This study investigates differences by type of caregiving using data on three groups of caregivers, 177 from home stay situations, 189 from day care centers, and 138 from nursing homes. First, the result shows that characteristics of both caregivers and elders differ by type of caregiving. Second, caregivers in the home stay situation have the highest caregiving burden of the three groups. Third, from examination of the related variables, the caregiving burden of home stay caregivers is affected by family income, caregivers' health, type of job, and whether or not the elder has symptoms of dementia. Also, the study reveals that emotional services for elders reduce the aggravation of family relations and economic burden, but that instrumental services highly increase economic burden. It reveals that caregivers of elders in day care centers, especially those who are in bad health, are more likely to experience feelings of constriction, aggravation of family relations and economic burden. On the other hand, caregivers who receive more emotional services have better experiences in family relations, including relations with the elder. In case of the elders of nursing homes, if the main caregiver is a daughter-in-law, aggravation of family relations is higher than if the main caregiver is a spouse. Finally, the caregiver's burden is affected by their own health and income, and by whether the elder has symptoms of dementia or stroke.

연구는 고령화가 급속하게 진행되고 있는 현대 사회에서 노인 인구의 증가와 관련된 문제를 조사하고 해결 방안을 탐구하는 데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 고령화 사회의 도래로, 노년 인구는 더 많은 관심과 지원이 필요하다. 이에 기업들은 AI 및 로봇 기술을 활용하여 노인 돌봄 서비스를 제공하려고 시도하고 있다. 이러한 서비스는 건강 관리와 일상생활 돌봄뿐만 아니라 정서적 건강 측면에서 노인들에게 도움을 줄 수 있다. 논문에서는 현재 시장에서 제공되는 다양한 노인관련 기술을 분석하고, 그 장단점 및 발전 가능성을 조사한다. 논문은 고령화 문제를 해결하기 위해 기업들이 더 많은 AI 및 로봇 기반의 노인 돌봄 서비스를 개발하고 제공해야 한다는 결론에 도달한다. 이러한 서비스는 고령화 사회의 사회적 및 정서적 문제를 완화하고, 노인들의 삶의 질을 향상할 수 있다.

통계청의 65세 이상 독거노인의 실태(통계청의 '2010 고령자 통계') 통계에 의하면, 2010년 65세 이상 노인이 홀로 사는 '노인단독가구(독거노인)' 수는 1,021천 가구로, 총 가구의 6.0%를 차지하고 있으며, 2030년에는 노인 단독가구의 비중이 11.8%에 이를 것으로 전망하고 있다. 또한 이런 독거노인들은 열악한 환경 속에서 건강문제, 경제적인 어려움, 외로움, 소외감 등 여러 가지 복지서비스적인 문제점이 나타날 보여 진다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 앞으로 점점 고령화사회로 진전이 이루어질 것으로 보이기 때문에, 독거노인의 증가로 인해 발생되어지는 문제점을 현실적으로 파악하고, 이들이 요구하고 있는 복지 수요를 대처하기 위한 실버케어시스템을 설계하여 제안한다.

Considering recent changes in care policies for children and the elderly, this study assumed that the familialistic characteristics of the welfare state in Korea might differ from those of the past. In order to explore the direction of change in familialism, this study focused on care policies for children under six and for the elderly who are sixty-five and over. Applying Leitner's four types of familialism-implicit familialism, explicit familialism, optional familialism, and de-familialism-to the study, it analyzed both familialization care policies, such as paid parental leave, homecare allowance, tax credit, and de-familialization care policies, including service provision and subsidies. The results of the study showed that care policy for children under 6 displayed the characteristics of "optional familialism," while care policy for the elderly reflected "de-familialism."

The purpose of this study is to identify the preferences for care type among the elderly and to analyze contributing variables. The sample in this study are 485 elder people who are age 55 and over. The independent variables are divided into five factors according to their characteristics, and the dependent variables fall into two categories of private and public care types. The descriptive statistics and Logistic Regression method are employed for the analysis. The results can be summarized as follows. The elderly prefer individual care paid for by their own support to the other types like the care by children or institution. However, the elderly stiff like and expect family care by their children. The variables that haute affected the preferences of the care types among the elderly are whether they are employed or not, household's the amount of debt, whether they currently live with the oldest child, their level of self esteem and their degree of satisfaction in life. The results show that the elderly don't have various wants or alternatives to their care and regard public care as negative support for the financially incapable or the elderly who have no relatives.

Elderly care services are health, mental health, social health, and residential services provided to temporarily or chronically disabled older persons over an extended period of time with a goal of enabling them to function as independently as possible. And elderly care facilities such as nursing homes are places in which elderly care services have to be delivered effectively. It is, therefore, desirable to compose the space of elderly care facilities to meet the mental and physical abilities of frail elder people. This study has proposed the hierarchical space organization of elderly care facilities with an aim to fulfill the goals of them. Frail older people in hierarchically designed homes are anticipated to use the inner and outer spaces of care facilities as independently as possible in accordance with their physical and mental abilities.

This study is aimed both to define a conception of Health Care Systems and to suggest Desirable Reorganization Directions in Korea. The Desirable Reorganization Directions of Health Care System in Korea is as follows ; 1. The Health Care System of Free Market System has to reorganize step by step for the Directions of National Health System. 2. The Health Care System has to reorganize with local socite as the center of local community. Especially, Health Sub-Center should be reorganized to provide Compresensive Health Care, so that the Sub-Center consist at least 15 members of health workers including a chief of governmental office. 3. The Health Care System has to reorganize for the Directions responding problems of the Elder, New Medical Technology Development, and Health Information System.

Purpose: The objectives of this study was to measure the outcomes of interventions on the health and social welfare of the elderly in a rural community in Korea. The project involved integrating services of one public health center with that of one social welfare agency, which were under different administrative structures. Method: A single group pretest-posttest design was used for this research. Seventy-five elderly residents living alone in a rural community participated in the study. All of them had coverage of free basic medical care and social welfare services by the government. Major activities for the intervention included: developing partnerships among community leaders/institutes; forming committees of community residents; educating care providers and volunteers; developing 8 integrated service programs and instruments; and organizing the networks. The 20-month intervention was care-managed by a public health nurse whom collaborated with social worker, and was assisted by volunteers. The t-test was utilized to analyze the outcome variables including the elder's health, social welfare and quality of life. A major limitation of this study was the lack of a control group. Results: The outcome of the intervention was shown by improved elder's health, social welfare needs, and quality of life. Integrating the services of public health centers with those of social welfare agencies is an effective way to improve the health of the elderly in the community. Conclusion: Developing community capacity with such integrated services will pay an important role in improving the health of the elderly who live alone.

본 논문은 독거노인을 위한 스마트 케어 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다. 최근 의학, 생활수준, 환경의 급속한 개선으로 생활수준이 높아짐에 따라 고령 인구의 비율이 높아지고 있다. 또한 고령화 사회와 더불어 증가하는 독거노인 비율은 노인 케어 시스템, 응급 상황 알림과 같은 서비스의 제공이 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다는 것을 시사한다. 그러나 기존의 응급상황알림을 위한 기술들은 고정된 CCTV 영상을 분석하기 때문에 CCTV 사각지대에서의 모니터링에 대한 어려움과 카메라가 설치되지 않은 장소로 이동하는 등 정해진 범위를 벗어나는 활동을 할 경우 실시간으로 케어 할 수 없다는 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 실시간으로 이동이 가능한 로봇과 객체 추적 기술을 활용한 스마트 케어 시스템을 설계하고 개발한다. 이를 통해 장소에 구애받지 않고 실시간 모니터링이 가능하며, 응급상황시 빠르게 도움을 요청해 보호자 및 도우미들에게 편의를 제공할 수 있도록 한다.
