Background: The food and food service influence the quality of life and the general health condition of older persons living in long-term care (LTC) facilities. Purchasing good food materials is a ground of good food service. In Korea, the residents in LTC facilities should pay for the cost of food materials and ingredients out of their pocket because it is not covered by LTC insurance. This study explored what factors affect the cost of food materials paid by LTC facility residents and which factor affects most. Methods: We used data from the study on out-of-pocket payment on national LTC insurance, which surveyed 1,552 family caregivers of older residents in LTC facilities. We applied conditional multi-level model, of which the first level represents the characteristics of care receivers and caregivers and its second level reflects those of LTC facilities. Results: We found that the facility residents with college-graduated family caregivers paid 11,545 Korean won more than those with less than elementary-graduated ones. However, the income level of family caregivers did not significantly affect the amount of the food material cost of the residents. The residents in privately owned, large, metropolitan-located facilities were likely to pay more than those in other types of facilities. The amount of the food material cost of the residents was mainly decided by the facility level factors rather than the characteristics of care recipients and their family caregivers (intra-class correlation=82%). Conclusion: These findings suggest that it might be effective to design a policy targeting facilities rather than residents in order to manage the cost of food materials of residents in LTC facilities. Setting a standard price for food materials in LTC facilities, like Japan, could be suggested as a feasible policy option. It needs to inform the choice of LTC users by providing comparable food material cost information. The staffing requirement of nutritionist also needs to be reviewed.

본 연구는 새롭게 도입된 노인장기요양보험제도 체계 내에서 공적보호서비스(시설보호서비스와 재가보호서비스)를 이용하게 되는 요인과 두 서비스유형간의 선택을 결정하게 되는 요인을 밝히고자 한다. Andersen의 행동모델에 기반하여 노인장기요양서비스 이용형태를 결정하는 소인요인과 자원요인, 욕구요인의 영향을 검증하는 연구모형을 구성하였으며, 노인장기요양보험 2차 시범사업의 서비스 이용권리가 있는 요양 1~3등급의 노인 5,497명의 서비스 이용자료와 개인적 특성 자료를 활용하여 다항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 서비스 이용의 본인부담금을 나타내는 소득수준에 따라 서비스 이용형태에 차이가 나타났다. 국민기초생활보호대상자, 일반소득계층, 차상위계층의 순으로 서비스 이용이 높았으며, 재가보호서비스에 비해 시설보호서비스의 이용이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 군지역에 비해 대도시와 중소도시가 시설보호서비스 또는 재가보호서비스를 이용할 확률이 높으며, 특히 중소도시의 경우 재가보호서비스보다는 시설보호서비스 이용이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 요양 1~2등급이 3등급에 비해 시설보호서비스 또는 재가보호서비스 이용이 높으나, 등급에 따른 서비스 이용 유형간 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 넷째, 일상생활수행능력(ADL), 수단적 일상생활수행능력(IADL), 인지기능과 문제행동의 기능이 나쁠수록 시설보호서비스 이용이 높으며, 재가보호보다는 시설보호를 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 간호처치영역은 기능상태가 나쁠수록 서비스 이용이 적고, 재활영역의 기능상태는 통계적 유의미성을 나타내지 못하였다. 이와같은 연구결과를 통해 현 노인장기요양보험제도의 본인부담금의 조정과 지역별 균형적인 서비스인프라 구축의 필요성을 제기하며, 또한 요양등급판정체계의 재검증의 필요성을 제기하는 바이다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to provide information on the extent and variations of elderly residents' nursing care needs, and provision of nursing care across long term care facilities. Methods: A nationwide survey was conducted on nurse managers from 1,041 long term care facilities, by e-mail or fax, from August 16 to September 30 in 2017. A self-reported questionnaire consisting of 5 domains was used to collect data. Results: Facilities with more than 30 residents were more likely to need skilled nursing services and to obtain the nursing staff such as a registered nurse and a nurse's aide. Awareness and satisfaction of hospital-based home nursing care was high in all facilities. In addition, there are some differences in nurse managers' perceptions of the level of healthcare resources and required action by facility size. Nurse managers of senior congregate housings were more likely to have considerable difficulty in dealing with healthcare needs of residents and recognizing the healthcare resource shortage. A majority of nurse managers agreed on the need to employ a registered nurse. Conclusion: This study confirmed that it is essential to increase nurse staffing level and to reform the long term care insurance for enhancing the accessibility of healthcare services, especially for the residents in small long term care facilities. There is also a need to provide diverse education and training opportunities for nursing staff working in long term care facilities.

Through an examination of future societal development, it was found that the demographic structure is gradually aging, thus placing higher demands on elderly welfare centers. This study conducted surveys on three elderly day care centers in the entire region, aiming to enhance the pivotal role of elderly day care centers in the welfare facilities for the elderly. The current usage status, interior architectu/ral evaluations, and questionnaire surveys of these centers were analysed. The results of investigation into the architectural environment of the elderly day care centers showed that in terms of physical environment, smaller-scale centers did not lag behind larger ones in internal facilities, but larger-scale centers excelled in spatial utilization. Furthermore, the results of questionnaire survey results revealed correlations between family relationships, health status, level of assistance required, and satisfaction with facility usage, while no correlation was found between usage time, health status, and satisfaction with facility usage. This study conducted basic investigations such as architectural and physical surveys, and questionnaire surveys on elderly day care centers. Based on the survey results, future design practices should continuously explore and innovate to meet the needs of an aging society, further improve the community care system, provide more comprehensive and meticulous services for the elderly, and lay the foundation for enhancing the quality of life for the elderly and providing comfortable services.
