The purpose of this study was to identify factors that have impact on taking care of dementia elderly people by careworkers. 212 careworkers participated in the survey. The data was analyzed by SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The mean score of knowledge of dementia was 16.19, and attitude was 34.42, and the level of care performance for elders with dementia was 102.18. It was shown that the more positive attitude the careworkers had, the higher level of care performance occurred(r=.41, p<.001). As a result of analyzing the main factors affecting the level of care performance for dementia elderly people, attitude toward dementia(${\beta}$=.41, p<.001) and the level of education(${\beta}$=.27, p<.001) appeared to be significant explanatory variables, and this model's explanatory power was 27%. To settle a long-term care insurance successfully, the qualifications for careworkers are needed to be reinforced, and the ways to improve a positive attitude towards dementia elderly are also required to be come up with.

치매인구의 증가와 더불어 노인 장기요양 서비스 및 이의 돌봄 주체인 요양보호사 역할에 대한 중요성은 아무리 강조해도 지나침이 없다. 본 연구는 요양보호사들의 치매노인 돌봄경험을 통해 돌봄행위 내면에 배어 있는 돌봄의 의미를 알아보고 행위수행의 촉진 및 장애요인을 파악하여 질적인 돌봄제공을 위한 가이드라인으로 삼고자 하였다. 이를 위해 질적 연구방법 중 서술묘사적 방법을 적용하여 요양보호사들의 경험을 심도 있게 파악해 보고자 하였다. 치매교육과정을 이수한 10명의 요양보호사를 대상으로 심층인터뷰 방법을 적용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 인터뷰자료는 질적내용분석 방법을 적용하여 직업선택의 기준, 역할수행위기, 그리고 역할 수행 전략 등으로 나누어 분석되었다. '넓은문', '돌봄의 상품화' 등이 직업 선택기준으로 도출되었으며, 역할수행적 측면에서는 역할위기로 '내마음의 벽', '질병의 벽', '사회적 벽'이 주제로 도출되었다. 마지막, 수행전략으로 '나는 촛불이다', '자율성과 지속성', 그리고 '사회적 효의 실천자' 등이 주제로 나타났다. 본 연구는 돌봄이 가정에서 무보수 성차적 역할로 가치폄하 되던 사회적 고정관념으로부터 사회적 효의 실천이라는 새로운 상품브랜드로 재탄생되고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the present conditions and problems of oral health care in senior citizens with dementia using a qualitative research method, through focused group interviews. Methods: Data was collected for approximately one month from May 2019. The subjects were divided into two groups: care workers and family caregivers. Fifteen participants were included in the study. Results: In-depth interviews with the care workers revealed the following three categories: characteristics of senile dementia patients, oral health care in senile dementia patients, and oral health care education. In-depth interviews with the family caregivers revealed the following four categories: characteristics of senile dementia patients, oral health care in senile dementia patients, oral health care education, and burden of care. The central themes common to both the care workers and family caregivers were the challenges owing to the characteristics of senile dementia patients, poor health condition of the senile dementia patients, difficulty in oral health care of the senile dementia patients, the desire to receive oral health care education and related information, and to access the information more easily. Additional central themes specific to the care workers were, the applicability of the intervention programs, variability between the facilities, and the problems of oral health care education. An additional central theme specific to the family caregivers was the burden of care. Conclusions: It is necessary to provide oral health care education and information to care workers and family caregivers of senile dementia patients, and to manage and support the dental health professionals ready to care for senile dementia patients. In addition, support to the family caregivers should not be limited only to the financial aspects, but also consider the psychological and emotional difficulties.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to contribute to the development of an oral hygiene care program for patients with dementia by understanding the oral care status and oral health knowledge of care workers and caregivers with regard to patients with dementia. Methods: For about two months from May to June 2018, a survey of care workers and caregivers working in long-term nursing homes and elderly-specialized nursing hospitals was performed, and 442 people were selected for the final analysis. The frequency and percentage were calculated to understand the oral care status and oral health knowledge regarding patients with dementia, and an independent t-test was conducted to determine the difference between the elderly oral health knowledge of care workers and caregivers. Multiple regression analysis was also carried out to examine factors affecting elderly oral health knowledge. Results: With respect to the factor of oral health education in elderly oral health knowledge, oral health knowledge was shown to be highest when participants responded that education was unnecessary (p<0.001), and regarding the will to participate in oral health education, oral health knowledge was highest when participants responded as having no desire to participate (p<0.05). Conclusions: These results suggest that a standard manual should be developed for the accurate and qualitative management of oral hygiene care tasks performed by care workers and caregivers who are in charge of oral care for patients with dementia in order to provide continuous and systematic oral care.

본 연구는 노인요양시설에서 노인에게 전인적 돌봄을 제공하는 요양보호사의 노인의 성에 대한 긍정적 태도와 지식을 가지고 적절하게 대응할 수 있도록 하기 위해 요양보호사를 위한 노인 성교육 프로그램을 개발하고 노인 성교육 프로그램이 요양보호사의 성에 대한 지식, 태도 및 대처에 미치는 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 노인 성교육 프로그램은 4주 프로그램으로 주 1회 120분씩 총 4회 실시하였다. 2012년 9월 10일부터 10월 10일까지 H지역의 H노인요양시설에서 요양보호사 실험군 19명과 S지역의 S노인요양시설 요양보호사 대조군 18명 총 37명을 대상으로 프로그램 실시 전 후 사전 사후조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/PC WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 실수와 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, Shapiro-Wilk test, Fisher의 정확한 검증, Paired t-test, Indepent Samples t-test, Wilcox signed rank test, Mann-Whitney test로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 성교육프로그램을 받은 요양보호사는 교육을 받지 않은 요양보호사에 비해 성교육프로그램을 적용한 후 성에 대한 지식은 증가하였으나, 태도와 대처는 유의한 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 노인요양시설 요양보호사의 개방적인 성태도와 효율적인 대처를 위해서는 대상자의 특성을 고려한 장기적이고 구체적인 교육프로그램의 개발이 필요하다고 하겠다.
