Abstract

This study was performed to determine the levels of physical and mental functioning and to reveal its association with related factors in the elderly people received long-term care insurance services. The interviews were performed, during the period from February 16, to March 31, 2011, to 350 elderlies admitted long-term care insurance dwelling in Daejeon city and Chungchung provinces. As a results, the levels of IADL and MMSE-K in the elderly received home care insurance services was significantly higher than that of the elderly received facility care insurance services. But the levels of ADL and CES-D was not significant. Concerning correlation of ADL, IADL, CES-D and MMSE-K, the level of ADL was positively correlated with the level of IADL and MMSE-K, whereas negatively correlated with the level of CES-D. IADL was positively correlated with the level of MMSE-K, whereas negatively correlated with the level of CES-D. As a results of multiple regression analysis, the factors of influence with the level of ADL and IADL were selected the variables of amnesia, regular exercise and MMSE-K. The factors of influence the level of CES-D and MMSE-K were selected the variables of subjective health status, amnesia and IADL. AS a above results, the levels of physical and mental functioning in the elderly people received long-term care insurance services implies closely related with the health status and health-related behaviors.

본 연구는 장기요양서비스의 질 제고를 위해 장기요양서비스 이용 노인들의 신체적 및 정신적 기능 상태를 평가해 보고, 그에 영향을 미치는 관련 요인을 규명하고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 대전지역에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인 중 장기요양서비스 이용자 350명(재가급여 178명, 시설급여 172명)으로 하였으며, 자료 수집은 2011년 2월 16일부터 3월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 표준화된 무기명식 면접조사용 설문지를 사용하여 면접조사를 통해 이루어졌다. 연구결과, 재가급여 노인의 IADL과 MMSE-K는 시설급여 노인보다 유의하게 높았으나 ADL과 CES-D는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. ADL, IADL, CES-D 및 MMSE-K 상호 간의 상관관계를 보면, 재가 및 시설급여 이용노인 모두 ADL은 IADL 및 MMSE-K와 양의 상관관계를 보인 반면, CES-D와는 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. IADL은 MMSE-K와 양의 상관관계를 보인 반면, CES-D와는 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 다중회귀분석 결과 재가 및 시설 급여 이용 노인 모두 ADL과 IADL에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 변수로는 건망증 증상 유무, 규칙적 운동 및 MMSE-K가 선정되었다. 또한 CES-D와 MMSE-K는 주관적 건강상태, 건망증 증상 유무 및 IADL이 유의하게 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이상과 같은 결과는 장기요양서비스 이용 노인들의 신체적 및 정신적 기능은 개인의 건강상태나 건강관련행위 특성과 밀접한 관련성이 있음을 시사하고 있다.
