Purpose: This study aimed to suggest strategies for advancing local-government-based accreditation systems and surveyor training in long-term care facilities in Korea. Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature including research papers and official reports issued by governments from the United States, Australia, and Japan was conducted to explore domestic and international policies related to long-term care facility certification and accreditation systems. Results: The USA has two types of care quality assurance systems including mandatory certification (5-star rating system) by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and voluntary accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Australia operates a government-based mandatory accreditation system for all long-term care facilities through the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency. Japan, particularly the Tokyo district, operates a third-party evaluation system that involves the voluntary participation of long-term care facilities. Conclusion: This study provides several strategies to enhance accreditation processes and surveyors'expertise. For instance, motivating facilities to voluntarily participate in accreditation is necessary by 1) providing sufficient and continuous consultations and feedback about how to improve care quality, 2) differentiating accreditation domains and indicators from the national health insurance certification system, and 3) actively utilizing accreditation results and providing incentives.

This study attempted to explore how middle aged married men and women prospected a Centenarian society and what implications their prospect cast for family policy. We conducted focus group interviews with five groups in order to identify their subjective prospects on marital relations, parent-child relations, caregiving from family or institutions, and alternative living arrangement. From those interviews, we found that married men and women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s possessed ambivalent attitudes toward their marital relationship, either acknowledging an importance of marital relationship or accepting long-standing disrespectful marital relationship. They also had a dualistic perspective on parent-child relationship, accepting parental responsibility for children and even grand-children but maintaining low expectations for children. What they needed was age appropriate opportunities for work or leisure and better community services and facilities. These results showed that the middle-aged was concerned experiencing unprecedented family situations. They needed family life education and services in order to adapt to the Centenarian society. Since family policy has viewed this age group out of service target, programs and services have been underdeveloped for this group. Expecting a Centenarian society however, we need to expand the boundary of family policy and take a new perspective. We need to develop and implement marital education programs, community-based self-care services, and age-appropriated opportunities for work, leisure, and social relations.

본 연구의 목적은 노인복지시설 종사자들을 대상으로 성 인식 수준에 따른 성 수용태도에 차이가 있는지와 성 인식 태도가 성 수용 태도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보기 위해 설계되었다. 이러한 연구를 통해 노인복지시설에서 노인들을 위한 성 관련 서비스를 실천하고 개입할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 노인복지시설 종사자의 성 인식 수준에 따라 성 수용 태도는 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 즉, 성 인식 수준이 높은 집단이 낮은 집단과 보통집단에 비해 성 수용 태도가 유의미하게 더 개방적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 성 인식은 성 수용 태도에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 성 인식 수준이 민주적 일수록 성 수용 태도가 개방적인 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구결과에 따른 논의를 통해 노인복지시설 종사자를 위한 성 교육 프로그램 개발을 비롯한 사회복지실천을 위한 개입 방안을 제안하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the social network types of elders and to identify differences among latent classes by social network. Methods: The data of 312 elders used in this study were collected from health, welfare, and other facilities and from elders living in the community. The interviews were conducted from July 16 to September 30, 2007 using a standard, structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, one way ANOVA with the SPSS 15.0 program and latent class analysis using Maximum Likelihood Latent Structure Analysis (MLLSA) program were used to analyze the data. Results: Using latent class analysis, social network types among older adults were identified as diverse for 58.0% of the sample, as family for 34.0%, and as isolated for 8.0%. The health status of respondents differed significantly by network type. Elders in diverse networks had significantly higher health status and elders in isolated networks had significantly lower physical health status on average than those in all other networks. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that these network types have important practical implications for health status of elders. Social service programs should focus on different groups based on social network type and promote social support and social integration.

2019년 말 기준 전국의 총 인구는 51,849,861명 이며, 최근 5년간 세대 당 인구는 2015년 2.45명/세대에서 2019년 2.31명/세대로 연평균 1.52%의 감소를 보이고 있다. 여기서 연령대별 인구분포 현황을 살펴보면 65세 이상의 고령자 비율이 부산광역시가 18.2%로 가장 높았으며, 세종특별자치시가 9.4%로 가장 적은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 2019년 기준 교통약자에 대한 인구는 전국 15,219천 명으로 전국 인구대비 약 29.4%의 비율을 보이고 있다. 따라서 교통약자가 안전하고 편리하게 이동할 수 있도록 이동편의시설에 따른 이동권 확보가 중요하다. 이와 같은 배경 하에 본 연구는 안전하고 편리한 이동을 위한 교통약자중심의 교통복지시설에 가치를 두고, 특히 고령화 사회의 진입과 교통약자의 지속적인 증가에 대응하기 위한 방안을 제시함에 있어 대중교통시설인 교통복지시설이 교통약자에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 이에 대한 시사점을 제시하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 연구 방법은 주요선행연구와 전문가 설문조사를 통해 통계적 분석방법 결과를 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation of social support and aggression of early adolescents. The subject were 220 adolescents aged 11 & 14 years, who were enrolled 11 child welfare facilities or 6 public schools(3 elementary & 3 middle schools) in Seoul. That is, 110 institutionalized(IA) & 110 middle class home-reared adolescent (HA)s were examined. They subjects were asked to complete the questionnaire on social support and aggression. According to the results, 1)IAs perceived less support from peers or adults and showed more aggressive behaviors than HAs. 2)Significant sex difference was observed in aggression. Girls showed lower level of aggression than boys. 3)Adolescents' aggression was significantly correlated with social support. The more support from friends, classmates, and parents HAs perceive, the less aggression they reported. Though support from peers was correlated significantly only with anger expression, support from parents was correlated significantly with all the components of aggression. And the more support from friends and classmates HAs perceive, the less aggression they reported. These findings implicate that social support is a important factor in preventing aggressive behaviors of early adolescents.
