The purpose of this study was to identify the social networks used by the rural elderly and to analyze the effects of these social networks on the need for life services. The research subjects were 1,000 people aged 65 years and over living in the rural areas of Korea. Among the total 1,000 respondents, 979 elderly who have children were included in this study. The data were analyzed using frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study were as follows. First, the frequency of contact with friends/neighbors was higher than that of children, whereas the social support of children was higher than that of friends/neighbors(excluding physical support). Second, the rate of use of home services and the elderly welfare center was very low. Promotion, a minimum cost burden, convenient transportation (circulation bus operation, etc.), and the provision of visiting services are examples of ways to be using them much more. Third, the elderly who do not live with their children have a higher need for life services. As well unlike the elderly who live with their children, in the case of the elderly who do not live with their children, the necessity for life services was influenced not only by their children but also by the relationship with their friends/neighbors and by home services. This implies that comprehensive social networks are important for the elderly who do not live with their children. Therefore, it is necessary to activate the social support of the community as well as of children and friends/neighbors.

본 연구는 김포시 거주 노인들을 대상으로 노인복지관 이용 결정요인을 파악하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 그 이유는 노인복지관이 종합서비스 제공기관으로 국가정책 차원에 명시되어 있음에도 불구하고 실천 현장에서 과연 노인들에게 고유의 역할과 기능을 하고 있느냐 하는 관점에서 출발하고 있다. 특히 농어촌 거주 노인들의 경우 평소 여가활용 기회가 부족한 상황에서 지난 10년간 전국의 노인복지관 관련 수가 획기적으로 증가하였음에도 노인복지관 역할과 위상이 동일하게 여겨지고 있는가하는 점은 의구심을 불러일으키고 있다. 이에 도농형 도시 김포시에 거주하는 만 65세 이상 노인 360명을 대상으로 실태조사를 하였다. 연구방법으로 앤더슨 모형의 선행요인과 가능요인, 욕구요인간의 영향과 관계를 검증하고자 로짓분석 및 의사결정나무분석을 시행하였다. 연구결과 로짓분석에서는 앤더슨 모형에서 제시한 대부분의 요인들이 통계적으로 유의미하였다. 선행요인에서는 성별, 연령, 교육수준이, 가능요인에서는 월평균소득이, 욕구요인에서는 노후를 위한 경제자금준비와 경제활동준비가 유의미하였다. 다음으로 요인간 상호작용을 감안한 의사결정나무분석 시행 결과, 선행요인 중 교육수준이 높은 경우 노인복지관을 이용할 가능성이 가장 높았으며, 다음으로 욕구요인 중 건강증진 준비수준이 낮은 경우 노인복지관을 이용할 가능성이 높게 예측되었다. 이상과 같은 연구결과에 근거하여 노인복지관의 종합적 서비스 제공의 필요성을 제안하였다.

만성질환보유 저소득 노인의 삶의 질 향상과 의료비절감을 위해서는 지역사회 보건복지서비스와 병의원서비스간의 연계가 중요하다. 본 논문은 서울시 복지패널데이터를 이용하여 병의원 의료서비스와 지역사회 보건복지서비스간의 연계 욕구 및 실태를 분석하기 위하여 병의원서비스 이용경험이 지역사회 보건복지서비스 이용(욕구)에 미치는 영향을 로짓분석하였다. 분석결과 입원경험이 있는 노인들은 입원경험이 없는 노인에 비해 지역사회 보건복지서비스에의 욕구가 더 높음에도 불구하고 실제로 해당 서비스를 더 많이 받지 못하고 있었다. 또한 외래이용경험이 없는 저소득 만성질환노인은 외래경험이 있는 노인에 비해 지역사회 보건서비스에의 욕구는 더 높았으나 실제 이용률은 더 높지 않았다. 결론적으로 볼 때 우리나라 병의원 의료서비스와 지역사회 서비스간의 연계가 긴밀하게 이루어지지 않고 있음을 알 수 있다.

The elderly have higher potential for contracting chronic diseases and suffering from development of a complication. Also, the extended old age period leads the elderly to demand more medical services. All those facts indicate that the elderly need more medical services than any other age groups. Consequently, medical care for the elderly with chronic diseases causes high costs burden. However, there is few studies researching the financial burden of chronic illness of the elderly. This study aimed to 1) understand how much the elderly with chronic diseases pay for medical expenses; 2) find out some specific factors related to health care financial burden; 3) suggest the alternative policies to decrease excessive financial burden of caring for the elderly with chronic illness. National Health and Nutrition Survey, which was surveyed by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs in 1998, was used in this study. 4,707 persons with chronic diseases out of 5385 persons over age 60 were selectively sampled. Using SPSSWIN, correlation analysis, T-test, ANOVA and Regression were used as statistical methods in this study. Stepwise multiple regression was employed to analyze the data with a ratio of health care expenditure to income(financial burden) as a dependent variable. Out of Korean old people, 87% had the chronic diseases and their health care financial burden rate showed the average of 17.9%, which meaned they expended almost 20% income to buy medical services. The variables having a great influence on financial burden were monthly income, activity, limitation and single household of an old person. The excessive financial burden was experienced by people who had more than 4 activity limitations(37.1%) and were in the lowest Income level(32.6%), and single household of an old person(31.4%). The new policies should be considered to 1) reduce the financial burden in these groups and to develop the sliced medical cost system considering the characteristics of chronic illness and income level; and 2) develop the medical management system to care for the elderly with chronic illness.
