본 연구의 목적은 일본 개호정책 전개과정에서의 '가족개호(가족에 의한 개호제공)'에 대한 금전적 평가에 초점을 맞추어, 특히 개호보험제도의 도입이 '가족개호의 비용화'에 미친 영향을 살펴봄으로써 '가족개호'의 제도화 현상을 포착하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 '개호의 사회화' 이념을 '가족개호의 비용화'라는 분석개념으로 조작적으로 정의하고, 이 '가족개호의 비용화' 상황과 그에 대한 국가의 개입방식을 개호서비스 제공에서의 가족의 역할과 가족개호에 대한 사회적 평가의 수준, 그리고 가족개호자(여성)의 가정 내 환경 및 노동시장에서의 지위 등과의 관련 속에서 분석한다. 이러한 분석을 통하여, 본 연구에서는 일본 개호정책의 전개과정에 나타난 '가족개호의 비용화구조'를 밝힘으로써 개호보험제도 실시와 더불어 현금급여가 극히 잔여적으로 도입될 수밖에 없었던 정책적 맥락을 이해하고자 한다.

Purpose: In Japan, the Long-Term Care Insurance Act has stipulated visiting rehabilitation since 2000. This study aimed to identify the actual conditions of visiting rehabilitation in Japan through a literature review of reports published by the Japanese government. Methods: This literature review was conducted on eight articles among various government reports on the topic of the actual conditions of visiting rehabilitation. These reports were published by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan based on their own investigations or reports from an external agency entrusted with the task, and were issued between 2000 and 2021. Results: The characteristics of the visiting rehabilitation offices, their number, manpower allocation, the number of users, and their visits to each office were identified. Also, the characteristics of the users, number of users, age and required degree of long-term care, causative disease, and required medical care were identified. To evaluate the actual status of the visiting rehabilitation service, the service use time, frequency, period of use, intervention by doctors and the degree of such intervention, therapist's service content, visitors' address before the use of the service, reason, and timing of the service introduction, evaluation of the service effectiveness, combination of services and transfer destination after termination, and status after service termination were checked. Conclusion: Based on the Japanese experience where visiting rehabilitation was introduced and applied to long-term care insurance, it would be meaningful to review the factors that required benchmarking among the Japanese service models while designing a similar model in Korea.

다른 사람의 도움을 받아야 하는 노인도 적절한 재가서비스를 받으면서 가능한 오래 가정에 머물 수 있다면 그들의 삶의 질을 향상시키고 비용을 절감할 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 이 연구는 노인장기요양보험제도를 시행한 후, 재가서비스 이용자가 시설서비스로 전환하여 입소하는 것에 대한 결정요인을 살펴보고자 한 종적 연구이다. 이 연구는 장기요양급여 이용자와 주수발자를 대상으로 한 '2009년 노인장기요양서비스 만족도 조사' 자료를 활용하였다. 이 연구의 분석대상자는 총 1,230명으로, 이들은 시도별, 장기요양등급별, 의료보장형태별로 비례할당으로 추출된 것이다. 종속변수는 연구대상자가 재가서비스를 이용하다가 시설로 입소하는 데까지 걸린 시간이고, 이것은 노인장기요양급여DB를 연계하여 파악하였다. 또한 이 연구는 Cox Proportional Hazard Model을 이용하여 hazard ratio를 산출하였다. 연구결과에 의하면, 다른 변수들을 보정한 후에도 이용자가 골절을 앓고 있는 경우에는 시설에 입소할 확률이 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았지만 저하된 인지기능의 항목수가 많을수록 시설에 입소할 확률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 영향요인들을 감안하여 향후에는 이용자의 욕구를 충족시키는 재가서비스 이용체계를 구축하고 보완하는 정책개발이 필요하다.

Background: There have been deviations in the regional rate of certification in Korean long-term care insurance (LTCI). This study aimed to explore the determinants of the rate of certification in LTCI. Methods: The panel data of the year 2010-2014 of the 227 National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) regional office were used. Making use of 26 explanatory variables (socio-demographic factors, access to the long-term care services, etc.), we estimated the random effects model using STATA SE ver. 13.0 program (Stata Corp., College Station, TX, USA) and tried to find out the determinants of the regional rate of certification. Results: Estimation results showed that the most important determinants of the regional rate of certification in LTCI are the long-term care infrastructure such as capacity or number of the homecare service institution, sanatorium, or convalescent hospital. The number of the elderly who lives alone and the dimentia patients were positively related to the regional rate of certification in LTCI. Conclusion: The estimation results implied that the regional variation in the rate of certification in LTCI has nothing to do with the NHIS regional offices or their employees. To alleviate the deviation in the regional rate of certification in LTCI, we suggested the analysis of the deviation in the survey checklist. We also proposed to found the regional comprehensive support center to prevent the geriatric illness and to improve the residents' health, etc.

Background: In Korea, the length of stay and medical expenses incurred by medical aid patients are increasing at a rate faster than the national health insurance. Therefore, there is a need to create a management strategy for each type of hospitalization to manage the length of stay of medical aid patients. Methods: The study used data from the 2019 National Health Insurance Claims. We analyzed the factors that affect the length of stay for 186,576 medical aid patients who were hospitalized for more than 31 days, with a focus on the type of hospitalization in long-term care hospitals. Results: The study found a significant correlation between gender, age, medical aid type, chronic disease ratio, long-term care hospital patient classification, and hospitalization type variables as factors that affect the length of hospital stay. The analysis of the differences in the length of stay for each type of hospitalization showed that the average length of stay is 291.4 days for type 1, 192.9 days for type 2, and 157.0 days for type 3, and that the difference is significant (p<0.0001). When type 3 was 0, type 1 significantly increased by 99.4 days, and type 2 by 36.6 days (p<0.0001). Conclusion: A model that can comprehensively view factors, such as provider factors and institutional factors, needs to be designed. In addition, to reduce long stays for medical aid patients, a mechanism to establish an early discharge plan should be prepared and concerns about underutilization should be simultaneously addressed.

고령인구가 증가함에 따라 국가차원에서 노인의 건강노화 실현을 위한 장기요양 필요 발생의 예방 방안을 마련하는 것은 매우 중요하며, 정책적 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 적절한 대상자의 선정이 선행되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 국민건강보험공단의 국민건강정보를 활용하여, 장기요양 필요를 야기하는 기능장애 발생 가능성이 높은 대상자를 발굴하기 위한 예측모형을 개발하고자 한다. 본 연구는 연구대상자의 과거 수집된 자료를 활용하는 후향적 연구로, 본 연구의 연구대상자는 만 65세 이상 의료보장등록인구이다(총 7,724,101명). 예측모형 개발을 위해 고유 방법인 로지스틱 회귀모형, 머신러닝 방법인 의사결정나무와 랜덤포레스트, 딥러닝 방법인 다층퍼셉트론 신경망을 분석하였다. 체계적 분석절차를 통해 각 분석방법별 모형을 적합하였고, 내적 타당성 및 외적 타당성 평가 결과를 기반으로 최종 예측모형을 랜덤포레스트로 선정하였다. 랜덤포레스트는 모집단에서의 4.50%밖에 되지 않는 장기요양 필요 대상자의 약 90%를 장기요양 필요 발생 고위험 대상자로 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구의 예측모형 및 고위험군 기준은 노인의 욕구 중심에서 예방 서비스가 필요한 대상자를 선제적으로 발굴하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
