Participants were randomly sampled persons who were living in P city and simultaneously serving as home care workers at the time of the study. This research conducted a self-reported questionnaire survey of them over one month of May 2021. Of collected data, responses from 130 of the participants were finally analyzing here using SPSS and PROCESS macro model 4. As a result, it was found that home care workers' job stress had no direct effect on their service quality, but had an indirect influence on it via job satisfaction. This means that the higher those workers are in job stress, the less they are in job satisfaction, ultimately having a negative impact on their service quality. Based on these findings, this study suggested some ways to raise home care workers' service quality.

요양보호사는 치매와 같은 질병을 가진 이용자를 돌보는 과정에서 폭력, 폭언 등에 무방비로 노출되어 있으며, 실제로 장기요양기관의 요양보호사가 언어폭력이나 신체적 폭력을 경험한 것으로 나타났다(머니투데이, 2012. 07. 01, 보건복지자원연구원, 2012). 이에 본 연구는 장기요양서비스의 이용자에 의한 폭력경험이 요양보호사의 이직의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구는 290명의 요양보호사를 무작위 추출하여 최종 191부를 분석에 활용하였다. 위계적 회귀분석 실시 결과 이용자로 부터의 폭력경험이 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 요양보호사의 이직의도를 예방하는 함의를 제공하고자 한다.

Personal factors, work environmental factors, and regional factors were entered in the analytic model. Results showed that education level, license, employment status, work hours, and service types were associated with the wage of home care workers. Also, factors related to the supply and demand of long-term care (i.e., the number of long-term care facilities per 100 care workers, the number of long-term care facilities per 100 benefit recipients, the number of care workers per benefit recipients) were positively associated with the wage.

This research, with the participants of the female elderly using a home-visit bath among long-term care services, made an in-depth analysis of what they experience while getting a home-visit bath. We conducted in-depth interviews with 8 elderly people. According to the result, the female elderly experienced the absence of a caregiver, difficulty in carrying out daily life due to physical diseases, getting what they need by themselves, getting comfortable in body and mind, accepting their given situation though feeling shame at getting a bath, and expressing their desires. In addition, they had a close relationship with a care helper. On the basis of the results, a systematic training system which could intensify the professionalism of care helpers was suggested. For the enhancement of the elderly's emotional stability in a long-term care, an integrated case management system was also suggested, which supports the family by organizing an integrated network by region between a long-term care service, home-visit care service, welfare center, and the National Health Insurance Corporation.
