Purpose: This study aimed to classify nursing interventions by developing a list of interventions for family nursing care. Methods: A new intervention list was confirmed after the researchers' discussion and professional consult. All possible interventions were re-organized. Results: Five grand categories were identified, which include health education, providing direct nursing care, utilization and referral of community resources, reinforcing family resources, and stress management. The category of health education consists of anticipatory guidance, training and education, providing information, and consult and motivation. The category of providing direct nursing care consists of identifying problem, providing technical nursing, providing family tailored nursing care, family contract, monitoring or evaluation, and collaboration with experts. The utilization and referral of community services includes utilization of health care facilities, utilization of social welfare facilities, use of neighbors, friends, and relatives, connecting to professionals or supporting groups, and utilization of other sources. Reinforcing family resources includes reinforcing economic resources, reinforcing physical resources, and reinforcing human resources. Stress management includes reorganization of perception, resolving conflicts, division of role, preparing communication strategies, time management, creating familiarity, supporting spirituality, and developing sense of humor. Conclusion: This study provides useful resources to promote nursing activities by identifying possible family nursing interventions.

Purpose: This is a comparative study using secondary data from the Korean national long term care (LTC) insurance. Methods: Visiting nursing (VN) service users (n=666) and non-users (n=4,375) were extracted and compared in terms of medical expenditures, length of hospitalization, and annual number of ambulatory care visits to investigate effects of VN services in LTC. Results: Total health care expenditures were compared between the two groups and it was found that VN service users spent about $ 1700 than non-users for their medical costs between 2009 and 2011. The average length of in-hospital stay for VN service users was 19.4 days shorter than that of non-users. However, using VN services did not significantly influence the annual number of ambulatory care visits. Conclusion: The study has found that VN services are effective ways of providing community-based LTC services. We recommend LTC policy makers to further utilize VN services to deliver cost effective health care services.

Health policy is directed to equity in the provision of primary care for rural people before the year of 2, 000. This study aimed to define and identify the need for physician's care by using empirical data, and suggested an alternative of the primary care delivery system in rural areas to the government. 1. Twenty percent of the study population wanted to obtain any form of medical care services. : 9.3 percent of the population was in need for physician's care; 15 percent of the need was met by physicians, while 85 percent remained unmet at the time of survey in 1979. 2. For meeting all the need for physician's primary care, 2.9 annual physician visits per capita are demanded. An alternative, which was devised in some favourable way at reasonable cost in rural settings, was suggested. It was to deploy the physician extender such as community health practitioner in the infrastructure of the health care delivery system, whose supervision is provided by physician, based on experience of the KHDI health demonstration project. 3. One physician, two community health practitioners and two community health aides should be assigned in distant locations for meeting all the estimated need for physician's primary care for 10, 000 rural underserved residents.

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.

Purpose : Community care occupational therapy is an integrated mediation method such as evaluating and mediating daily life activities, evaluating and modifying the environment, and providing information by visiting the home where the client resides. In this study, we examine the effect of implementing a community-care occupational therapy program on the levels of depression, quality of sleep, and quality of life of elderly individuals living alone. Methods : Among the users of organizations C and D located in City B, province A, South Korea, a total of 32 elderly citizens aged above 65 were chosen as the study subjects and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. For the experimental group, a total of 24 sessions, each lasting 60 minutes, comprising a community-care occupational therapy program and each organization's own program, were conducted, with each session conducted twice a week for a total of 12 weeks. On the other hand, those in the control group participated in the existing programs of their organizations. Changes in the levels of depression, quality of sleep, and quality of life before and after the intervention were compared using the GDSSF-K, GQOL, and GQOL. Results : Overall, the levels of depression, quality of sleep, and quality of life were found to improve among the experimental group after the intervention. In a between-group comparison of the changes before and after the intervention, the experimental group was found to exhibit a more statistically significant difference than that of the control group. Conclusion : The results obtained in this study confirm that community-care occupational therapy programs have a positive effect on the levels of depression, quality of sleep, and quality of life of elderly individuals living alone. This implies that such programs may represent an effective solution for the problems of these individuals.

Purpose: This study tries to comprehend older adults' perspectives of community supports and health services in a South Korean city and identify important sociodemographic and health characteristics that affect their perspectives. Methods: 166 older adults were involved in this cross-sectional study. Questions on background characteristics and community supports and health services criteria (categorized as service accessibility, offer of services, voluntary support, or emergency care planning) based upon the WHO's Age-Friendly Cities Guide were used. The data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses. Results: emergency care planning was rated as the most important by the participants (mean age=76.24 years, 22.9% male), while its current level of performance was lowly appraised (p<.001). The rated importance for each category differed based on individual characteristics. Depression (p=.016), older age (p=.012), and restricted network type (p=.039) were significantly related to ascribing a higher degree of importance to community services. Conclusion: Community initiatives are warranted to optimize emergency care for older adults. This planning must be based on the unique characteristics of older adults in coordination with supportive resources. In addition, comprehensive assessments are warranted before implementing action plans to ensure that the multi-dimensional problems of older adults are incorporated.
