The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in the association between caregiver's activities and caregiving burden according to gender and family relationship of caregivers of older people with dementia. This study used data from the Caregivers of Alzheimer's Disease Research survey (n=476). The association between caregiving activities and care burden was analyzed by multiple regression. In this study, the caregivers were predominantly spouses, followed by daughters. The care burden, especially personal burden, and depression were significantly higher in women than men. The spouses (either male or female), compared with the sons and daughters, spent significantly more time providing care. Care time and depression of caregivers and physical disability of the patient were significantly correlated with care burden. Among the caregiving activities, using transportation, dressing, eating, looking after appearance, and supervising were significantly associated with care burden. The daughters and daughters-in-law presented more care burden with higher number of care days, and the female spouse who were younger tended to experience higher care burden. Daughters who provided longer time looking after appearance exhibited higher care burden. For female spouse, eating time was significantly associated with care burden. The association between caregiving activities and care burden of caregivers of people with dementia differed by gender and family relationship with the patient. This study was characterized by analyzing the effect of caregiving activities on caregiving burden by gender and family relationship of caregivers.

The considerable increase of the elderly with dementia is expected annually and when we think about the family members' and the patients' suffering, it could be painful. Above all things, it imposes heavy economic burdens on the family members that have patients who suffer from diseases of age like dementia or paralysis that caring them at home and also, it is not desirable for those old people in point of physical or environmental circumstances for medical care. Thus, it is needed urgently that the expansion of specified facilities and improvement of services for these old people. Under this present condition, it is the special feature that the subject of research is people/facilities that offer services, not the elderly with dementia-the main user of those facilities. Thus, it is the time that we need various accessing plans that can grasp the patiences' activities and specialties and solve these problems in view of designing interior space. So, I tried to make designs that manage the elderly with dementia effectively and adequate to run facilities with considerations on the state of domestic specialized long-term care facilities for the elderly with dementia and researched guiding principles on physical healing surroundings with analysis that focused on the patients' activities, especially.

The focus of this study was on the self-differentiation level of families with an elderly member suffering from dementia. Based on 340 questionnaires collected in Seoul and Gyeonggi, the study intended to explain the adaptation issues of those families. The variables of interest, which might be related to the self-differentiation, were chronic anxiety(i.e. stress), the family function, psychosomatic symptoms and the family's adaptation to care-giving. As a result of analyzing the effects of the variables potentially related to the self-differentiation level of care-giving families, the findings from this study were as follow. With decreasing self-differentiation level of the family caring for an elderly member suffering from dementia, the levels of stress and psychosomatic symptoms were significantly increased, but the family function and the adaptation to care-giving tended to decrease. Conversely, with increasing self-differentiation, the levels of stress and psychosomatic symptoms were significantly decreased, while the family function and adaptation to care-giving were promoted.

본 연구는 치매노인 발생이라는 가족 위기에 대하여 이를 돌보는 치매가족의 누적스트레스 정도를 확인하고 누적스트레스에 영향을 미치는 변수를 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사 연구이다. 대상자는 가정 내에서 동거를 하며 치매노인을 돌보는 가족 중 편의표출법에 의해 선택된 102명이었다. 연구도구로는 McCubbin(1987)의 누적스트레스 측정 도구, McCubbin, Patterson과 Thompson(1991)의 가족 강인성 측정 도구, McCubbin, Patterson과 Glynn(1982)의 사회적지지 측정 도구, McCubbin, Larsen과 Olson(1982)의 친척 및 친구지지 측정 도구, 그리고 McCubbin, Larsen 과 Olson(1981)에 의해 개발된 가족의 문제해결 및 대응전략 측정 도구를 이용하였다. 본 연구결과 치매노인을 돌보는 가족의 누적스트레스 정도는 평균 1.74점(범위 1.3-2점)로 나타나 비교적 높은 누적스트레스를 나타내었다. 가족의 강인성, 사회적지지, 친척 및 친구지지, 가족의 문제해결 및 대응전략의 점수가 높을수록 가족의 누적 스트레스 정도가 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 가족의 누적스트레스에 영향을 미치는 주요변수들은 8%의 설명력을 보여주었고 여기에 치매노인을 돌보는 가족의 일반적 특성 중 주간호제공자가 인지한 본인의 건강상태, 치매노인의 건강상태, 하루 중 치매노인을 돌보는 시간, 치매노인을 돌본 기간, 치매가족의 총수입, 치매노인을 돌보는데 드는 비용 등 모든 변수를 중심으로 다중 회귀분석을 한 결과 이 모형에서는 21.7%의 설명력을 보여주었다. 이 변수들 중 치매가족의 총수입과 치매노인을 돌보는데 드는 비용이 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났는데, 이는 가족의 누적스트레스를 감소하기 위해서는 그 어떤 변수보다도 가족의 안정을 위한 기본 요소인 경제부분이 많은 영향력을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 차후 치매노인을 돌보는 비용을 감소할 수 있는 정책적이고 구조적인 장치가 필요함을 시사하고 있다.
