Purpose: This study aims to investigate factors related to long-term length of stay (LOS) of patients with chronic diseases in Korean veterans hospitals. Methods: The subjects were 196 elderly patients with chronic disease staying in the hospital for more than 10 days, Data were collected by the survey of patients with structured questionnaires and medical records review by nurses from July 15 to August 10, 2019. Collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The present and desired LOS were 37.78±32.66 days and 60.87±45.95 days, respectively. Factors affecting hospital LOS were found to be main disease (genitourinary) (p<.001), assistance in activities of daily living (p<.001), area of hospital (p<.001), payment of medical fees (p=.026), hospital satisfaction (p=.036) and the explanatory power of these variables was 26.4%. The most common health problems that need to be solved after discharge were symptom alleviation and health promotion. These problems can be solved using community-based facility services or visiting medical-welfare services (especially home care nursing). Conclusion: In order to reduce hospital LOS, the following measures are required: personalized self-management education, provision of transportation services for dialysis therapy of inactive patients, linking patients with visiting medical-welfare services including home care nursing and mobile healthcare services, operation of the case management system including the notice of the discharge date at admission, interim check of patient status, and connecting the patient with community resources or transferring the patient to long-term care facilities at discharge.

This study investigated the job stress and job satisfaction of caregivers who work to substitute the care of family. The purpose was to improve the quality of elderly welfare services and maintain a healthy family. Data were collected from 239 caregivers working in long-term care facilities in Gwangyang in Jeonnam in October 2010. They were analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program. The statistics used for analysis were correlation and regression. The results of this study are as follows. First, most of the subjects were women in their forties or fifties. Most of them worked to support their families and, on average, earned less than 1.5 million won. The relation of job stress and job satisfaction appeared negative. The stress of relationships, income, and the number of clients had significant effects on job satisfaction. First and foremost, these results mean that a reduction in the job stress of caregivers is essential to provide them. So it is suggested that wage increases and more professional education or interpersonal skills training should be provided and a standardized test to assess job stress and job satisfaction should be prepared to improve the quality of caregivers.

2008년 7월 노인장기요양보험제도 도입으로 공적 급여가 시작된 장기요양서비스 중 복지용구는 노인의 자립생활 지원 및 가족의 수발부담 경감 효과가 기대되는 중요한 서비스이다. 새로운 제도 도입 후 일 년이 경과한 현 시점에서 소비자에게 직접 복지용구를 제공하고 있는 복지용구사업소의 운영 현황을 파악하고자 전국 복지용구사업소를 대상으로 우편설문조사를 실시하였다. 194개소의 조사 자료를 분석한 결과, 대부분의 복지용구사업소는 관리, 인력, 시설, 서비스 등의 측면에서 보완해야할 여러 가지 문제들이 발견되었다. 복지용구사업소의 월매출액은 평균 797만원에 불과하여 경영상 어려움을 가질 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 배상책임보험은 절반 정도만이 가입되어 있어 사고 시 대비할 수 있는 체계가 갖추어지지 않은 경우가 많았으며, 정규직 인력 평균 2.6명 중 사회복지사 및 물리치료사는 약 20%에 불가하며 전문적 교육을 이수한 경험은 거의 없었다. 뿐만 아니라 세정소독시설을 갖춘 사업소 중 오염청결구역을 구분하는 비율은 44.8%에 불과하여 실제 세정·소독의 의미가 없는 경우가 많았다. 이에 양질의 복지용구서비스가 이루어지기 위해서는 배상책임보험 가입을 통한 불의의 사고에 대비, 복지용구 관련 인력에 대한 교육, 대여 복지용구의 세정소독 관리 강화 등이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Indoor air quality control has been strengthened within childcare facilities and welfare communities for the elderly and infirm. I have researched the indoor air quality of kids caf$\acute{e}$s. The quality was determined by the measurement of $CO_2$ and HCHO, and the result was used in understanding of the current status of indoor air quality control. The higher level of $CO_2$ and HCHO were found in the playground area where children use compared to the area for guardians in kids caf$\acute{e}$s. And the more people in the caf$\acute{e}$s, the more $CO_2$ and HCHO were generated. It is judged that kids furniture produce harmful substances for children. Hence, the government regulations for kids caf$\acute{e}$s should be improved by reinforcing the indoor air quality control, considering that the main customers are children not adults.

우리나라는 경제발전과 보건의료의 발달로 인한 평균수명의 연장과 저출산 등으로 세계에서 가장 급속도로 인구구조의 고령화 문제에 직면하고 있다. 정부는 이러한 사회적 구조 및 노인문제를 해결하기 위하여 장기요양대상 노인의 삶의 질 향상과 가족부양 부담의 완화 등을 목적으로 노인장기요양보험법을 제정 시행 중에 있다. 하지만, 노인장기요양보험제도의 시행결과, 시설의 민영화와 난립으로 서비스의 공적 책임과 시설의 질 제고에 대한 요청이 확산되고 있다. 이 밖에, 저임금 요양인력의 양산, 질 개선에 관한 과제, 재원조달 방식에 관한 문제, 등의 대비가 다각도로 필요하다. 이에 노인장기요양보험제도가 장기 지속적으로 유지 발전하기 위해서는 시대적인 사회환경의 변화에 따라 법 제도적 측면의 개선방안의 모색과 더불어 노인복지서비스가 신체적 건강뿐만 아니라 노후 생활의 안정을 위한 정신적 심리적 조치를 강구하는 방안을 검토한다.
