzed using frequency, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: 1) The average percentage of correct answers for care workers' fall-related knowledge was 72.2%. There were significant differences in fall-related knowledge by age, experiences of re-education about care for fall injuries, and experiences to transfer fall patients to another hospital. 2) The average level of care workers' caring behaviors for fall prevention was 3.81 points out of 4. There were significant differences by experiences of education about care for fall injuries in nursing home and concern of fall injury prevention. 3) There was a significant correlation between fall-related knowledge and caring behaviors for fall prevention (r=.320, p<.001). Conclusion: The level of fall-related knowledge is positively correlated to the level of caring behaviors for fall prevention. Therefore, nurses should prepare education programs to increase care workers' fall-related knowledge and caring behaviors for fall prevention.

2007년 노인장기요양보험법이 제정되었고 이 법은 질병 및 장애가 있는 노인들에 대한 요양비용을 사회구성원들이 함께 부담하는 체계를 구축하여 노인 및 그 가족구성원의 삶의 질을 향상시키는데 그 목적이 있다. 노인장기요양보험제를 실현하기 위해 요양보호사제도가 마련되었다. 요양보호사란 거동이 불편한 노인을 시설에서 돌보거나 또는 노인이 거주하는 가정을 방문하여 보호활동을 벌이는 사람들을 말한다. 그런데 최근 발표된 국가인권위원회의 조사에 의하면 요양보호사들의 근무환경이 매우 열악한 것으로 드러났다. 저임금, 포괄임금의 남용, 장기간 근로, 인력배치기준 및 휴게시설 미비, 요양보호서비스 이외의 노무제공, 수급자에 의한 성희롱 등의 문제가 있는 것으로 나타난 것이다. 인구의 고령화가 빠른 속도로 진행되고 있고 노인들에 대한 요양보호의 중요성과 요양보호사들의 역할이 증대되고 있는 상황을 고려한다면 이들의 업무환경에 대한 개선이 절실히 필요하다. 이러한 견지에서 이 논문은 국가인권위원회가 발표한 자료를 바탕으로 노동인권의 측면에서 요양보호사들이 겪고 있는 문제점들을 살펴보고 효과적인 개선방안에 대해 논의 해본다. 결국 요양보호사들이 직면한 문제들을, 정부의 철저한 관리 감독과 요양보호사의 처우 개선 그리고 수급자의 인식 개선 등을 통해 바로잡는다면 더 나은 노동환경에서 요양보호사들이 질 높은 서비스를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the experience and meaning of falls among care workers caring for the elderly. Methods: The participants comprised 10 care workers in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The data collection period was from September to November 2020, and the data were obtained through individual in-depth interviews. The collected data were analyzed using the content analysis method of qualitative research. The main interview questions were as follows: First, in the event of a fall, "can you tell us about your experience and how you dealt with the fall?; second, "can you tell us about your role and the role of family members or the center that manages falls that occur outside of nursing visits.", third, "can you tell us about the difficulties in managing falls based on your experience?", and fourth, "how are falls that occur during nursing visits managed?" Results: As a result of analyzing the experiences of nursing care workers of falls while caring for elders in their homes, five main themes were derived. These were understanding the characteristics of the elderly at home, understanding possible emergency situations, providing caring services, minimizing physical harm, and delivering clear information. Conclusion: A significant finding of this study was that care workers who visit and provide care to elders at home confirmed the need for standard guidelines on appropriate responses in the event of a fall at home and the importance of managing emergencies arising from falls among elders at home. These results highlight the need for the development of emergency response education programs, such as programs on fall care among nurses and care workers who provide care to the elderly, and for enhanced understanding of the fall risk of elders who live at home.

이 연구는 대기업 사무직 근로자에게 적용한 원예활동 프로그램의 정신적, 생리적 효과를 확인하기 위해서 시행되었다. 53명의 사무직 근로자가 연구에 참여하였다. 참여 대상자들은 2그룹(실험군과 대조군)으로 무작위 할당되었다. 무작위 할당은 Microsoft사의 Excel 2010 program RAND 함수를 이용하여 시행되었다. 8주 실험 동안 실험군에게 1회기 당 90분씩 원예활동 프로그램을 적용하였다. 대조군에게는 아무런 처치를 하지 않았다. 실험 전과 실험 8주 후에 모든 대상자들의 변수들(스트레스, 우울, 혈당, 총콜레스테롤, HDL-C, LDL-C)을 측정하였다. 실험 전부터 실험 완료 후까지 변수들의 변화가 계산되었다. 자료는 2014년 7월부터 9월까지 수집되었다. SPSS 21.0이 통계 분석에 이용되었다. 원예활동 프로그램이 우울에 긍정적인 효과를 가졌다(z=-4.57, p< .000). 결론은 원예활동 프로그램은 우울을 향상시키는 긍정적인 효과를 가진다는 것이다. 원예활동 프로그램이 사무직 근로자의 정신 건강 증진을 위한 보완대체요법으로 활성화되기를 기대한다.

Results: Service quality for the elders was significantly correlated to the level of knowledge and skills, as well as the information cognition for the elders, and frequency of educational participation. Service quality for the elders was statistically significant predictors of knowledge and skills, and information cognition for the elders. These two variables accounted for 37% of the variance in service quality for the elders.

This study analysed the effect of mothers' work status on time use in child care and use of market child care services. There were two major questions: Do self-employed (and family worker without being paid) mothers have a flexible work schedule and so can they care her child(ren) well? If it is true, is the work status as self-employee related to non-market child care services? To answer these questions, 1,196 samples were selected from the Time Use Data of 1999, which had been administered by Korea National Statistical Office. Major results were as follows: First, a mother who is family workers without being paid made time to care children frequently more than wage earners. Second, according to regression analysis, mothers' work status was one of the important variables to explain child care activity frequency. Third, among categories of child caring ('physical caring', 'non-physical caring', and 'caring of the others'), mothers spent more frequently in 'caring of the others', and had higher probability to use market child care services. But the more frequently a mother made time in 'non-physical caring' for her child, the lower probability to choose market child care services. In conclusion, it was certain that self-employed mothers benefit from a flexible time schedule at work places. But the relationship of child care activity frequency with use of market child care services was inconsistent.

치매인구의 증가와 더불어 노인 장기요양 서비스 및 이의 돌봄 주체인 요양보호사 역할에 대한 중요성은 아무리 강조해도 지나침이 없다. 본 연구는 요양보호사들의 치매노인 돌봄경험을 통해 돌봄행위 내면에 배어 있는 돌봄의 의미를 알아보고 행위수행의 촉진 및 장애요인을 파악하여 질적인 돌봄제공을 위한 가이드라인으로 삼고자 하였다. 이를 위해 질적 연구방법 중 서술묘사적 방법을 적용하여 요양보호사들의 경험을 심도 있게 파악해 보고자 하였다. 치매교육과정을 이수한 10명의 요양보호사를 대상으로 심층인터뷰 방법을 적용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 인터뷰자료는 질적내용분석 방법을 적용하여 직업선택의 기준, 역할수행위기, 그리고 역할 수행 전략 등으로 나누어 분석되었다. '넓은문', '돌봄의 상품화' 등이 직업 선택기준으로 도출되었으며, 역할수행적 측면에서는 역할위기로 '내마음의 벽', '질병의 벽', '사회적 벽'이 주제로 도출되었다. 마지막, 수행전략으로 '나는 촛불이다', '자율성과 지속성', 그리고 '사회적 효의 실천자' 등이 주제로 나타났다. 본 연구는 돌봄이 가정에서 무보수 성차적 역할로 가치폄하 되던 사회적 고정관념으로부터 사회적 효의 실천이라는 새로운 상품브랜드로 재탄생되고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 일터영성(공동체 의식, 일의 의미)과 돌봄수행(정서적, 사회적, 영적) 그리고소진 간의 관계를 규명하고, 일터영성이 돌봄수행에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 소진의 조절효과를 파악하는 것이다. 설문조사는 전국 68개 완화의료 전문기관의 의사, 간호사, 사회복지사, 성직자를 대상으로 하였으며, 총 114부를 SPSS Statistics 21로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 일터영성의 하위요인중에서 공동체의식은 심리적 돌봄에 영향을 미치고, 일의의미는 사회적 돌봄과 영적 돌봄에유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 소진은 돌봄수행에 직접적인 영향을 미치지는않지만 소진의 독립적 영향력을 측정한 사후분석에서 사회적 돌봄과 영적 돌봄에 미미한 정도의 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 셋째, 소진은 일터영성이 돌봄수행에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 조절효과가 없는 것으로 검증되었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 시사점, 제한점 및 추후 연구과제에 대하여 논의하였다.
