본 연구는 한국 노인장기요양 서비스 이용 상태의 결정요인과 상태 의존성을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한국복지패널 자료를 이용하여 시간이 지남에 따른 서비스 이용 상태간 전환 패턴을 랜덤효과 다항로짓 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 노인장기요양 서비스 이용 상태에 있어 강한 상태 의존성을 확인하였다. 특히 초기 상태에서 노인장기요양보험 이용자는 상태가 지속되는 경향이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 개인의 인구통계학적 특성 중 연령이 높을 수록 노인장기요양보험 이용 상태일 확률이 높아지는 반면 혼인상태에 있는 경우 유의하게 낮았다. 거주지역 경우 도농 복합군 거주자는 준거지역에 비해 노인장기요양보험 이용 상태일 확률이 유의하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과 노인장기요양 서비스 이용자가 강한 상태 의존성을 가진다는 사실은 향후 수요예측에 있어 기존 이용자의 이용 기간 증가도 충분히 고려하는 것이 중요함을 시사한다.

Purpose: This study investigated the correlation between person-centered care (PCC) and nursing service quality of nurses in long-term care hospitals. Methods: The subjects were 114 nurses working in 8 long-term care hospitals. Instruments for evaluating PCC and nursing service quality were used. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, two samples-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and Multiple regression. Results: The mean of PCC was $3.25{\pm}0.45$ out of 5 and the nursing service quality was $3.87{\pm}0.40$. There were significant differences in PCC in terms of age and income satisfaction, the application of their opinions, the satisfaction of hospital managers, administrators and nurse managers. There were significant differences in nursing service quality according to age, position, the satisfaction of hospital managers, administrators and nurse managers. Nurses' PCC showed a significant positive correlation with nursing service quality. Factors influencing nursing service quality included PCC, their position and age and the most influencing one was PCC. Conclusion: This study suggests that the PCC is the strongest affecting element to the quality of nursing service in long-term care hospitals. Therefore, the strategies to improve the practice of person-centered care should be carried out to enhance the quality of nursing service.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the functional status variables related to the care time of health professionals for patients in long-term care facilities. Methods : The functional stati of 1001 patients in 8 long-term care hospitals were examined by the Resident Assessment Instrument for Long-term Care Facility Version 2.0. The care time of health professionals for patients was calculated using data from a self-reported task survey by nurses, auxiliary nurses, private aides, doctors, physiotherapists and social workers. Results : The average care time per diem was 240.6 minutes. The care time by doctors, nurses and private aides were 11.0, 71.0 and 139.5 minutes, respectively. The lower the function of activities of daily living (ADL) and the greater the symptoms of extensive services, special care and clinical complexity, the more care time was served. On the contrary, the greater the symptoms of nursing rehabilitation, depression, cognitive disorder, behavior problem and psychiatry/mood disorder, the less care time was served. Age and gender were not significantly related to the care time. Conclusions : Developing a case mix classification system for elderly long term care patients may be helpful for both of patients and health care providers. The ADL, extensive services, special care and clinical complexity of variables should be considered in the development of a case mix system for the long term care of patients in Korea.

Background: In this study, wage status and wage determinants of care workers were analyzed. Methods: The analysis used database (DB) of long-term care institutions, DB of long-term care institutions, DB of long-term care workers, DB of health insurance qualification, and contribution possessed by National Health Insurance Services. We analyzed the wage status of the care workers from 2009 to 2016 through basic analysis and estimated the factors affecting the wage of the long-term care facilities' care workers using pooled ordinary least squares. Results: The monthly average wage of care workers was raised from Korean won (KRW) 1.37 million in 2009 to KRW 1.52 million in 2016, and the working hours were shortened by 20 hours from 207 hours to 187 hours. Hourly wages increased by KRW 1,329 from KRW 6,831 in 2009 to KRW 8,160 in 2016. The average monthly wage of care workers was affected by gender, age, years of employment, monthly working hours, establishment type, city size, institutional size, the grade of the institution, and management status. In particular, the wage level of the care workers was high when the larger the size of the institution, the better the management status (fill rate), the establishment type is "government and local government" and "corporation," the institutional rating is high, and the facility manager has the first grade of the social worker license. Conclusion: The government should consider aggressive policies to improve the treatment of care workers as well as the quality of long-term care services so that there will be more long-term care facilities that are guaranteed social publicity above a certain level.

Purpose: To demonstrate the importance of comprehensive skin observation as an effective intervention for pressure injury prevention in elderly long-term care hospital patients. Methods: The survey was conducted with 70 nursing staff members working at two long-term care hospitals with 200 beds or less in D city. Data were collected from October 16 to October 23, 2019 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, and the independent t-test with the SPSS 25.0 program. Results: Nursing care knowledge for pressure injury was similar between the two groups. Conversely, nursing care performance for pressure injury degree of the nursing staff in the hospital using skin observation records performed better than those who did not (t=6.11, p<.001). Furthermore, comprehensive skin assessments in long-term care hospitals using skin observation records showed a lower incidence rate of pressure injury than that showed using general skin assessments (t=-5.28, p=.006). Conclusions: Comprehensive skin assessment is important for pressure injury prevention in elderly long-term care hospital patients. To implement this effectively, it is necessary to devise institutional regulations, guidelines, and systematic education programs.

현재 우리나라 요양병원은 노인인구 증가와 함께 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 요양병원에 입원하는 환자는 주로 만성질환을 가진 노인들로서 장기요양을 목적으로 하기 때문에 요양병원에서 임종하는 경우가 많아 요양병원에서의 임종간호 중요성이 점점 커지고 있다. 이러한 특징에도 불구하고 요양병원 간호사를 대상으로 임종간호에 대한 연구로는 주로 양적연구들로서 임종간호 경험에 대해 심층적으로 파악하기에 제한이 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 현상학적 방법을 통해 요양병원 간호사의 임종환자 간호경험의 의미가 무엇인지 이해하고 그 현상의 의미를 심층적으로 기술하고 이해하고자 함이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 C 시에 위치한 요양병원에서 6개월 이상 근무하고 있는 간호사 7명을 선정하였다. 연구방법은 심층 인터뷰로 2021년 12월부터 2022년 3월까지 자료를 수집하였다. 인터뷰 자료는 Giorgi의 현상학적 방법으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 '임종간호에 대한 간호사의 태도', '연명에 대한 양가 감정', '요양병원의 임종간호에 대한 현실', '삶과 죽음에 대한 성찰'으로 나타났다. 따라서 요양병원 간호사의 임종간호 태도를 변화시키고 대처능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 임종간호 보수교육 및 중재 교육프로그램이 개발되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
