  • 노인인구의 급증과 기능손상된 노인에 대한 장기적인 보살핌 제공과 관련 가족에 대한 요구 증가로 인해 노인학대 문제에 대한 환심이 커지고 있다. 이 연구는 다섯 개의 가상적 시나리오를 사용하여 재미한인노인과 그 자녀들의 수발상황에서의 잠재적 노인학대에 관한 인식과 원조요청 태도를 비교 분석하였다. 연구대상은 미국 로스엔젤리스에 살고 있는 한인노인 10명과 며느리를 포함하여 노인들의 자녀 19명으로 구성되었다. 내용분석 결과 수발상황의 잠재적 노인학대 문제에 관한 인식은 가족 내에 상당한 세대차이가 있었으나 원조요청 태도는 유사하였다. Mann-Whitney test로 전체 노인세대와 자녀세대를 집단비교한 결과 노인세대가 잠재적 노인학대 상황을 자녀세대보다 훨씬 덜 학대로 지각하는 경향으로 드러났다. 그러나 원조요청 태도에 있어서는 전체 노인세대와 자녀세대의 집단비교에서도 공적 원조를 활용하겠다는 의사에 유의미한 차이가 없는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 연구결과에 근거해 노인복지실천 및 프로그램 개발에 대한 함의를 논의하였다.

  • Korean society is experiencing rapid changes which are certain to shape the lives of the older people and their families. So, the purpose of this study was to improve the quality of the elderly welfare service in Korea. Even though the interest about the elderly welfare in Korea is rapidly on the increase, the reality of Korean Society still leaves much to be desired, quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Pay attent to this point, now going to grasp the situation of not the handicapped elder people but the general elder people actual life condition and demand for welfare. So this study focused on the demand of not out-of home service but in-home care service. It was based on the data from by Korea National Statistical Office, having observed 6,139 elderly people. The results were as follows. They hope to get the elderly welfare services about health examination service, nursing survice, supporting service for household. That was, the most of them wanted in-home care service than out-of home care service. To ensure effective care to the elderly, it needed development and settlement of welfare service in face of their daily living. And, even though they recognized that they should cover the elderly life expenses themselves, the rate was hit that indicated their adult children as a parents supporter.

To improve the quality of the elderly welfare service in Korea, the elderly welfare service should focus not only on the physical and spiritual health maintenance but also active understanding living environment and growing ability to arbitrate between individual and living.

  • The primary purpose of this study is to examine the buffering effect of social welfare services on the relationship between the level of older persons' impairment and burden experienced by the family caregivers. It also assessed the level of caregiving burden as well as the effect of both older person's impairment and the characteristics of the caregivers on burden. The survey data collected from 150 community residing family caregivers was used for analyses. Findings are as follows. First, the caregivers are more burdened in the deterioration of mental health, scarce time for oneself, and the suffering of social life than in other areas of burden. Second, the more severe the physical and the mental impairment of the elder, the more burden the caregivers experience. The caregivers' characteristics such as the worse mental health, the lower level of attachment to the elder, the longer caregiving hours are also related to the higher level of caregiving burden. Third, the caregivers' use of adult day care and respite care services buffer the relationship between the level of impairment of older persons and the caregiving burden. However, social work counselling, visiting nurse, homemaker services do not have such buffering effects. Among informal support, instrumental support buffers the relationship between the elder's physical impairment and burden, while emotional support buffers the relationship between the elder's mental impairment and burden. According to the results, implication for social welfare services and practice methods for the family caregivers was discussed.
