이 연구의 목적은 노인자살률의 지역적 차이를 기술하고 지역적인 노인자살률의 차이에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 규명하는데 있다. 통계분석을 위하여 2000년부터 2008년까지 16개 광역자치단체의 자살에 대한 자료가 이용되었다. 조이혼율, 1인당 지역생산액, 복지예산비율, 여가시설수, 의료 및 주거복지시설수, 체육시설수 등 여섯 개 독립변수들이 다중회귀분석에 도입되었으며 노인자살률, 여성노인자살률, 남성노인자살률 등이 종속변수로 사용되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 노인자살률은 2000년 이후 지속적으로 상승하였으며 노인자살률의 지역적 차이 역시 존재하였다. 다중회귀분석결과에 따르면 체육시설(${\beta}$=-521), 복지예산비율(${\beta}$=-375) 그리고 여가시설(${\beta}$=-219) 등은 노인자살률에 통계적으로 유의미한 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 반면, 의료시설수(${\beta}$=0.550)와 조이혼율(${\beta}$=0336)은 노인자살률에 통계적으로 유의미한 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 연구결과를 기초로 하여 노인자살률을 완화시키기 위한 정책적 함의들이 소개되고 논의되었다.

Despite the substantial increase of the elderly population in Korea, welfare policies such as housing programs have not been developed enough to meet the diverse needs of the aging people. Particularly, caring for elderly dementia patients is becoming a serious social problem in Korean society. Families are still primarily responsible for taking care of the elderly dementia patients, and thus are suffering from tremendous caregiving burdens. In many Western countries, group homes, which are small-scale care facilities with home-like atmosphere, have become common housing alternatives for elderly dementia patients. Group homes effectively create a therapeutic environment while helping reduce the elder care burdens for the families. This article proposes to review group homes as a housing option for the elderly with dementia in Korea. The purpose of this article is to make suggestions for housing policies, separately or as a part of more general welfare policies. Based on the questionnaire survey conducted on 912 persons currently residing in Seoul and five different provinces, various possible policies and suggestions to promote establishing group homes and other facilities for elderly dementia patients are discussed in this article.

사회복지관련 예산의 급격한 증가가 함께 사회복지관련 사업도 다양한 분야로 확대되고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 사회복지정책을 수행하는 정부 및 지자체에 의한 지원과 보조사업 추진의 당위성 및 논거를 명확히 할 필요가 있다고 사료되며, 본 연구는 후생경제학 입장에서 노인복지시설 운영지출에 의해 이용노인들이 얻게 되는 효과인 사회적 편익, 즉 경영가치를 분석하고자 하였다. 노인복지정책의 달성을 위해 제공되는 복지서비스를 통해 지역 노인들은 가족들의 경제활동 참여기회 제공, 질환 예방 및 건강증진 기회제공, 삶의 만족감 제고 등의 다양한 영향을 발생시키게 되며, 본 연구에서는 노인복지시설 이용시 노인들이 얻게 되는 편익을 AHP분석기법을 적용하여 운영가치를 산출하였다. 수도권지역 P노인복지관의 사례를 적용한 결과 노인복지관 운영에 의한 이용가치는 248.4억원으로 추정되었으며, 이 중에서 비용요소에 의해 발생하는 기여효과는 전체의 23.1%인 57.3억원으로 분석되었으며, 자립요소 57.6억원(23.2%), 치료요소 133.4억원(53.7%)의 순으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과는 노인복지예산 및 서비스를 소비지출 및 소모성 혜택 정도로 인식하는 사회분위기 속에서 사회적 논란 야기 및 재정압박요인으로 작용하는 현 시점에서 노인복지정책에 대한 개입 지원 보조의 당위성 논의의 타당성은 결국 실증적인 분석을 통하여 뒷받침될 수 있느냐에 달려 있다고 사료되며, 본 연구는 이를 위한 기초적 연구로서의 역할이 기대된다. 또한 복지예산은 소멸성 지출이 아니며 우리나라 사회 경제에 다양한 영향을 파생시키는 중요한 산업임을 본 연구에서 확인할 수 있었으며, 지속적 연구를 통해 정책적 지원 및 사회적 합의가 필요하다.

Considering the current rise in elderly population, institutions and facilities caring for the elderly are currently unable to satify the growing needs of the aged wanting the better qualities of life. Therefore, this study will analyze institutions and policies for the elderly in Japan, which has already experienced the rise in elderly population about 30 years earlier than Korea. Because the living conditions of Japan is somewhat similar to that of Korea, analyzing its solutions, both governmental and private, will help better understand the current situations of Korea and possibly offer guidelines as to better serve the growing demands of the aged. In Japan, the social welfare policies directed at caring for the elderly are mainly directed by the government: however, the private services tend to be more adroit at meeting the ever-changing demands of the elderly. Incidentally, the privately owned elderly homes of Japan are a major part of so called the "Silver Industries". The elderly home that are run by private corporations consititute 50 percent of all private institutions for the elderly. These homes tend tobe situated in a city, or near a city environment, serving 25 to 99 people. The types of such homes can be classified from A to D,E,F, reflecting the various services offered by such homes meeting the various demands by the elderly populatiov. Analyzing the social tred of Japan for theelderly, it can be said that the responsibility of the elderly should not only be relied upon the government, but to the society as whole, both public and private. The ever-changing demands of the elderly, wanting better qualities of life, can be better served by systematic analysis of the demands and the various solutions to such demands.

Because the psychophysical symptoms of hearing loss and dementia in the elderly are very similar, untrained healthcare professionals in dementia facilities can easily overlook a severity of hearing loss in their patients. The present study identifies their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) on hearing loss using a survey whether they may help hearing problem of the patients with dementia. A total of 29 health-care professionals responded to the KAP survey. Also, 2 family members participated. The results showed that most of the nurses and caregivers in elderly medical welfare facilities who worked with dementia patients did not have knowledge of their hearing loss. Even the facility managers did not know how to conduct hearing tests for their patients although they did recognize that some of their patients had a hearing loss. Eventually, actual practice was not possible at this moment by the professionals. However, our respondents did have a positive attitude toward screening for hearing loss and help their patients with dementia wear hearing aids if a clinical guideline was provided. We suggest to develop clear and precise clinical guidelines of the hearing screening test for the dementia patients due to the interrelationship between dementia and hearing loss. When these guidelines apply to elderly residents in a medical welfare facility, early diagnosis and treatment of their sensory loss will help alleviate their dementia as well.
