Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the frequency and status of mentally ill patients who registered in a community health center (CHC) but they could not be accessed. Methods: A total of 233 mentally ill individuals who were registered to a CHC in B Metropolitan City participated in this survey. Data were collected from December 1 to 31, 2010 and analyzed. Results: There were 140 (60.1%) community dwelling mentally ill patients who had been registered to that CHC but were not accessible. The major reasons of this inaccessibility were patients' rejection to be accessed (27.1%) and the wrong or missing address in hospital's discharge note (22.9%). The nursing problems of the subjects were rejection of medication (93.4%); poor personal hygiene (85.8%); violence including harassment of family member(s), assault, property destruction, threat with weapon (38.7%); and so on. Among 159 cases of referrals and requests for help immediate action with patient's compliance were only 8.8%.

본 연구의 목적은 정신재활서비스가 정신장애인의 자립생활 역량에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 검증하는데 있다. 연구대상은 독립주거 거주기간과 정신재활시설 이용기간이 3개월 이상인 정신장애인들이며, 전국 총 42개 기관의 이용자 231명에게 설문조사를 실시하여 자료를 수집한 뒤 위계적 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 정신장애인들이 이용한 정신재활서비스 이용종류 수가 많고, 정신재활서비스에 대한 도움 만족도가 클수록, 자립생활 교육을 받은 경우 정신장애인의 자립생활 역량이 향상되었다. 이는 지역사회중심의 통합적인 정신재활서비스가 정신장애인 자립생활 역량 강화에 기여하는 효과를 가짐을 의미한다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 정신장애인의 자립생활 역량을 향상하기 위한 통합적인 정신재활서비스의 발전방안을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 장애의 특성상 인권보장이 '다수의 안전'이나 '치료적 이득'과 갈등이 있을 수밖에 없는 정신장애인의 인권 보장과 제한을 일반적으로 어떻게 이해하는지를 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 따라서 일반인 10명, 전문가 9명, 정신장애인 6명을 대상으로 각 권리(존엄성 존중, 차별대우 받지 않을 권리, 자발적 입원보장, 자유로운 환경보장)별로 문제영역(장기입원, 운전면허취득제한, 강제입원, 통신의 자유제한)을 구체화하여 면담하였다. 면담내용을 질적 분석한 결과 조사대상자들이 권리보장과 제한을 이해하는 두 가지 차원을 발견하였다. 첫 번째 차원은 권리보장과 제한을 다수에 미치는 긍정적 결과를 중심으로 정당화하느냐 아니면 인권존중의 보편적 원리를 내세워 권리중심으로 정당화하느냐 하는 것이다. 두 번째 차원은 권리보장과 제한의 판단주체를 공식적 체계에 두느냐 아니면 비공식적 체계에 두느냐 하는 것이다.

본 연구는 수단-목적사슬이론에 입각하여 노인정신장애인의 사회복지서비스 이용행동에 대한 예측을 시도하는 것이다. 노인정신장애인들이 새로운 요보호대상 인구집단으로 부상함에도 불구하고, 지역사회 차원에서 이들을 위한 사회복지서비스들이 부재함에 문제의식을 가지고, 노인정신장애인을 위한 사회복지서비스 개발을 위하여 수단-목적사슬이론에 입각하여 서비스 이용행동을 분석해 보았다. 인터뷰 대상자는 노인정신장애인 15명이였으며, 이들을 통해 도출된 내용은 속성 7개, 혜택 10개, 가치 11개였다. 프로그램 이용에 대한 가치단계도는 '질병관리, 사회복귀 준비, 취미 여가 ${\rightarrow}$ 건강유지, 삶의 활용 ${\rightarrow}$ 사회복귀, 생활 만족도, 원만한 가정생활'로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해서 노인정신장애인들이 사회복귀시설 프로그램을 이용할 때 가지는 인지구조를 경험적으로 확인할 수 있게 되었다. 노인정신장애인들은 질병관리나 사회 복귀를 준비하기 위해서 이용할 뿐 아니라 노년기에 느끼게 되는 삶의 무료함을 해결하기 위하여 이용하고 있음도 확인되었다. 그리고 어떤 프로그램을 이용하더라도 삶의 활력을 중요한 혜택으로 고려하고 있었다. 향후 정신보건영역에서 노인정신장애인을 위한 사회복지 프로그램을 개발할 때, 정신장애인으로 이용하게 되는 질병 관리나 지역사회 적응 뿐만 아니라 취미여가를 개발할 수 있는 다양한 여가문화 프로그램도 고려할 필요가 있다. 그리고 프로그램의 주요한 성과 중 하나로 삶의 활력을 설정하고 이를 성취할 수 있는 프로그램 개발도 이루어질 필요가 있다.

Objectives: This is a descriptive study which was carried out to identify characteristics of the chronic mentally ill and their families in a rural area and the influencing factors on family burden. Methods : Data was collected for seven months beginning April 1, 1998 by questionnaire from chronic mentally ill patients and their families in two towns and seven townships of the rural areas of Kyonggi Province. In additional to the mental diagnosis of the mentally ill patients, family burden was measured by interviewing the other family members using the questionnaire developed by Pai & Kapur (1981). Of those interviewed, 103 patients were selected for final analysis. Results : Of 103 mentally ill patients, 36.1% of the subjects were not under treatment. In particular, of 29 patients with schizophrenia, 48.3% of the subjects had stopped taking medication and 6.9% of the subjects had never been treated. According to the results of a specialized examination by a psychologist, 81% of patients were in need of Hospitalization. Most primary caregivers were parents. Of the 101 primary caregivers in the study, 39.6% were over 65 years old. In case of death of the primary caregiver, 50.5% of these 101 mentally ill patients would not have anyone to care for them. Of the various kinds of family burden, primary caregivers most often reported psychological stress. Overall, the families of dementia and schizophrenia patients complained of the most family burden. Through univariative analysis, the variables of sex, education and current treatment type of the patients, the relationship with the patient and marital status of the primary caregiver and the number of people living together in the household showed significant correlation with the family burden of schizophrenia patients. Univariative analysis also showed that there were a number of variables which were correlated to the family burden in mentally retarded patients. Concerning the need for mental health services, the most common requests were for entitlement to disability benefits and housing programs. Conclusions: Community mental health services in rural areas must be developed, planned and executed in consideration of the local situation. In particular, the development of various family support programs is needed in order to mitigate emotional, mental and economic burdens and carry out a positive role to care for and rehabilitate patients.
