Abstract

This study aims to investigate the awareness and needs of patients as consumers and therapists as providers on the introduction of home physical therapy in the long-term care insurance. The survey participants were 96 patients and 132 physical therapists to a questionnaires, we analyzed for frequency of each questionnaire about awareness and necessity. As a result of the test, they considered that physical activity support services provided by nurse and nurses aid ware not specialized enough(pt 60,4%, PT 75,4%) and quality therapy should be available through a home physical therapy(pt 47.9%, PT 59.2%). Also, patients responded that the priorities to improve long-term care insurance were given to lowering expenses(35,4%) and expanding coverage of subjects(32.3%) while the physical therapists responded that professionals should be expanded(73.8%) and diverse rehabilitation services(20.2%) and a rehabilitation team should be introduced. They responded that the reasons of home physical therapy were needed that it was hard for patients to visit medical centers(PT 30.0%) themselves and it would be improvable for them to get physical function in elderly(pt 47.1%) through the service. In conclusion, as most patients as well as physical therapists responded that home visit therapy services should be introduced and their awareness of it was very high, it is suggested that the service should be quickly introduced as soon as possible.

본 연구는 노인장기요양보험제도에서 가정방문물리치료 제도의 도입과 정착을 위해 수급자 측면의 환자와 공급자 측면의 물리치료사의 인식 및 필요성에 대한 의견을 알아보고자 하였다. 조사 참여자는 광주광역시 소재 의료기관에 근무하는 물리치료사(130명)와 환자(96명)를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 환자(60.4%)와 물리치료사(75.4%)는 장기요양보험제도에서 간호사 및 간호조무사에 의해 제공되는 신체활동 지원서비스는 전문성이 부족하며, 가정방문물리치료를 통해 질적인 치료가 가능할 것이라고 응답하였다(환자 47.9%, 물리치료사 59.2%).또한 장기요양보험제도 개선 시 가장 우선순위에 대한 질문에서 환자는 급여비 절감(35.4%)과 대상자 확대(32.3%), 치료사는 전문인력 확대(73.8%)와 다양한 재활서비스의 도입(20.2%)순으로 응답하였고, 재활팀의 도입이 필요하다고 응답하였다. 가정방문물리치료가 필요한 이유는 환자가 의료기관에 가기 힘듦(PT 30.0%)과 노인의 신체기능이 향상(pt47.1%)되기 때문이라고 응답하였다. 결론적으로 물리치료사뿐만 아니라 수요자인 환자 대부분에서 노인장기요양보험제도 내에 가정방문물리치료 도입에 관한 필요성 및 인식도가 현저히 높은 것으로 나타나 제도의 시행이 시급한 것으로 판단된다.
