Abstract

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effectiveness of the evaluation of long-term care insurance visiting care service institutions for the elderly from the user's point of view. To this end, data from a survey of 266 users collected through allocation sampling by region(14 cities and counties) in Jeollabuk-do and public data from 47 institutions were combined and analyzed using a multi-layered model. The main research results are as follows. First, among the five evaluation areas, the higher the score in the 'Rights·Responsibility' area, which is to give users a sense of rights and respect users, the higher the service quality and satisfaction. Second, among the five evaluation areas, the 'Rights·Responsibility' area had an effect on loyalty. In addition, it was found that the 'Outcome' area for satisfaction with institutions and employees and changes in users had an effect on loyalty. Third, it was found that 'Institutional Management', 'Environment·Safety', 'Process' did not affect service quality, satisfaction, and loyalty. Based on these results, it is proposed to reorganize the evaluation scale that users can recognize and that is faithful to the purpose.

본 연구의 목적은 이용자의 관점에서 노인장기요양보험 방문요양서비스 기관 평가의 효과성을 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해, 전라북도 내 지역별(14개 시·군) 할당표집을 통해 수집한 이용자(266명) 설문자료와 기관(47개) 자료를 결합하여 다층모형으로 분석하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 5개 평가영역 중 이용자에게 권리의식을 갖게하고, 이용자를 존중하는지에 대한 '권리·책임' 영역의 점수가 높을수록 서비스 품질과 만족도도 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 5개 평가영역 중 '권리·책임' 영역과 '급여제공결과' 영역이 충성도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, '기관운영', '환경·안전', '급여제공과정' 영역은 서비스 품질, 만족도, 충성도에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 형식적이고 정량적인 평가지표보다는 이용자가 인식할 수 있고, 방문요양서비스의 기본 목적에 충실한 내용으로 평가지표를 재구성할 것 등을 제안하였다.
