Abstract

The objective of this study is to suggest methods to improve in-home service quality through service evaluation by long-term care workers. To achieve this objective, general characteristics of 223 long-term care workers, evaluation of service and agency, and retraining needs have been surveyed. An assessment of the survey results have resulted in the following conclusions. Though long-term care workers are not uneducated, the majority face unstable employment. And the content of supervision hoped for in producing improved long-term care services has been found to be based on the service-user's relationships. Moreover, among topics needing to be addressed for retraining, much attention has been shown for understanding of the elderly and their families, health care knowledge about geriatric diseases, and counseling techniques directed towards the affected person and their family. Findings from the research are as follow: enhancing the quality of long-term care requires a structural reassessment; upgrading the quality of care agencies requires the improvement of methods used to raise awareness of users and their guardians and the expansion of opportunities for education programs for professionalism.

본 연구의 목적은 서비스 공급자로서 재가요양서비스를 제공하고 있는 요양보호사의 서비스에 대한 평가를 통해 서비스 품질 개선 방안을 찾는 것이다. 이를 위해 부산에서 활동 중인 요양보호사 223명을 대상으로 직무 환경, 서비스 기관에 대한 평가, 재교육 등에 대한 내용을 중심으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과 요양보호사는 학력은 낮지 않으나 연령대가 높고 불안정한 고용형태를 가진 이가 대다수였다. 더 나은 요양서비스를 위해 희망하는 슈퍼비전 내용은 서비스 이용자와의 관계성, 이용자 욕구 변화에 따른 대처 등이었다. 우선적으로 필요한 재교육 내용은 노년기 및 노인 가족에 대한 이해, 노인성 질환에 대한 보건 의료적 지식, 이용자 및 가족과의 상담기법 등으로 나타났다. 그리고 건강보험공단 등에 바라는 것은 이용자와 보호자의 인식 개선, 급여 인상, 그리고 전문성 강화 위한 교육 기회 확대 등이었다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 요양보호서비스 향상을 위한 방안으로 서비스 공급구조적 측면에서의 개선과 요양보호사와 업무에 대한 인식개선, 적절한 슈퍼비전과 재교육 기회 제공 등을 제안하였다.
