본 연구의 목적은 일본 개호정책 전개과정에서의 '가족개호(가족에 의한 개호제공)'에 대한 금전적 평가에 초점을 맞추어, 특히 개호보험제도의 도입이 '가족개호의 비용화'에 미친 영향을 살펴봄으로써 '가족개호'의 제도화 현상을 포착하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 '개호의 사회화' 이념을 '가족개호의 비용화'라는 분석개념으로 조작적으로 정의하고, 이 '가족개호의 비용화' 상황과 그에 대한 국가의 개입방식을 개호서비스 제공에서의 가족의 역할과 가족개호에 대한 사회적 평가의 수준, 그리고 가족개호자(여성)의 가정 내 환경 및 노동시장에서의 지위 등과의 관련 속에서 분석한다. 이러한 분석을 통하여, 본 연구에서는 일본 개호정책의 전개과정에 나타난 '가족개호의 비용화구조'를 밝힘으로써 개호보험제도 실시와 더불어 현금급여가 극히 잔여적으로 도입될 수밖에 없었던 정책적 맥락을 이해하고자 한다.

This study examined the factors related to family caregiver satisfaction with institutional care services for beneficiaries under the Public Long-Term Care Insurance(PLTCI) system. Determining what contributes to family caregiver satisfaction is a critical step toward implementing effective quality improvement strategies. A national cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted from November to December 2008, using proportionate quota sampling based on the location and level of Long-Term Care of the beneficiaries. Total 1,745 family caregivers wrote informed consents and 733 (response rate 42%) completed questionnaires, which included caregiver characteristics, organizational resources, primary objective and subjective stressors, perceived quality of services, and family caregiver satisfaction. Family caregivers were satisfied overall with institutional care. In multiple regression analysis, there was a statistically significant difference in degree of family caregiver satisfaction according to caregiver characteristics(relationship to beneficiary), primary objective stressors (insurance type of beneficiary), perceived quality of services(respect to family caregivers' idea, ADL support, expertness of staff, careful concern of staff, fulfillment of client's requests, and safety of institution's environment). In public long-term care, satisfaction efforts are in an early stage of development. This study is meaningful as the first attempt to measure family caregiver satisfaction with institutional care for beneficiaries under the PLTCI system, and to identify factors affecting the satisfaction. Among the identified factors, the policy makers, the insurer, and the providers need to pay attention to perceived quality of services, in particular, to improve customer satisfaction. Our findings can provide quality care improvement initiatives in the public long-term care setting.
