본 연구는 새롭게 도입된 노인장기요양보험제도 체계 내에서 공적보호서비스(시설보호서비스와 재가보호서비스)를 이용하게 되는 요인과 두 서비스유형간의 선택을 결정하게 되는 요인을 밝히고자 한다. Andersen의 행동모델에 기반하여 노인장기요양서비스 이용형태를 결정하는 소인요인과 자원요인, 욕구요인의 영향을 검증하는 연구모형을 구성하였으며, 노인장기요양보험 2차 시범사업의 서비스 이용권리가 있는 요양 1~3등급의 노인 5,497명의 서비스 이용자료와 개인적 특성 자료를 활용하여 다항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 서비스 이용의 본인부담금을 나타내는 소득수준에 따라 서비스 이용형태에 차이가 나타났다. 국민기초생활보호대상자, 일반소득계층, 차상위계층의 순으로 서비스 이용이 높았으며, 재가보호서비스에 비해 시설보호서비스의 이용이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 군지역에 비해 대도시와 중소도시가 시설보호서비스 또는 재가보호서비스를 이용할 확률이 높으며, 특히 중소도시의 경우 재가보호서비스보다는 시설보호서비스 이용이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 요양 1~2등급이 3등급에 비해 시설보호서비스 또는 재가보호서비스 이용이 높으나, 등급에 따른 서비스 이용 유형간 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 넷째, 일상생활수행능력(ADL), 수단적 일상생활수행능력(IADL), 인지기능과 문제행동의 기능이 나쁠수록 시설보호서비스 이용이 높으며, 재가보호보다는 시설보호를 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 간호처치영역은 기능상태가 나쁠수록 서비스 이용이 적고, 재활영역의 기능상태는 통계적 유의미성을 나타내지 못하였다. 이와같은 연구결과를 통해 현 노인장기요양보험제도의 본인부담금의 조정과 지역별 균형적인 서비스인프라 구축의 필요성을 제기하며, 또한 요양등급판정체계의 재검증의 필요성을 제기하는 바이다.

Results : The study found that first, the elderly living alone with restricted daily functions comprised 22.1% of the total elderly living alone, and those who were older elderly, illiterate, with low-income, having poor nutrition management, and with a poor health status. Second, among the elderly living alone with restricted daily functions, there was a group with very little support from the family and only 14.0% were covered by long-term care insurance. Third, the life satisfaction of the elderly with restricted functions was lower than that of the non-restricted elderly, and was affected by income, health conditions, depression, access to senior welfare centers, and communication with others. Conclusions : The elderly living alone with restricted daily functions have serious health risks and social support, and hence they should be provided with more proactive support for life, health care and social care to live independently within their communities.

The nursing-care insurance system started in April, 2000 in Japan. It was a kind of business opportunities for a lot of private entrepreneurs. They came into this care service business from another type of business rapidly. They opened the pay nursing homes with 24 hour nursing. However, the expense load of the nursing-care insurance system was large, local governments started controlling on total numbers of facilities with 24 hours nursing in 2006. So the group houses besides the pay nursing home without nursing care are paid to attention. The pay nursing home has been often managed by the nursing business. Most of the group houses are managed by community based NPO. This study is a case study by the visit and the interview form for one of the group houses. The group house "Shalom Tsukimino" in Kanagawa started operations comparatively at early time among them. Through the study we recognized that a lot of people were helping the NPO as a community service. So they can manage the group house and people who live there get the services with low cost. They show that they separate residence and nursing and use the community service efficiently. We can find a new direction in this case for the life in elderly.
