Korea, which became an aging society in 2000, has made transition to an aged society more quickly than expected since late 2017 after 17 years. Despite this trend, the awareness towards elderly housing facilities has not yet been raised across in society. The primary reason is that use of elderly housing facilities has not been promoted due to lack of understanding about the construction and management of the facilities. The housing of the elderly should be considered in terms of not only residential space but also the issues of medical care and continuous care. Therefore, the trend of elderly housing is pursuing the Continuing Care Retirement Community.

이 연구는 노인의료복지시설 소속 요양보호사들을 대상으로 자기효능감과 직무만족에 대한 요양보호사들의 주관적 인식의 차이를 분석해 보고자 하였다. 분석결과 요양보호사들이 근무하는 노인의료복지시설 유형에 따른 인식의 차이는 없었지만 전체적으로 요양보호사들의 자기효능감과 직무만족의 충족이 노인의료서비스 제공에 있어서 중요하다는 것을 강조하였다. 따라서 노인의료복지시설 소속 요양보호사들이 노인들에게 의료서비스 등을 제공함에 있어서 직무만족과 동시에 지속적으로 높은 수준의 자기효능감을 유지할 수 있도록 하는 인적자원관리전략이 필요함을 시사하였다는데 그 의의가 있다.
