Abstract

This study describes visiting caregivers' perceptions and reporting of elder abuse. From January 13 to February 10, 2014, data were collected from 249 visiting caregivers working at homes by using a structured questionnaire. The caregivers' perceptions of abuse were high overall. Physical abuse was the most common type, followed by financial, verbal, negligence, and emotional abuse. Most visitors recognized that it is important to require reporting for the prevention of elder abuse, but most of them had no experience with reporting abuse, and the agencies that they knew were mostly the police. A majority of the visiting caregivers had attended an elder abuse program and recognized the importance of such programs. The caregivers hoped that the programs would have specific examples of how to deal with elder abuse and family counseling methods, and other practical content for their work. Programs should focus on coping with individual cases, proper counseling methods, and awareness of elder abuse.

본 논문은 재가시설 방문요양보호사들의 노인학대와 관련한 인식정도를 학대신고 및 관련 교육경험을 중심으로 조사한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료수집은 2014년 1월 13일부터 2월 10일까지 방문요양보호사 249명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문을 통해 이루어졌다. 전체적인 노인학대 인식은 높았으며, 학대 유형 중 신체적 학대에 대한 인식이 가장 높고, 재정적, 언어적, 방임 그리고 정서적 학대 순으로 나타났다. 대부분의 방문요양보호사들은 노인학대 예방을 위한 신고의무가 중요하다고 인식했으나, 다수의 경우가 신고경험이 없고, 알고 있는 신고기관 종류가 대부분 경찰로 다소 제한적이었다. 관련 교육에 있어서는 다수의 방문요양보호사들이 노인학대 예방 및 신고에 대한 교육프로그램의 학습요구도가 매우 높았으며, 노인학대의 사례와 대처방법, 가족에 대한 상담과 교육방법 등 재가 현장에 필요한 구체적이고 실제적인 내용을 주로 희망하였다. 이에 재가시설 방문요양보호사들을 위한 노인학대 예방교육 프로그램 개발 시 유형별 노인학대의 인식, 신고의무 및 신고체계에 대한 정확한 이해 그리고 구체적인 학대사례와 대처방법이 중심이 되어야 하며, 재가의 특성 상 가족들의 상담과 교육 또한 중요내용으로 포함될 필요가 있다.
