  • 평균수명의 증가 및 출산율의 저하와 함께 수반되는 급격한 인구고령화는 단기간에 우리나라의 경제 사회 문화 전 분야에 걸쳐 중대한 변화를 야기하고 있다. 단순히 노인의 비율이 늘어나는 것뿐만 아니라 평균수명이 계속해서 증가하여 많은 국민들이 장기간의 노후생활을 영위해야 하는 상황이다. 이와 같은 배경에서 노인들이 인간으로서의 존엄과 가치를 유지하면서 품위 있게 인생을 마무리할 수 있도록 노인복지 관련법제의 역할과 기능이 특별히 강조될 수밖에 없으며, 사회보험 및 공공부조와 기능적 연계성을 토대로 사회복지서비스를 목적으로 하는 노인복지법의 역할도 점차 중요해지고 있다. 노인복지법은 노인을 위한 사회복지서비스의 내용을 제시하고 있는데, 그중에서도 소득보장, 보건의료서비스, 요양 및 주거복지를 중심으로 하는 복지조치 그리고 일자리 등 사회참여지원 등을 핵심요소로 하며, 그와 같은 복지서비스의 유기적 결합을 통하여 노인이 살아가는데 적합한 생활조건을 실현할 수 있게 된다. 이를 위하여 노인복지법은 기초노령연금법과 노인장기요양보험법 등 관련법제와 밀접한 규범적 네트워크를 형성하면서 효율적인 노인복지시스템을 구축하게 된다. 그러나 우리 현행 노인복지법 및 관련법제는 21세기의 고령사회, 장수사회를 대비하는데 여전히 미흡하다고 하지 않을 수 없다. 노후소득보장과 다양하고 수준 높은 노인의 사회참여의 결합, 보건 의료와 요양의 효율적 연계 및 국가 또는 지방자치단체의 비용부담수준, 복지조치의 효과성 제고를 통한 품위 있고 존중받는 노인복지의 실현을 위해 더 많은 노인들을 포괄할 수 있는 다양하고 구체적인 개선방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

  • Due to the shortage of elderly care services in urban areas, multi-functional welfare facilities are proven to be very effective for delivering various service needs of elderly in Japan. Introduction of new longterm care policy for elderly in Korea would change many aspects of elderly care service facilities. Especially elderly home care services like adult daycare centers will expand drastically after beginning of elderly longterm care insurance. The purpose of this research is to study and analyze multi-functional welfare facilities in Japan focusing on the types of day service in those facilities. Planning of daycare centers in multi-functional welfare facilities for the elderly can be classified to 8 types. Those types are daycare centers with senior housing, longterm care insurance facilities, senior centers, small multi-function facility, medical facilities, educational facilities, community facilities and general housing projects. Each type has different benefits for the networking of services for the elderly. Design of daycare centers in multi-functional welfare facilities have distinctive features in entrance and user approach, space allocation and circulation planning. The study of daycare centers and multi-function planning should be followed to make better home care environments for the elderly in Korea.

  • This paper conducted a feasibility study by applying an Internet of Things and Artificial intelligence-based management system for the elderly living alone in an aging society. The number of single-person families over the age of 50 is expected to increase, and problems such as health, safety, and loneliness may occur due to aging. Therefore, by establishing an IoT-based care system for the elderly living alone, a stable service was developed through securing a rapid response system for the elderly living alone and automatically reporting 119. The participants of the demonstration test were subjects under the jurisdiction of the "Seongnam Senior Complex," and the data collection rate between the IoT sensor and the emergency safety gateway was high. During the demonstration period, as a result of evaluating the satisfaction of the IoT-based care system for the elderly living alone, 90 points were achieved. We are currently in the COVID-19 situation. Therefore, the number of elderly living alone is continuously increasing, and the number of people who cannot benefit from care services will continue to occur. Also, even if the COVID-19 situation is over, the epidemic will happen again. So the care system is essential. The elderly care system developed in this way will provide safety management services based on artificial intelligence-based activity pattern analysis, improving the quality of in-house safety services.

The results of the study are as in the following. 1) The demand for new service programs corresponding to the improved quality of the elderly and various social desires is relatively on the increase. Each program in senior welfare center for the elderly should be connected in an organic manner and the organization of space should be provided. 2) The section of counseling, the first step when using a welfare center, should be located in the entrance of the building and it has to be closely connected with other section. 3) The section of medical rehabilitation is a place mostly for the elderly in their frail physical condition; therefore, it is effective to use horizontal line. 4) It is important for the room for volunteers in the section for domiciliary welfare to be arranged flexibly with the office or the room for social education, and it is necessary to consider how easy daytime or short-term care is accessible. 5) The space where dynamic programs are progressed in the section of social education should be distinguished from the section of medical rehabilitation or the room for daytime care and the room for short-term care of the section of domiciliary welfare.

  • This study was designed to develop the strategy plans for the customer satisfaction on foodservice in the senior care facilities. For this, we examined the level of the customer satisfaction and foodservice quality. Additionally, the association between service quality, customer satisfaction, and social, psychological, physical factors of the aged were tested. Data from convenience samples from 3 senior care facilities were collected by using a questionnaire. Exploratory factor analyses were completed on 20 attributes for the food and service quality and 7 items for the social and psychological states of the aged, respectively. Cronbach's a was estimated for reliability, and Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were used for statistical analyses. The level of the satisfaction on foodservice was 4.01 of 5.0. The satisfaction on foodservice did not show the significant differences by gender, education level, BMI, and socio-psychological satisfaction.

  • This study investigates the effects of serving medicinal food items on the dietary intake of elderly inpatients. A total of 77 elderly inpatients at a long-term senior care hospital in Yeongju participated in this study. Control and medicinal food items were provided for 20 days (March 24 through April 12, 2014, and April 14 through May 3, 2014, respectively). A satisfaction survey was conducted for both control and medicinal food items on the last day of the respective serving period. Data were analyzed by using SPSS (Windows ver. 21.0). The satisfaction level was higher for medicinal food items than for control food items. The leftover rate was higher for control food items than for medicinal food items. The intake of energy, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamin A, thiamin, niacin, potassium, and zinc was higher for medicinal food items than for control food items. These results indicate that the dietary intake of elderly inpatients was higher for medicinal food items than for control food items. This suggests that medicinal food items can help increase the nutrient intake of elderly inpatients and implies that such food items may be more desirable for a long-term senior care hospital diet. A prospective analysis of the long-term control is needed to establish the effects of medicinal food items on elderly patients.

  • 본 연구는 라이프케어를 위한 노인심리상담교육 참여 수강생의 학습과정과 노인의 사회적 지지와 사회참여의 의미를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 본 연구자와 함께 A 대학교 평생학습교육원에서 노인심리상담교육 15주 학습과정 속 내러티브 인터뷰를 통해 진행하였다. 연구결과 노인수강생들은 자아존중감을 높일 수 있는 노인심리상담교육을 통해 지적 수준을 높이고 교육을 통한 기억력을 향상할 수 있었다. 또한 노인심리상담사라는 자격증을 통해 스스로 교양을 쌓고 노인에 대한 이해와 사회적 상호작용의 공간속에 세대 간의 교류를 경험하면서 이해와 공감 능력을 키웠으며 학습을 통한 즐거움으로 노인들의 행위를 변화시키고 삶의 질이 높아진 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 학습과정이 노인들의 사회적 지지와 사회 참여를 지속하게 하고 수강생들 간의 다양한 문화를 교류하면서 상호 작용과 실천적 학습을 이룰 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 향후 다양하고 체계적인 교육프로그램들이 노인들의 라이프케어를 증진시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
