Purpose: This study examined the influencing factors of caregiver burden on the oral health-related quality of life of the spouse of an elderly person with dementia at home. Methods: The participants were 115 spouses of dementia patients registered at dementia safety centers in five health centers in D city. Data were collected from June through December in 2019, using questionnaires of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-49) and Burden Interview (BI). The data were analyzed using an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis using the IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 Program. Results: A negative correlation was observed between the oral health-related quality of life and caregiver burden (r=-37, p<.001). The caregiver burden (β=-.28, p=.001), subjective health status (β=.39, p<.001), and dental clinic visit (β=-.25, p=.002) explained 33.0% of the variance in the oral health-related quality of life. Conclusion: The development of nursing care for spouses of dementia patients will be needed to reduce the caregiver burden and enhance subjective health status and dental clinic visit, which influence the oral health-related quality of life of spouse of elderly people with dementia at home.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine health problems experienced by workers in special employment relationships (WSER) and identify coping strategies used when such problems occur. Methods: This qualitative study used the focus group interview method. Thirteen study participants included five home-visit tutors, five insurance salespersons, and three credit card recruiters. The interviews were conducted from November 2018 through January 2019, with each occupational group interview lasting about 2 hours. Analysis based on phenomenological research was independently performed by two researchers. Results: Most participants had common health problems involving vocal cord symptoms, and stress related to emotional labor and traffic accidents. The unique health problems included cystitis, musculoskeletal, and digestive symptoms in home-visit tutors; reduced vision and hearing in insurance salespersons; and mental distress in credit card recruiters. There was no protection system for their health coverage, and the company emphasized their self-employed status to avoid taking responsibility for them. Twelve participants did not purchase occupational accident insurance owing to both not having adequate information and economic burden concerning premium status. Conclusion: WSER experienced both physical and mental health problems. These problems were caused by their unstable employment status, and the social security system for their coverage being non-functioning.

본 연구에서는 장기요양보호 서비스 중 방문목욕을 이용하는 여성노인을 대상으로 방문목욕을 받으면서 경험하게 되는 신체적, 심리적 변화는 무엇인가에 대해 심층적으로 분석코자 하였다. 이를 위해 장기요양보호서 비스를 이용중인 8명의 여성노인을 대상으로 심층면접하고 서비스 이용과정 중 경험하게 되는 신체적, 심리적 경험을 질적자료로 활용하여 자료를 분석한 탐색적 연구이다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여성노인의 신체적 측면에서는 방문목욕서비스를 받는 동안 변화된 여성노인의 신체적 요인을 살펴보면 서비스 이용 후 몸이 건강해지고 편해졌으며 신체적으로도 나아지고 있다고 믿고 있었다. 둘째, 심리적 측면에서는 자신의 신체적 장애로 인해 방문목욕을 받는 것에 대해 자신의 몸을 보이는 것을 추잡하고 부끄럽게 여기다가 방문목욕을 편하게 여기게 되었다. 또한 요양보호사와의 상호작용을 통해 목욕서비스 이외에 정서적측면에서 지지를 받음으로 자신에 대한 존재가치를 긍정적으로 바라보는 모습이 나타났다. 그 결과 장애로 인해 부끄럽고 불편하며 추잡스럽게 자신을 여기던 부정적 태도에서 장애를 지닌 자신의 신체적 상태를 수용하고 받아들임으로 방문목욕서비스를 편하게 받아들이게 되는 변화의 과정이 나타나 장애수용이 현실적응에 큰 영향을 미치게 되는 계기임을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 근거하여 다음과 같이 제언하였다. 첫째, 장기요양보호에서 노인에 대한 체계적인 관리 및 정서적 안정을 높이기 위해서 자신의 장애를 수용하여 현실에 적응할 수 있도록 사회복지사의 개입과정이 도입되어야 할 것이다. 둘째, 노인에게 있어 긍정적 정서에 많은 영향을 미치는 대상이 요양보호사임을 고려할 때 단지 요양보호사로써의 역할을 벗어나 노인의 강점과 긍정성을 발견하고 강화시키는 멘토의 역할을 감당할 수 있도록 요양보호사에 대한 체계적인 교육시스템의 마련이 제안되어야 할 것이다. 셋째, 지역사회를 중심으로 장기요양기관, 방문요양기관, 복지관 등과 건강보험관리공단이 통합네트워크를 구성하여 권역별로 장기요양보호를 이용하는 가정 및 긴급·위기가정에 대해 지원하는 통합사례관리체계가 마련되어야 할 것이다.

노인장기요양보험 재가서비스의 질 향상을 목적으로 2010년도에 처음 도입된 재가장기요양기관평가제도는 재가서비스 질의 수준을 한 단계 끌어올렸다는 평가를 받고 있지만, 한편으로는 지속적인 제도개선의 필요성이 제기되었다. 재가장기요양기관평가제도의 발전을 위해서는 평가대상자인 재가장기요양기관들의 의견을 수렴하여 제도 개선에 반영함으로써 평가에 대한 피평가기관의 수용성을 높이는 것이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 '2010년 재가장기요양기관 평가'에 참여한 피평가기관 중 재가서비스 이용자의 86.7%를 차지하고 있는 방문요양기관의 평가책임자들을 대상으로 평가단계와 평가체계 전반에 대한 인식과 태도를 조사하였다. 조사는 국민건강보험공단 대용량 웹팩스 서버와 전자메일을 이용하여 진행되었으며, 3,487개 방문요양기관 중 473개소가 최종 설문을 완료하였다. 연구결과에 의하면, 평가등급에 따라 장기요양기관평가에 대한 인식과 태도에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 평가등급이 높은 기관일수록 평가준비기간이 길었고, 평가에 대한 이해도가 높았으며, 평가항목들이 장기요양서비스의 질을 적절히 평가한다고 생각하고 있었고, 평가결과 통보서의 내용이 기관의 질 개선 활동에 유용하다고 생각하고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 피평가기관의 재가장기요양기관평가 제도에 대한 인식과 의견을 제시함으로써 향후 재가장기요양기관평가제도에 대한 개선안을 마련하는데 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

In the se stage, surveys were performed via home visit Subjects in the first stage included 2203 indu injured victims staying at home, of whom. individuals complaining of post-traumatic complic became the subjects of the second stage. Results: This study showed that the home-bound industrial accident patients were complaining of complications from the injury even after receiving treatment by IACI. However, they were neglecting their health problems without any intervention. Even if they use health care services. the treatment is mainly focused on acute medical care, which may not effective for them. Furthermore, they had unstable employment status and suffered from financial burden for health care costs. The Labor Welfare Organization has established a plan to remove barriers of industrial accident victims in reinstatement, and has been preparing various programs in order to establish an all-embracing service system for industrial accident victims from accident occurrence to reinstatement. However, these rehabilitation services can be truly helpful only when the injured are able to obtain enough information about them. The current restrictive system is also not appropriate for solving health problems of the industrial accident victims. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a plan that can provide industrial accident victims high-quality rehabilitation services so that they can use those services in the community without being dependent on hospitals. This study proposes visit nursing services as a way to provide various health services within community for the industrial accident victims.

This study was intended to assess the need of home nursing care and analyze the effect of home nursing care, and find out the problems during the performance of home nursing care for the chronic patients among the low-income people in urban area. Data collection by interview was carried out from Nov. 1991 to Jul. 1992. The main results were as follows; 1) Total subjects for the need assessment of home nursing care were 123 households wi th 488 persons in a urban poor area. Over half of households $(57.7\%)$ was teenage family. The overall living conditions were poor and the average monthly income was 580 thousands won. $74.8\%$ of subjects was covered by medical care insurance and only $4.7\%$ was covered by public assistance. The morbidity rate was $8.2\%$ among 488 subjects and $27.5\%$ of them was not treated at all, $30\%$ was treated in utilizing pharmacies or local clinics. 2) The subjects of home nursing care were 46 with Hypertension or DM who agreeded the participation of study among registered patients at a public health center in Incheon. Home visiting was performed at intervals per one month for one year. Most of them were the elder(mean age=61 years) and long term patients(7.8 years continued). Home nursing care was effective. That is, blood pressure(including systolic and diastolic pressure) was significantly reduced (t(n=22)=2.31, P=.031, t(n=24)=4.16, P=.000 respectively) and knowledge of disease(t(N=46)=-7.63, P=.000), attitude of disease (t(N =46) = -4.92, P=.000), and self-care(t(N =46) = -4.89, P= .000) were significantly improved through home nursing care. But there was no difference in blood sugar for diabetics between the beginning and the end of visits. At the beginning of visit for home nursing care, sex$(\beta=-0414,\;t=-3.012)$ and nursing need({3=.310, t=2.164) were influencing self-care, and duration of disease$(\beta=.297,\;t=2.106)$ and nursing need $(\beta=.385, t=20417)$ were influencing blood pressure, blood sugar level. Namely, the subjects who were male and had higher nursing need showed better self-care and the longer duration of disease and the higher nursing need were relationship with the better blood pressure and blood sugar level. At the end of visit for home nursing care after one year, the blood pressure and blood sugar level was influenced by age $(\beta.320,\;t= 2.242)$, duration of disease ($(\beta.352,\;t= 2.395)$ and nursing need $(\beta=.350,\;t=2.623)$ and self-care had no influencing factor. The higher age and the longer duration of disease and the higher nursing need were relationship with the better blood pressure and blood sugar level. 3) The problems that were found out during the performance of home nursing care were the absent of useful protocols for services and the clear evaluation base, and the difficulty of teaching elders who were the major part of our subjects.
