Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of job stress, depression and fatigue on sleep quality of care workers employed in long-term care facilities. Methods: The participants were 213 care workers who worked in 11 long-term care facilities. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression with using the SPSS 23.0 program. Results: We found that patient-related job stress was the greatest stressor among care workers' job stresses. A significant difference in sleep quality was observed according to the self-perceived health status of the care workers. The care workers' sleep quality was negatively correlated with job stress (r=-.16, p=.018), depression (r=-.31, p<.001) and fatigue (r=-.29, p<.001). The influencing factors of sleep quality were depression (${\beta}=-0.22$, p=.001) and fatigue (${\beta}=-0.15$, p=.047). Conclusion: It is necessary to improve the health status and sleep quality of care workers by developing and applying health promotion programs to reduce the depression and fatigue of the care worker. This will ultimately improve the quality of service care for the patients.

In order to develop some indicies for the evaluation of village health worker's activities and to find out personal characteristics and other factors that affect the activities, an interview survey was conducted to thirty seven village health workers (VHW) in Sunwon, Naega and Bulun townships in Kangwha county, where the Community Health Project of Yonsei University, College of Medicine, has been implemented for the past ten years. In addition, daily activity records of the VHW's were also analyzed. The results are summarized below: First, meeting attendance rates, number of regular family visits, number of antenatal care visits and number of family planning visits were identified as the most meaningful criterion for the evaluation of the village health worker's activities. Second, personal factors that significantly affect the village health worker's activities were identified as age, educational background, living with in-laws, religion, presence of preschool child in the family, holding leader's position of village woman's association concurrently, and duration serving as a VHW. The more aged and the more educated VHWs were the more effective. Those VHWs who were living with in-laws, without preschool child in the family, holding the leader's position of the village woman's association, and the longer service duration were the more effective. Other factors that affect the VHW's activities were the number of households in the target village and the number of natural villages in the target villages. It showed that the smaller the size of number of households and natural villages, the higher the degrees of the effectiveness of the VHW.

Purpose: This descriptive research study aimed to identify the effect of the health literacy and self-efficacy on the quality of care service of home visitor care workers. Methods: The participants were 124 home visitor care workers who had worked for more than six months at one of the five home-based welfare centers located in D metropolitan city. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis using the SPSS program. Results: The quality of care service differed significantly by age (F=-1.03, p<.001), career (F=5.09, p=.002), and education status (F=9.57, p<.001). A statistically significant positive relationship was observed between the quality of care service and self-efficacy (r=.63, p<.001). A total of 55.3% of the variance of quality of care service was explained by age and self-efficacy. Conclusion: Based on the results, it is necessary to develop and prepare programs that can increase the self-efficacy of home visitor care workers through a nursing approach to improve the quality of life of elderly.

This study examined the effect of the distance Infection Control Education Program (ICEP), developed based on the ADDIE model, on infection control knowledge, attitude, and performance among care workers in long-term care facilities nationwide. The program, developed based on the ADDIE model, was applied to 173 care workers directly responsible for nursing care of elderly residents in lomg-term care facilities. The distance ICEP for care workers was conducted through the website and lasted 30 minutes for each of the eight topics. To determine the effectiveness of the education, infection control knowledge, attitude, performance, and satisfaction were surveyed before and four weeks after the program. Differences in infection control knowledge, attitude, and performance before and after the distance ICEP were assessed by a t-test. A significant difference was observed in knowledge and infection control performance after the distance ICEP was administered to care workers. In the sub-domains of infection control performance, overall understanding of infection, regular infection control education, infection control by special pathogen (multidrug-resistant bacteria, tuberculosis, tick-borne infectious diseases), and detailed infection control education by infection site (pressure ulcers and urinary tract infections) were significantly improved. Infection control knowledge and performance improved through the distance ICEP applied to care workers. Satisfaction also displayed high scores on most items and indicated that it was helpful for infection control in facilities, confirming the effectiveness of infection control education. Based on the survey of care workers nationwide, the infection education program can be effectively used for care workers in the future.

본 연구는 요양보호사의 조직특성 직무태도 등에 따라 수급자인 노인들이 인식하게 되는 만족정도는 달라지게 되며, 이들의 직무스트레스를 줄여야 할 필요성이 있음에 따라 요양보호사들이 인식하는 직무스트레스 수준에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이에 서울지역 방문요양센터에 소속되어 근무하는 요양보호사들을 대상으로 업무자율성, 보상, 교육과 개발, 구성원 상호관계 등의 하위요인으로 구성된 조직특성 요인이 직무스트레스의 인식수준에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하였다. 분석결과 방문요양센터에 소속되어 근무하는 요양보호사는 근무시간이 짧을수록, 월급여가 많을수록, 업무자율성이 보장될수록, 구성원들과의 상호관계성이 좋을수록 직무스트레스에 대한 인식은 긍정적으로 하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 방문요양센터 운영자들은 요양보호사들의 근무조건인 1일 근무시간과 급여수준에 대한 개선 뿐만 아니라 직장에서의 구성원 상호간의 유대감을 증진시킬 수 있는 다양한 형태의 개선 방안에 대해 보다 많은 관심을 가져야 하며, 통제와 규제보다는 요양보호사들이 업무에 대해 책임을 갖고 자유롭게 수행할 수 있도록 조직환경을 개선해야 할 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 요양보호사의 인간중심케어와 직무만족, 감정노동, 서비스 질 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구대상 및 조사방법은 전국의 장기요양시설에 근무하는 요양보호사 460명을 대상으로 자기 기입식 설문지를 활용하였다. 연구모형에서 독립변수는 인간중심케어, 매개변수는 직무관련 감정노동(표면행위, 내면행위)과 직무만족, 종속변수는 서비스질로 구성하였다. 모형의 적합성과 서비스 질에 영향을 미치는 각 요인들의 직접효과 및 간접효과를 검증한 결과 모형의 적합도는 적합한 수준이었고, 감정노동 중 내면행위가 서비스 질에 영향을 미치는 중요한 변수임을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 감정노동은 인간중심케어의 가치와 서비스 질에 매우 큰 영향을 미치고 있어 중요한 매개변인 역할을 한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 인간중심케어가 감정노동을 매개로 하여 서비스 질에 영향을 미치는 총 효과는 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타났고, 내면행위와 서비스질의 관계는 정(+)적 상관관계를 보인 반면, 표면행위와 서비스질의 관계는 부(-)적 상관관계를 갖고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 위의 연구 결과를 토대로 인간중심케어에 있어서 요양보호사들의 감정노동과 서비스 질에 대한 임상적, 학문적 관심을 환기시킬 필요가 있음을 제안하였다.

Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacon is an actively push-to-broadcast electronic signal and can be used for object identification. This paper uses such beacon-based identification and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for the elder health management service system to simplify the user interfaces and steps for preventive elder care. In the proposed system, an elder's family member, caregiver, or medical worker can conveniently and quickly record daily health management information. Besides, through the statistics and analysis of the data on the back end of the system, it is helpful for the elderly to refer to the data of daily care management and future management trends. Similarly, it is also an essential reference data for system maintenance and the new preventive health care services development.
