치매노인을 부양하는 배우자와 성인자녀가 접하는 어려움이 다름에도 불구하고, 선행 연구들은 이들을 한 집단으로 묶어 요양시설로의 입소에 미치는 요소를 분석하였다. 미국 뉴저지(New Jersey)와 오하이오(Ohio)주에 거주하는 치매 노인 부양자 456명을 대상으로 사건사 분석(Event History Analysis)을 실시한 결과, 배우자 부양자가 성인자녀 부양자에 비해 치매노인을 더 빨리 요양시설로 보내는 경향을 보여주었다. 치매노인의 연령과 역할 구속감(Role Captivity)은 두 집단 모두에게 유의미한 변수였는데, 치매노인의 연령과 부양자의 역할 구속감(Role Captivity)이 높을수록 요양시설로의 입소가 빨라지는 경향을 보였다. 교육수준과 소득은 성인자녀 부양자에게만 유의미한 변수로, 교육수준이 높을수록 시설로의 입소가 지연되었던 반면, 소득이 높을수록 시설로의 입소는 빨라지는 경향을 보였다. 한편 탁노소(Adult Day Care) 이용과 피부양자의 문제행동(Behavioral Problems)은 배우자 부양자에게만 유의미한 변수였으며, 탁노소를 이용할 경우와 피부양자의 문제행동이 증가할수록 요양시설로의 입소가 빨라지는 경향을 보였다.

The principal objective of this study was to analyze and conceptualize the socio-psychological burden in utilizing a nursing home for elderly. The subjects were five elderly from a private nursing home located in Seoul and their familial caregivers. An old male and three females were currently staying at the facility, and a female had been discharged already from there. Data were collected through depth interviews, observations and review of records at the facility For analysis, the data were classified by similar contents among significant expressions and factors in common. The subjects' motives to consider admission to the nursing home might be attributed to familial caregivers' burden, a shortage of support, environmental improvement and feeling of helplessness for the case elderly. The concept of burden is including family members' being badly off in living, their weariness, complications among family members, feeling psychological uneasiness, and hospital expenses. The identified image of nursing homes for the elderly in Korea was generally negative at the point of high cost, unreasonable requisites and limitations for admission to the facilities, inferior situations, and especially in that there were few long-term care facilities within the community boundary. From their experience of nursing homes, the interviewees have felt the sentiments of sorry for their old parents, with the thought of being an undutiful, bitterness, and empathy. Additionally, they expressed a sense of anxiety of relative deprivation against the fact that there were no long-term care facilities available for the middle class. On the basis of these, multi-dimensional needs could be identified for the elderly with chronic illnesses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the levels of burden, family resilience and adaptation of caregivers of elderly patients with dementia, and further to identify factors influencing their adaptation. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed. Data were collected from questionnaires distributed to 131 family caregivers of elderly patients who visited at the Centers for Dementia in Seoul during 2012~2013. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The average age of the care giving subjects was 63.58, and 31.3% were male, and 41.2% were the spouses. Statistically significant relationships were found between burden and adaptation (r=-.38, p<.001), and between family resilience and adaptation (r=.52, p<.001), and between burden and family resilience (r=-.35, p=.001). Thirty percent of adaptation was explained by burden and family resilience. The most influencing factor to adaptation was family resilience which explained about 27% of the variance. Conclusion: The results of the study clearly indicate that family resilience explains better than burden on adaptation of family caregivers. Thus, to develop more effective nursing intervention for family caregivers of elderly patients with dementia, it would be necessary to integrate family resilience in the programs. 27% is not that much and I wonder if we have to do more work to identify the factors that influence care giving.
