Purpose: This descriptive research study aimed to identify the effect of the health literacy and self-efficacy on the quality of care service of home visitor care workers. Methods: The participants were 124 home visitor care workers who had worked for more than six months at one of the five home-based welfare centers located in D metropolitan city. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis using the SPSS program. Results: The quality of care service differed significantly by age (F=-1.03, p<.001), career (F=5.09, p=.002), and education status (F=9.57, p<.001). A statistically significant positive relationship was observed between the quality of care service and self-efficacy (r=.63, p<.001). A total of 55.3% of the variance of quality of care service was explained by age and self-efficacy. Conclusion: Based on the results, it is necessary to develop and prepare programs that can increase the self-efficacy of home visitor care workers through a nursing approach to improve the quality of life of elderly.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand care workers' fall-related knowledge and caring behaviors for fall prevention in nursing home. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey study. Data have been collected from 125 care workers in 5 nursing homes. Data were analyzed using frequency, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: 1) The average percentage of correct answers for care workers' fall-related knowledge was 72.2%. There were significant differences in fall-related knowledge by age, experiences of re-education about care for fall injuries, and experiences to transfer fall patients to another hospital. 2) The average level of care workers' caring behaviors for fall prevention was 3.81 points out of 4. There were significant differences by experiences of education about care for fall injuries in nursing home and concern of fall injury prevention. 3) There was a significant correlation between fall-related knowledge and caring behaviors for fall prevention (r=.320, p<.001). Conclusion: The level of fall-related knowledge is positively correlated to the level of caring behaviors for fall prevention. Therefore, nurses should prepare education programs to increase care workers' fall-related knowledge and caring behaviors for fall prevention.

Purpose: This study set out to use a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design to develop a highly motivating CPR program for help care workers who lack CPR education, and to evaluate its effects on their knowledge about program application, attitude, and self-efficacy. Methods: For this purpose, 140 questionnaires were administered to subjects who underwent training at an educational institution for care workers in S city and G province. The program was developed from April, 25 to May, 15 in 2016, and the evaluation period was from May to July, 15. The collected data were analyzed through SPSS version 23, and a paired t-test was conducted. Results: The program spanned 240 minutes, including 80 minutes on theoretical education and 160 minutes on practical education. Knowledge of CPR in the post-test proved to be higher than that in the pre-test, from 6.4 to 9.2 (t=-15.72, p<.001),; the score on attitude increased from 38.4 to 41.7 (t=-5.89, p<.001),; and self-efficacy increased from 41.0 to 66.7 (t=-21.83, p<.001). Conclusion: The basic CPR education program emphasizing motivation was effective for the care worker trainees and could be used for other curriculum by expanding the scope of the subject.

노인인구의 증가에 따라 사회보험제도가 출현하였고 이에 한국과 일본 양국에서는 전문적인 요양보호사와 개호복지사의 양성이 중요한 이슈로 이야기되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국과 일본의 케어워커에 대한 제도인식과 직무만족도를 비교연구 한 것이다. 연구대상으로 한국은 요양시설과 재가시설에서 근무하는 경남지역 요양보호사, 일본은 양로시설과 특별양로홈에서 근무하는 오사카지역의 개호복지사로 2009년 12월 20일에서 2010년 1월 5일까지 각각 150부씩 총 300부 설문조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 보험제도에 관한 인식은 낮은 편이고 반면 직무만족도는 높게 나타난 편이다. 하지만 업무스트레스는 상당히 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 직무만족도와 직무스트레스는 한국과 일본 케어워커가 유의미한 차이를 보였으며, 다만 직무만족도와 직무스트레스에 개인의 특성과 업무특성에 따라 의미 있게 나타지 않았다.

Purpose: This study was designed to define the roles, tasks, and activities of home visiting nurses aimed at enhancing the quality of nursing care under the long-term care insurance regulation for the elderly introduced on July 1, 2008 in Korea. Methods: A review of domestic and foreign literature was used to formulate the proposed roles, tasks, and activities of visiting nurses, which were subsequently modified and complemented by the agreement of home visiting nurse experts and acceptance of 127 nurses. Data was collected from 04 June - 17 September 2008 and analyzed concerning frequency and percentile using SPSS ver. 15.0. Results: The established functions of home visiting nurses were direct nursing service provider, case manager, patient educator, decision maker, care coordinator, and research worker. These functions involved 27 different tasks and 167 activities. Conclusion: The roles, tasks, and activities of visiting nurses, established based upon the guidelines of the Long-term Care Insurance Act for the elderly, were verified for their applicability by nurses involved in home care delivery. These parameters will provide a useful tool in developing an assessment to enhance the quality of home-based care for the elderly in Korea.

재가급여기관에서 노인돌봄서비스를 제공하는 요양보호사의 생태체계요인이 직무만족에 직‧간접적으로 미치는 영향요인들 간의 관계분석을 통해 직무만족의 수준을 파악하여 직무만족을 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 제공하고자 하였다. 우리는 요양보호사의 인구사회학적 특성, 생태체계 요인과 직무만족간의 인과관계를 연구모형으로 설정하여 직무만족에 영향을 미치는 다양한 이론 중에서 우리나라 재가급여기관의 요양보호사의 실정에 적합한 직무만족 6개 결정요인을 종속변인으로 설정하여 생태체계별 각 요인이 요양보호사의 직무만족에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 알아본 결과, 직무만족은 사회문화환경 요인을 제외한 모든 생태체계요인들과 정(+)의 상관이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 직무만족과 상관이 가장 높은 요인은 사회적지지이며, 이어서 가족지지, 직무여건, 노인복지정책신뢰, 자기효능감, 자아존중감의 순서로 나타났다. 따라서 요양보호사를 둘러싼 주변의 사회적 네트워크 및 가족으로부터 긍정적 지지를 받는다고 인식하면서 직무여건에 대해서도 긍정적으로 인식하는 요양보호사들은 대체로 직무만족이 긍정적인 편인 것으로 볼 수 있다.

Methods: A total of 465 participants were recruited for the study. Depressive symptoms was measured by the CES-D10 and distress was assessed using a single question given 5 Likert scale. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms and distress among care-workers were 32.5% and 32.0% respectively. Work environment safety, violence exposure experience, work-family conflict, weekly care work time, and poor health status were significantly associated with depressive symptoms. Only violence exposure experience and poor health status were associated with distress. Conclusion: Our findings suggest more attention on mental health of care-workers and their risky work condition such as violence.

Purpose: The study assessed the effects of a 12-session empowering program to promote health quality of life, decision making self-efficacy, self-care competency, and reasonable medical care utilization among low income women households in one rural area. Methods: A quasi-experimental, one-group pre-posttest design was employed. A total of 28 women enrolled as medicaid recipients in the Public Health Center of W city agreed to participate. The empowering program consisted of 12 sessions addressing health education for self-care of disease, medication management, and counseling for psycho-social support. The intervention was delivered by five nurses and one social worker. Women completed a structured questionnaire measuring the study variables with demographic characteristic before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed by PAWS Statistics 17 utilizing descriptive statistics and paired t-test. Results: After the intervention, significant increases were evident in participant health quality of life (t=-5.83, p<.001), decision making self-efficacy (t=-4.86, p<.001), self-care competency (t=-8.16, p<.001), and reasonable medical care utilization (t=-3.97, p<.001). Conclusion: The 12-session empowering program on health quality of life as well as self-care competency was effective when delivered to low income women households. Further studies with larger numbers of participants and a control group are necessary to validate the results.
