노인장기요양보험제도 도입으로 노인요양시설과 요양시설 이용자가 급증하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 노인 요양시설내 학대 발생 현황과 그로 인해 이용노인의 삶에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 관심과 연구는 부족한 실정이었다. 이에 본 연구는 2개 지역에 소재한 44개 요양시설 이용노인 278명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 학대경험과 서비스 품질 인식, 서비스 만족도, 삶의 만족도간의 관계를 분석하기 위해 SPSS 20프로그램과 AMOS 18프로그램을 이용해 분석하였다. 분석결과 요양시설 이용 노인의 학대 피해 경험을 확인할 수 있었는데 특히 성학대 피해 경험이 가장 많이 보고되었다. 학대 피해 경험은 이용노인의 서비스품질에 대한 인식, 서비스 만족도, 삶의 만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 학대를 경험한 노인은 기관의 서비스 품질과 서비스 만족도에 대해 낮게 평가하였고, 삶의 만족도 또한 낮게 나타났다. 학대 경험은 이용 노인의 삶의 만족도에 직접적 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 서비스 만족도를 매개로 간접적으로도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 노인 요양시설내 노인 학대 예방을 위한 방안을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 졸업 학년 간호대학생의 노인장기요양 분야 취업의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하기 위하여 시도하였다. 연구분석은 SPSS program을 이용하여 t-test, ANOVA, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 졸업 학년 간호대학생의 노인장기요양기관 취업의도는 평균 2.8점이었고, 간호대학생의 노인장기요양 분야 취업의도는 노인과 살았던 경험유무, 노인문제에 대한 관심의 정도, 가족 중에 노인장기요양보험 혜택을 받은 경우, 장기요양보험제도의 관심의 정도에 따라 차이가 있었다. 노인장기요양기관 취업의도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 평소 노인문제에 대한 관심과 가족 중 노인장기요양보험 수혜 여부로 분석되었다. 따라서 향후 간호대학생의 노인장기요양 분야 취업을 유도하기 위해서는 노인과의 상호작용 및 접촉을 통해 노인문제에 대한 관심을 증대시키는 한편 노인장기요양제도에 대한 관심을 높일 수 있는 다양한 교과 및 비교과 융합 프로그램의 운영이 요구된다.

Method: The sample consisted of 252 community dwelling elderly who enrolled in public health center visiting nurse services for three months or more. Data was collected on physical (ADL and IADL) and cognitive impairments of the elderly, contents and frequency of visiting nurse services, cost per visit, and costs of alternative services for long-term care. Result: The mean score of ADL and IADL levels of the elderly was 2.80.4904, which indicated these patients were mostly independent. Eighty four percent of the elderly subjects were cognitively intact. Among visiting nurse services supplied, providing assessment was 34%, followed by education and counseling 26%, medication 22%, and referral. The mean cost per visit was 17,824.1 won, which transformed into a total cost per person per year of 161,130.2 won. Comparing the cost of a visiting nurse service with those of other long-term care alternatives, the visiting nurse service was the least costly alternative, followed by an outpatient clinic, hospital based home care, and nursing home. Conclusion: Overall, the results of the study provide evidence of the economic viability of visiting nurse services for the low-income elderly among long-term care alternatives.

Background: By applying the suggested criteria for needs-based chronic medical care and long-term care delivery system for the elderly, the current status of delivery system was identified and regional delivery systems were categorized according to quantity and quality of delivery system. Methods: National claims data were used for this study. All claims data of medical and long-term care uses by the elderly and all claims data from long-term care hospitals and nursing homes in 2016 were analyzed to categorize the regional medical and long-term care delivery system. The current status of the delivery system with a high possibility of transition to a needs-based appropriate delivery system was identified. The necessary and actual amount of regional supply was calculated based on their needs, and the structure of delivery systems was evaluated in terms of the needs-based quality of the system. Finally, all regions were categorized into 15 types of medical and care delivery systems for the elderly. Results: Of the total 55 regions, 89.1% of regions had an oversupply of elderly medical and care services compared to the necessary supply based on their needs. However, 69.1% of regions met the criteria for less than two types of needs groups, and 21.8% of regions were identified as regions where the numbers of institutions or regions with a high possibility of transition to an appropriate delivery system were below the average levels for all four needs groups. Conclusion: In order to establish an appropriate community-based integrated elderly care system, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the regional delivery system categories and to plan a needs-based delivery system regionally.

본 연구의 목적은 장기요양시설내 노인학대 문제에 대한 WHO 및 주요국의 정책을 검토하고, 이를 바탕으로 한국의 장기요양시설 노인학대 예방정책의 방향을 도출하고자 하는 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 WHO의 노인학대 위험요인으로 지적된 요인 중에서 장기요양시설에서 문제가 되고 있는 세가지 이슈(노인의 특성(시설내 치매노인 분리수준), 종사자 특성(신체억제대 사용수준, 야간 돌봄인력 처우수준), 시설 특성(시설내 CCTV설치수준))을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 첫째, 많은 국가들에서 시설의 개방성에 대해서 강조하고 있었다. 관련 정책으로 옴부즈맨제도, 성인후견인제도 등을 통한 시설방문, 외부 감시체계를 운영하고 있었다. 둘째, 시설의 입소노인의 특성에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 특히, 장기요양시설 특성상 치매노인, 야간시간대 입소노인의 특성이 고려된 학대예방책이 요구되었다. 셋째, 장기요양시설의 시설종사자의 처우조건, 종사자의 시설환경 수준 등이 각 국가별로 차이가 있었다. 시설내 학대예방을 위해 시설환경의 향상과 종사자의 처우개선이 중요하였다. 넷째, 향후 입소자 중심 예방정책으로의 패러다임 변화가 요구된다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 본 연구는 한국의 장기요양시설내 노인학대 문제를 예방하고 해결하기 위한 정책적 제언을 제시하였다.
