Methods: Data were collected from 203 family caregivers of elders from August 1 to 31, 2015 using questionnaires. They were analyzed in descriptive statistics, t test, ANOVA test, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean score of depression was 7.24, which suggested mild depression level. The subjective family burden was 2.71 and the objective burden 3.04. The factors affecting depression included subjective burden (t=5.08, p<.001), objective burden (t=2.80, p=.006), time of elderly care per day (t=-3.61, p< .001), caregiving duration (t=3.33, p=.001), age (t=3.13, p=.002), family relationship (t=2.48, p=.014), and economic status (t=1.99, p=.047). Conclusion: The family burden was most important influencing factor on caregiver's depression.

Methods: Using self-report questionnaires, data were collected from 153 long-term care workers between October 4th and October 20th, 2019. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. Results: The data indicate a difference in awareness of human rights according to: the careers of care workers, the possession of other health care-related licenses, and the perceived needs of human rights education. The data also indicate a difference in the compliance of caring behaviors according to: gender, family care experience, and dementia care experience. The factors influencing compliance of caring behaviors, according to the study, are gender (β=.19, p=.009), family care experience (β=.19, p=.023), and human rights (β=.38, p<.001). It was found that 23% could explain the compliance of caring behaviors. Conclusion: Long term care workers were found to have a higher level of the compliance of caring behaviors as their awareness of human rights increased. In order to increase the compliance of caring behaviors among long-term care workers, more educational programs on human rights should be provided.

일본은 1990년 이후 사회복지제도를 개혁하는 과정에서 이용자본위의 서비스지원, 자기결정에 따른 서비스이용, 자립생활을 지원하는 서비스 등을 새로운 개혁이념으로 제시하면서, 이를 실천하는 제도적 장치의 하나로써 서비스에 대안 이용지원제도를 제시하였으며, 개호보험제도의 개호지원전문원이 당해 역할을 담당하게 되었다. 따라서 개호지원전문원의 도입은 사회복지서비스의 이용과정의 따른 패러다임의 변화를 가져왔다. 즉, 조치제도에 따른 서비스이용의 타율성과 서비스의 이용과정의 복잡성을 고려할 때, 개호지원전문원이라는 단일창구를 통한 서비스의 종합적 상담 지원 그리고 시장기능에 따라서 움직이는 개호지원전문원의 역할을 고려할 때, 요원조고령자의 서비스 선택폭은 크게 확대 강화되었다. 한편, 개호지원전문원제도는 구조적 취약점도 지니고 있다. 즉, 개호지원사업자(소)를 중심으로 한 개호지원기능 개호지원사업자와 서비스사업자간의 병행 운영, 개호지원전문원의 업무내용과 범위의 모호, 개호지원전문원의 겸무허용에 따른 업무과다, 처리역량을 벗어난 사례담당에 따른 어려움, 사회적 지원제도의 부족, 역할과 신분을 초과하는 의무와 처벌 등이 이에 해당된다. 한편, 일본의 개호보험제도와 비슷한 노인수발보장제도와 평가관리원의 도입을 추진하고 있는 한국의 입장에서 보면 이와 같은 개호지원전문원제도의 구조와 특징은 많은 시사점을 줄 수 있을 것으로 본다.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to assess the oral health knowledge of nursing staff in long-term care institutions and to identify predictors of oral health knowledge. Method: For this descriptive correlation study, a self-administered and structured questionnaire was used. Respondents were 111 nursing staff in two long-term care facilities and two long-term care hospitals located in G metropolitan area and C province in the Southern part of Korea. Descriptive statistics, t-test or ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: Participants in this study did not have many opportunities to learn about oral health care for elders in long-term care institutions. The percentage of correct answer for oral health knowledge questionnaire was 64.5%. Predictors of oral health knowledge among nursing staffs were education on oral health in long-term care institutions, type of institution, and length of time working with elders. These three variables accounted for 24.2% of variance in oral health knowledge. Conclusions: Nursing staffs should make an effort to improve their knowledge of oral health.

본 연구는 요양병원과 종합병원 간호사의 프리젠티즘을 비교 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 2019년 10월1일부터 12월 30일까지 D시, G도 소재 요양병원 3곳과 종합병원 2곳에서 현 근무경력 6개월 이상인 요양병원 간호사 74명, 종합병원 간호사 75명을 대상으로 총 149명을 대상으로 진행되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21.0을 이용하여 실수, 백분율, 평균과 표준편차를 시행하였다. 요양병원 간호사는 종합병원 간호사보다 건강문제, 직무손실과 지각된 노동력을 더 높게 지각하고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있었다. 이는 요양병원과 종합병원 간호사의 환자분류에 따른 업무강도의 차이가 없음을 보여주는 것으로 요양병원 간호서비스 질 향상을 위해서는 요양병원 간호사의 프리젠티즘에 관한 조직적인 측면의 관리가 필요함을 나타내는 것이다.

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.
