이 연구에서는 부산과 대구 지역의 노인시설에 근무하는 사회복지사, 간호사, 생활지도원 502명을 대상으로, 노인보호 관련 종사자들의 업무특성을 반영하여 고안된 측정도구들을 활용하여 이들의 일반적인 특성과 업무 스트레스, 업무 만족, 치매 및 인간중심 보호와 관련된 인식과 태도를 조사하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 노인시설 종사자들의 급여수준이 낮고 근무시간이 길며 업무 부담이 과중한 상태인 것으로 나타났다. 치매 및 인간중심 보호와 관련된 종사자들의 인식수준은 높은 편이었으나, 업무 만족 수준이 낮았고 노인에 대한 보호 제공 및 업무환경과 관련된 스트레스가 높게 나타났다. 노인장기요양보험제도 시행을 앞두고 노인에게 사회적 보호를 제공할 전문 인력의 원활한 수급과 전문성 향상, 보호의 질 제고를 위하여 노인시설 종사인력에 대한 처우 개선과 인력 확충, 중장년기 인력 활용, 노인시설 종사인력에 대한 전문적 훈련과 교육 강화, 노인시설에서의 인간중심 보호 방식의 도입과 실천이 필요함을 제시하였다.

Purpose: The purposes of this study was to analyze the effects of a health education program using problem-based learning on health related knowledge, behavior, and quality of life in elderly people. Methods: The participants included 44 elders, of whom 23 took the health education program and 21 did not. All participants were over 60 yr of age and were selected from residents of nursing homes or participants in activities of social welfare facilities in Jeju Province. Elders in both groups completed pre- and post-tests. Elders in the education group participated in 5 weekly sessions, 100-120 min/session of problem-based learning on health education. Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 12.0. Results: Scores for health knowledge, health behavior, and quality of life for the education group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Conclusion: A problem-based learning health education program can be recommended as a method to promote the health of the elders. Indirectly, the results seem to indicate that proper assessment and support should be provided simultaneously in the management of elders' health. Finally, future study is needed to examine whether problem-based learning is more helpful compared to traditional education.

As for health conditions, there are more elders who are physically weaker than healthy elders. And the survey shows that most of the elders are suffering from illness such as hypertension, arthritis, neuralgia, and indigestion so such programs related to health are critically required. First, the survey on using village community centers by elders in rural areas shows that they think the village community centers are important for them and use them often. Most of respondents said that they use the village community center so as to meet friends, to enjoy leisure, and to spend time in rural areas where they have difficulty enjoying cultural facilities. Meanwhile, some people dislike to use the village community centers mainly because there is few programs for leisure or each one has a different personality or they don't have enough money to pay for the membership fee.

이 연구는 지역사회 노인 여가시설의 이용에 따른 삶의 질 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 실증적으로 분석하기 위한 것이다. 이을 위해 광주광역시 노인건강타운을 이용하는 노인들을 대상으로 건강타운의 시설환경, 직원과 강사의 역량, 프로그램 만족도 등의 요인이 이용노인들의 삶의 질 변화에 영향을 미치는지를 규명하여, 이용노인들의 삶의질 변화에 기여할수 있는 다각적이고 실천적 대안을 제공하고자 하였다. 조사방법은 광주광역시 노인건강타운을 이용하는 만60세 이상의 1,038명을 대상으로 설문지에 의한 자기기입방식과 조사원의 면접조사를 병행하여 실시하였다. 조사기간은2010년 12월 10일부터 12월15일까지였다. 분석결과, 노인들의 삶의 질 변화에 영향을 미치는 변인으로 학력(B=-.074, p<0.05), 강사만족도(B=.172, p<0.001), 직원만족도(B=.104, p<0.01), 시설 및 환경만족도(B=.217, p<0.001)였다. 즉, 학력이 낮은 노인일수록, 강사만족도가 높을수록, 직원만족도가 높을수록, 시설 및 환경만족도가 높을수록 삶의 질 변화에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 시설 및 환경만족도의 영향력이 상대적으로 높게 나타나 노인들의 삶의 질 변화를 위해서는 지역사회 노인이용 문화여가시설의 현대화와 쾌적한 환경조성이 병행되어야 함을 시사하고 있다.

현재 노인복지회관은 1981년 제정된 노인복지법에 근거한 노인여가시설로 규정되어, 각 시도별로 건립되고 있지만, 각 시설 관에서 제공하는 다양한 서비스가 체계화되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 더욱이 지방자치제의 전면적 실시로 인해 각 자치단체별로 건립이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 호남지역의 경우 2005년 36개소가 운영 중이며 노인복지회관의 건립 형태를 보면, 노인인구를 고려하여 건립되기보다는 지방자치단체별로 건져되고 있어 이용서비스프로그램 및 그에 대응하는 공간구성계획이나 면적구성계획들에 관한 세부계획이 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 호남지역의 노인복지회관을 조사대상으로 연면적분류에 따른 이용서비스프로그램 공간분류와 공간위치를 비교 분석하였으며, 각 이용공간으로 상담지도공간, 의료재활공간, 사회교육공간, 복리후생공간, 관리공간의 각 시설의 공간규모와 구성을 조사 분석하였다. 이를 기반으로 본 연구는 연면적에 따른 이용서비스공간구성과 규모를 분석하여 향후 노인복지회관의 공간구성계획 시 필요한 기초자료를 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다.

This study is aimed at identifying and evaluating the current operating model of elderly group homes in Korea, which were introduced with the amendment to the Welfare of the Aged Act in 2008, based on a survey of 25 managers of such homes. There are several key themes identified in the evaluation of their operation in terms of human resources, service, space and finance. The number of employees at the homes complied with the applicable law, with the majority having more employees than the minimum legal requirement for the care of residents. A wide variety of service programs were offered for residents. Typically located within detached houses purchased on the first floor, the homes varied in size from 73 square meters to 560 square meters, with each having a distinctly residence-like atmosphere. The greatest challenge such homes face was a shortage of financial resources. Many struggled to operate because they have no other source of revenue than payments from residents. Consequently, to help promote elderly group homes, there needs to be state-level support for the view that providing assistance for self-sufficient elders can save social costs in the long run by delaying their transition to a physical state requiring constant nursing.
