Purpose: This study was intended to gain an in-depth understanding of and explored the experiences and meanings of participating in care services among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A focus group interview approach was adopted. Twenty older adults were interviewed from November to December 2021 using semi-structured interview questions. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Three main themes and seven sub-themes emerged for the elderly people living alone. One main theme was "ambivalence of elderly care services," the second was "desperate need for care services," and the third was "positive changes and expectations experienced with care services." For the elderly people living with their families, two main themes and four sub-themes were identified. One main theme was "care services met within the family system," the second was "needs for care services outside the family system." Conclusion: We aim to provide a basis for strengthening the quality of elderly community care services in the mid- to long-term and establish a system of close linkages between necessary services by understanding the needs of elderly people who live alone or with their families.

This study attempts to provide implications for developing more efficient and effective community-based support system with AIP perspective for the elderly in Korea. The main purpose of this study is to analyze Japan's community-based integrated care system that respond to the concept of aging in place (AIP) and its cases. In Japan, they have offered Community-Based Service since 2005, and the advanced system which include integrated support categories and consolidated community/local resources will started in 2015 by The revision of Long-term Care Insurance policy, 2012. The result of policy analysis and case studies are as follows: 1) The suggestion for ideal support system model promoted a relationship of multiple agents include private sectors even resident and senior and specified responsibility sharing, 2) the system proposed Not only health and medical care support, living care and residence are also addressed as a comprehensive support. and 3) the amount of available community resource is different by each local government, but the effort to get the understanding of community residents and to connect with a potential community resource is also essential aspect to set effective community-based support system.

우리나라 인구의 빠른 고령화와 일상생활이 어려운 노인들이 증가하여 사회적 연대를 위한 노인장기요양 제도가 실시되었다. 제도 도입 후 나타난 장기요양제도의 구조적 문제 해결을 요구하고 있으며 기관 및 급여유형별로 통합된 요양서비스 제공체계, 노인의료-요양의 연속성 부족에 따른 요양병원-시설 간 기능정립 문제 등도 제기되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 입소정원, 종사인력, 제공서비스와 관련한 연구문제를 설정하였으며 FGI를 실시하였다. 연구결과 지역 내 노인 인구와 인정자 수, 노인성 질환자수 등 장기요양 수요를 반영, 지역별 적정 기관 및 인력 수급 정책 방향 제시하고, 지자체별 목표와 수급계획을 수립하여, 장기요양기관 지정요건 절차 강화 및 지정 갱신제 등 인증제도 도입이 검토되어야 하며, 남성요양보호사 육성 및 수가 인상 등을 통한 종사자 처우개선을 통하여 원활한 인력수급이 필요하다고 보았다. 급식비의 보험적용과 유관기관과의 연계를 통한 프로그램 확대제공, 원활한 입소관리를 위한 의료외 사고 중재기구가 필요하다고 나타났다.

Background: This study aimed to identify patterns of elderly patients who transferred from long-term care hospitals to emergency rooms and provide the evidence of emergency medical systems to prepare for a super-aged society. Methods: The data source was the National Emergency Department Information System database from January 2014 to December 2019 in Korea. We performed a cross-sectional study among elderly patients (≥65 years) who transferred from a long-term care hospital to an emergency room. Trend analysis was conducted by year. Results: We identified 225,765 elderly patients who were transferred from long-term care hospitals to emergency rooms between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019. The proportion of the study population and their mean age were recently increased (p<0.001, respectively). The proportion of elderly patients being re-transferred (p=0.049) and the patients re-transferred to long-term care hospitals is significantly increased (p=0.005). Conclusion: The establishment of efficient emergency medical services for an aging society is important. It is necessary to develop a healthcare network with the government, long-term care hospitals, and medical institutions in the community suitable for preventing disease deterioration.

전통적으로 아동과 노인의 돌봄은 가족의 책임으로 여겨지고 관행적으로 실천되어 왔다. 한국정부는 가족에 의해서 돌봄을 받지 못하는 아동과 노인에 국한된 잔여적 제도를 구축해 왔다. 그러나 21세기에 들어서 고령화, 저출산, 여성의 노동시장 참여 증가, 가족의 형성과 해체의 변화, 가족 내의 돌봄 제공에 대한 인식 변화 등의 사회적 변인들은 돌봄 제공에 있어서 국가의 개입의 필요성 형성의 주요한 요인들로 작용해왔다. 이 논문은 유엔사회개발연구소의 돌봄의 정치사회경제학 연구에서 개발된 케어 다이아몬드 개념을 적용하여 한국의 사회적 돌봄 정책 발전을 국가, 시장, 가족, 제3의 부문 간의 제도적 분배의 변화를 분석하고자 한다. 분석 결과, 아동 돌봄의 경우, 정부와 시장의 역할이 증대된 반면, 제3의 부문의 역할은 줄었다. 노인 돌봄의 경우, 정부, 시장, 제3의 부문의 개입의 성장을 보였다. 그러나 한국의 가족 중심의, 특히 여성에 의한, 돌봄 제공 원칙은 변화하지 않았다.

현재 다양한 정보통신기술들이 독거노인 돌봄과 치매노인 실종방지 등에서 폭넓게 활용되고 있으며, 향후 커뮤니티케어 정책을 통해 인공지능과 로봇활용 비대면 돌봄은 향후 더욱 다양한 영역에서 활용될 전망이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 4차 산업혁명에 관한 정부정책 방향에 기반하여 커뮤니티케어에 활용도가 점차 증가하고 있는 인공지능 기술 기반 돌봄서비스 현황과 활용 및 활성화 전망을 모색해보고자 하였다. 커뮤니티케어에 활용될 수 있는 서비스인 AI 스피커와 돌봄로봇은 노인층이 경험하고 있는 다양한 문제를 해결하는데 도움이 되며, 감성적인 기능을 추가하여 대화 부족이나 외로움을 해소하는데도 활용하고 있다. 향후 AI 기술을 활용한 커뮤니티케어 활성화를 위해서는 첫째, 커뮤니티케어 고령자의 AI기기 친밀화를 위한 지속적인 교육과 고령층을 위한 '사용자 경험(User Experience, UX) 디자인'이 필요하며, 둘째, 기능위주의 기술 활용보다는 상호보완적 관계를 가지고 감성적인 상호관계가 가능한 인간중심의 기술 활용이 필요하며. 셋째, 사용자의 자기결정권 보장, 사생활 보호 등의 윤리적 문제를 해결할 필요가 있다.

Objectives: This study aims to develop a community care model in traditional Korean medicine (TKM) by developing a community care participation model for the health of the elderly and deriving tasks to implement it. Methods: This study implemented a group interview with experts. A fact-finding survey was conducted targeting 16 local governments that are implementing a leading project to identify the status of TKM service provision and welfare service linkage in all regions. An expert group interview (FGI) targeted public and private sector experts for each job role, the former represented by those in charge of the central government's health care policy and administrative delivery system, and the latter by professors majoring in social welfare, professors majoring in health, and local TKM societies. After forming the expert groups, three expert group interviews were conducted. Results: Through collective interviews with experts, a model for providing TKM and welfare services in community integrated care was derived by dividing it into local and central government levels. The strategies and tasks for promoting TKM-oriented health welfare services were derived from 3 strategies, 8 tasks, and 20 detailed tasks. Conclusion: The core direction of the TKM health care model is the region-centered provision of TKM and welfare services. To this end, policy support for the use and linkage of health care service resources is required at the central government level, and linkage and provision of health welfare services centered on TKM are necessary through linkage and convergence between service subjects and between government health care projects.

Suicide is a major problem in Korean health care and a serious social problem. In Korea, 12,463 people (24.3 per 100,000) lost their lives due to suicide in 2017. Although the government has established three National Comprehensive Plan of Suicide Prevention (2004, 2009, 2016), and National Action Plan of Suicide Prevention (2018), the suicide rate is still high. The suicide rate of the elderly is especially high. This is due to the economic vulnerability of the elderly in Korea. Therefore, in order to prevent suicide in Korea, mental health care approach and social welfare approach should be integrated. The intervention of preventing suicide of suicide attempters should include social welfare services as well as mental health program and should be based on community. There are many health problems, including prevention of suicide, which can not be solved only by the efforts of health care. Many health problems are social problems and the integrated approach is needed to solve them. In order to solve many health care problems and improve health, integrated approach of health, social science, and humanities is needed.
