우리나라에서 소위 노인문제가 제기되기 시작한 것도 꽤 오래 되었다. 현대판 고려장이니 노후대책의 필요성, 핵가족화에 따른 노인소외 등의 문제가 수없이 제기되어 왔지만, 이에 대해 이렇다 할 구체적 대책은 아직까지도 마련되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 그렇다고 해서 노인을 양로원에 보낸다는 것은 유교사상이 잔존하는 우리의 정서가 허락하지를 않고...... 그러나 이처럼 지키지도 못할 도덕적 양심에 몰릴 것이 아니라 이제는 정말 보다 편안한 노후를 위한 대책이 사회적 · 국가적 측면에서 해결되어져야 할 시점에 왔다. 이런 면에서 이번호에 소개하는 유당마을과 같은 유료양로원은, 앞으로 우리나라 노인문제 해결의 한 방법이 될 수 있을 것 같다.

This study has been performed to explore conveniences and inconveniences of daily lives in rural residential care facilities among the elderly residents. In this study, five males and seven females aged 68 to 78 were asked about socio-familial and physical aspects of their daily lives in the facilities such as meals, social activities, family visits, recreation, and health care. The answers of the qualitative interview were drawn as follow; first, the residents perceived well planned regular meals and snacks, free visits of friends, regularly supervised daily sanitary activities, periodic outdoor activities, education programs provided by religious experts, and pastoral farming lives as most convenient aspects of the retirement facilities. In addition, some felt that facility life made them free of familial conflicts, while others appealed fear of being forgotten because of distant location. On the other hand, they perceived the supervised group activities and meals as major inconveniences. They also felt persistently depressed when closely observing serious illness or deaths of their co-residents. Therefore in this study, suggestions were made as follows: first, combination of normal family life and retirement facility should be developed in the mixed form of community welfare center and shared home. Second, intensive medical care facilities should be in collaboration with the retirement facilities, so that the residents are relieved from stressful contacts with extremely ill patients in the residential area.
