목적: Castle과 Engberg의 이론적 기틀을 활용하여 노인요양시설의 간호인력이 입소노인의 케어의 질과 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 한다. 방법: 6개의 데이터베이스에서 "Nurse staffing(간호인력 배치)", "Nursing staff(간호인력)", "Outcome(결과)", "Quality of care(케어의 질)", "Quality of life(삶의 질)", "residents outcomes(입소자 결과)", "nursing home(노인요양시설)", "long-term care(장기요양)"를 키워드로 1996년 1월부터 2021년 3월까지 출판된 문헌을 수집하여 총 31편의 연구가 도출되었다. Castle과 Engberg의 이론적 기틀을 활용하여 체계적인 고찰을 수행하였다. 결과: 간호인력의 제공 시간, 간호사 면허를 가진 인력 확보, 간호인력과 입소노인 간 우호적 관계, 관대한 관리감독 체계가 입소노인의 케어의 질 및 삶의 질에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 이직률과 agency 간호사 고용 여부에 관해서는 일관적인 연구 결과가 보고되지 않았다. 결론: 노인요양시설의 간호인력은 노인요양시설 입소노인의 케어의 질 및 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인이므로, 의무적인 간호사 인력 배치 수준을 제시하는 정책 마련이 필요하다. 또한 현재 대부분의 연구가 케어의 질을 중점으로 보고하여, 삶의 질에 대한 연구가 추가적으로 수행될 필요가 있다.

This study investigates differences by type of caregiving using data on three groups of caregivers, 177 from home stay situations, 189 from day care centers, and 138 from nursing homes. First, the result shows that characteristics of both caregivers and elders differ by type of caregiving. Second, caregivers in the home stay situation have the highest caregiving burden of the three groups. Third, from examination of the related variables, the caregiving burden of home stay caregivers is affected by family income, caregivers' health, type of job, and whether or not the elder has symptoms of dementia. Also, the study reveals that emotional services for elders reduce the aggravation of family relations and economic burden, but that instrumental services highly increase economic burden. It reveals that caregivers of elders in day care centers, especially those who are in bad health, are more likely to experience feelings of constriction, aggravation of family relations and economic burden. On the other hand, caregivers who receive more emotional services have better experiences in family relations, including relations with the elder. In case of the elders of nursing homes, if the main caregiver is a daughter-in-law, aggravation of family relations is higher than if the main caregiver is a spouse. Finally, the caregiver's burden is affected by their own health and income, and by whether the elder has symptoms of dementia or stroke.

The purpose of this study was to conduct an exploratory and descriptive survey study design to examine 1) the physical difficulty by care task, 2) overall occupation-related physical burden by the characteristics of caregivers and care receivers, and 3) the level of help by the use of care robots and devices among formal caregivers working in facilities for older adults. In this study, 308 formal caregivers working in facilities were recruited from 8 nursing homes and 5 geriatric hospitals between Aug. 2021 and Sept. 2022 in South Korea. There were significant differences in ADLs between nursing homes and geriatric hospitals: eating, dressing, hygiene, transfer to bed, transfer to the toilet and walking. For each care item, the items the caregivers had the most difficulty ranked first were bathing, excretion assistance, and mobility support. The difference in occupation-related physical burden according to general characteristics was found to have statistically significant differences in female and bad perceived health. Among the 205 caregivers who had experience using care robots and devices, pressure ulcer prevention was the most experienced one, and those also were the most helpful and exercise aids were the least helpful. In order to reduce the physical burden on care providers, it is necessary to develop and introduce a care robots centered on the care site. Furthermore, national level public support systems are required to enable facilities to actively utilize care robots and devices.

The demands of nursing home for the dementia are rapidly increasing. However, there are no enough nursing homes and design guidelines for it. This study was intended to examine the needs of the staff for the nursing home design and suggest the design guidelines of the Korean nursing home for the dementia. The subjects were 15 nurses and 18 care givers who worked in D hospital for the elderly with dementia in Busan. Data were collected by the self-administered questionnaire. The findings were as follows; First, the most important design element in nursing home for the dementia which the staff mentioned was 'healing environment' and then 'function' and 'maintenance' Second, the care-givers were more satisfied with their facility design than the nurses. Third, the staff pointed out that 'the relation between individual room and nursing station', namely, short distance between them, and 'enough wandering space' had to be considered at first in design process of nursing home with dementia. Also, the comfort and intimate interior mood, fresh air and sunlight were also pointed out as the important elements in nursing home design for the dementia.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the difficulties and coping that advanced practice nurses (APNs) experience in home health nursing field. Methods: The participants were 12 APNs who had experience in home health nursing for over 5 years. Data were collected through two focus group interviews between August and September, 2017. The results were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. Results: Out of 10 sub-categories and 29 codes, 4 categories emerged: "crushed by the responsibilities as the only healthcare professional", "worn out by family who interfere with work", "anxiety about my safety being threatened" and "using self-learned know-hows". Conclusion: APNs face difficulties due to the environmental characteristics of the homes, the characteristics of chronically critically ill (CCI) patients and their families, and legal or systematical limitations when dealing with problems based on their personal competence. In order to ensure that professional nursing care is more readily provided to CCI patients through home health nursing services in local communities, it is imperative that support systems at the organizational and institutional levels be established in a systematic way to resolve the issues faced by APNs.

The nursing-care insurance system started in April, 2000 in Japan. It was a kind of business opportunities for a lot of private entrepreneurs. They came into this care service business from another type of business rapidly. They opened the pay nursing homes with 24 hour nursing. However, the expense load of the nursing-care insurance system was large, local governments started controlling on total numbers of facilities with 24 hours nursing in 2006. So the group houses besides the pay nursing home without nursing care are paid to attention. The pay nursing home has been often managed by the nursing business. Most of the group houses are managed by community based NPO. This study is a case study by the visit and the interview form for one of the group houses. The group house "Shalom Tsukimino" in Kanagawa started operations comparatively at early time among them. Through the study we recognized that a lot of people were helping the NPO as a community service. So they can manage the group house and people who live there get the services with low cost. They show that they separate residence and nursing and use the community service efficiently. We can find a new direction in this case for the life in elderly.

Purpose: This study identified the current status and perception of intensive care unit nurses' handover. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive survey was employed. The population included nurse managers and staff nurses who worked in intensive care units in hospitals with more than 500 beds and excluded nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals, and military hospitals. Results: Of the nurses, 61.7% were satisfied with the current handover method, 68.36% had no handover-related guidelines, and 83.2% of them perceived that the handover was important for patients' safety. The most frequent cause for errors related to handover was that the "nursing workload is heavy." The nurses perceived that their handover was informative ($5.62{\pm}0.79$) and efficient ($5.04{\pm}0.98$). The variables associated with their perception of the handover were the level of satisfaction with the current handover method, existence of handover guidelines, and importance of handover for patient safety. Conclusion: The development of standardized handover guidelines, especially for intensive care units, is necessary to reduce handover time and errors and to improve handover quality for patients'safety and high standards of nursing care.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' experience of the role adaptation process and barriers in long-term care (LTC) facilities including nursing homes, daycare centers, and home visit nursing centers. Methods: After in-depth interviews with 13 nurses who were working at the LTC facilities in G province, the data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological methodology. Results: 17 themes with 6 theme clusters, and 2 categories emerged: nursing role adaptation process in the LTC (role expectation and readiness, role perception and performance, limits of role performance), and barriers to nursing role adaptation in the LTC facility (organizational, situational, and institutional-environmental barriers). Conclusion: The results showed that it is critical to establish the nurses' role in caring for the health of the elderly and maintaining the quality of care in the LTC facilities. In response to the growing demand for quality care in the LTC facilities, more institutional and environmental changes are needed to address the current barriers that prevent nurses from performing their appropriate roles.
