Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the social welfare service delivery system of Namyangju City on the satisfaction degree of the elderly with welfare services and on their quality of life. This study conducted a survey of the elderly aged 65 and over who were either service users or nonusers of the public-private partnership welfare service delivery system called Hope Care Center. A total of 324 copies including 205 copies of Hope Care Center users and 119 copies of nonusers were analyzed. The analysis shows that the four key elements of welfare service delivery system are statistically significant to the service users of Hope Care Center than the nonusers with the users' higher level of satisfaction with the services. However, in terms of quality of life, there was no meaningful distinction between the two groups. This indicates that services of Hope Care Center increased the satisfaction with welfare services, thereby improving users' quality of life to the level of nonusers. Further studies for the same subjects are expected to be deeper if they compare and analyze the before and after of using Hope Care Center with more comprehensive independent variables.

본 연구는 기초지방자치단체의 공공-민간협력사회복지서비스 전달체계가 노인들에 대한 서비스만족도와 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 경기도 남양주시에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인 중 민 관 복지시스템인 '희망케어센터' 이용자와 미이용자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, '희망케어센터' 이용자 205부, 미이용자 119부 총 324부의 자료를 분석하였다. '희망케어센터' 이용자 그룹과 미 이용자 그룹간의 차이분석 결과 이용자의 복지전달체계 원칙에 대한 인식도의 평균이 미 이용자보다 크게 나타났다. 서비스 만족도 역시 이용자가 미이용자보다 유의적으로 평균이 크게 나타났다. 다만, 삶의 질은 두 집단 간 통계적으로 유의적인 차이가 없는 것으로 나타난 것은 기존의 사회적 취약계층인 '희망케어센터' 이용자들의 낮은 삶의 질이 '희망케어센터' 서비스를 제공받음으로써 간접적 영향을 받아 미이용자들의 수준까지 향상되었다는 기존연구를 뒷받침해준다. 본 연구는 법과 제도적으로 지원이 어려운 대상자를 지원하는 '희망케어센터'의 효과성을 분석하기 위한 연구로 향후 지방자치단체의 복지정책 수립 및 복지전달체계 개선방안을 모색하는데 그 의미가 있다할 것이며, 향후 연구에서는 독립변수의 변인을 좀 더 다양화하여 동일 대상자의 '희망케어센터' 이용 전 후를 비교 분석한다면 보다 심층적인 연구가 될 것으로 사료된다.
