Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of family relations on facility adaptation of the elderly. In January and February of 2018, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 5 ~ 6 elderly residents of each long-term care facility, and finally 353 data were used for analysis. The main results of the study were as follows: First, the adaptation level of the elderly was high. As for 'maladjustment of group behavior' and 'movement shock', the level of maladjustment is low as 2 points, and adaptation dimension such as 'accept of new residence' and 'making friend' is above the middle level. Second, the influence of family variables was more influential than the demographic characteristics of the elderly and the influence of the facility-related variables. Among them, the closeness with family is the most influential. Therefore, it is suggested that the elderly need active support and efforts to maintain the intimacy with the family from the entrance to the facility and the time after the entrance.

본 연구에서는 노인장기요양기관 입소노인의 가족관계가 시설적응에 미치는 영향을 파악하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 장기요양기관을 평가등급과 지역에 따른 할당표본을 통한 표집틀을 구성하여, 2018년 1월과 2월에 한 기관 당 입소노인 5~6명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, 최종적으로 381명의 데이터를 분석에 사용하였다. 주된 연구결과는 첫째, 노인의 시설적응수준은 높은 편이었다. '집단행동부적응'과 '이동쇼크'와 같이 부적응차원은 2점대로 낮고, '새로운 거주지 인정'과 '친구 만들기'와 같은 적응차원은 중간수준 이상을 보이고 있다. 둘째, 노인의 시설적응에는 노인의 사회인구학적 특성이나 시설관련변수의 영향력보다는 가족관계변수의 영향력이 더 컸다. 그 중에서 가족과의 친밀감 변화 변수의 영향력이 가장 컸다. 따라서 노인이 시설에 입소하기 전부터 입소 후까지 전 과정에 걸쳐 가족과의 친밀감이 유지되도록 적극적인 지원과 노력이 필요하다는 점을 제안한다.
