Purpose: To identify the relationship between care worker's awareness of human rights and the compliance of caring behaviors among long-term care workers, and to identify factors affecting compliance with caring behaviors. Methods: Using self-report questionnaires, data were collected from 153 long-term care workers between October 4th and October 20th, 2019. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. Results: The data indicate a difference in awareness of human rights according to: the careers of care workers, the possession of other health care-related licenses, and the perceived needs of human rights education. The data also indicate a difference in the compliance of caring behaviors according to: gender, family care experience, and dementia care experience. The factors influencing compliance of caring behaviors, according to the study, are gender (β=.19, p=.009), family care experience (β=.19, p=.023), and human rights (β=.38, p<.001). It was found that 23% could explain the compliance of caring behaviors. Conclusion: Long term care workers were found to have a higher level of the compliance of caring behaviors as their awareness of human rights increased. In order to increase the compliance of caring behaviors among long-term care workers, more educational programs on human rights should be provided.

고령화사회에 진입한 한국사회에서 나이 들어가는 여성의 삶, 나이 든 여성들의 삶을 여성의 눈으로 들여다보는 것은 여성 관객으로서의 노년층을 호명하는 의미가 있다고 본다. 서울국제여성영화제에서 상영한 <할머니와 란제리>(2006), 그리고 이번에 한국에서 <소중한 사람>이라는 제목으로 개봉한 <오리우매>(2002)를 통해 각각의 영화가 '나이듦'을 이해하고 나이든 여성을 재현하는 방식을 살펴보고자 한다. <할머니와 란제리>는 바느질 솜씨를 살려 란제리 가게를 열기까지 마르타 할머니가 가족과 친구, 그리고 마을사람들과 벌이는 유쾌한 소동을 그렸다. <오리우매>는 시어머니와 며느리를 중심으로 치매라는 질병에 대한 사회의 편견과 잔인함, 그리고 '돌봄노동'의 의미를 성찰하는 작품이다. 스위스에서 만들어진 <할머니와 란제리>와 일본에서 만들어진 <오리우매>는 제작된 지역이 다름에도 불구하고 여성들끼리의 연대와 '늦었고 꺽어졌더라도 다시 피는 꽃'이라는 주제를 담아서 한 개인이 전 생애를 통해 한번 이상 새로운 주체로 다시 살 수 있는 사회에 대한 희망을 갖게 만든 것이 의미심장하다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of telephonic counseling on burnout, depression, life satisfaction, and perceived physical health among family caregivers of older adults with dementia. Method: Subjects were randomly assigned into telephonic counseling group (n=21) and the comparison group (n=32). A weekly telephone counseling was conducted by research assistants for 12 weeks. T-test were used to answer the research questions. Result: 1) There were no significant differences between the two groups on the level of burnout, depression, life satisfaction, and perceived physical health after telephone counseling. 2) Spouse caregivers under the telephone counseling tended to report higher perceived physical health than comparison group at the post-test (t=-1.88, p=.08). Spouse caregivers under the telephone counseling tended to report higher emotional exhaustion and lower feeling of self achievement. 3) Daughter-in-law caregivers under telephone counseling showed increased feeling of self achievement, improved physical health condition, and decreased depression. Conclusion: This study showed potential effects of the problem-solving telephone counseling to improve perceived physical health and to reduce the level of burnout and depression. The findings suggest the necessity of screening most vulnerable subgroups of caregivers to increase the effectiveness of nursing intervention such as telephone counseling.

This paper outlines an intervention protocol used to educate nurses in a project that implemented and evaluated a delirium educational program in one general hospital. It outlines an evaluation of the content of the education and processes used to deliver the intervention through an analysis of reflective notes. The educational protocol was designed for adult learners and grounded in the six assumptions of Knowles' learning theory. Results suggest the educational program positively impacted on participating nurses' knowledge, attitudes and family caregiver involvement in delirium care of hospitalized older adults with and without dementia. This paper also acknowledges the challenges involved in sustaining a practice change through an educational intervention.

The purpose of this study was diagnosed to grasp the needs for the elderly-elderly care activity in rural areas. The research was conducted in questions and case studies in 7 farming villages. The major findings of this study as follows: First, the senior citizens in rural areas were not in good health, and the illnesses were revealed to be arthritis, high blood pressure, and diabetes. At the occurrence of an illness, they complained about the discomfort in doing daily life routines and expected eir spouses or offsprings to te care of them. Elders in the rural community responded that they had difficulty and financial problems in family maintenance. Leisure activities included watching TV, playing card/board games, or spending time without any specific activities. Second, recipients of elderly-elderly care expected to receive services from a woman in her 50s $1{\sim}2$ hours, once to twice a week. Third, the service providers wanted to be elderly-elderly care takers, hoping to work once a week for $2{\sim}3$ hours. They wanted the education for the elderly-elderly care to be once a week for 3 hours, with understanding the elderly, consultation, preventing senile dementia, and health as the contents.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the functional status of low income elderly living at home according to their socio-economic factors, sensory function, health status, medical service utilization, commodity and types of chronic disease. Method: Functional status was defined by the level of mobility, ADL and IADL categorized as independently functional, mildly impaired, moderately disabled, and severely disabled. The data was collected by home-visit interviews with 567 community dwelling adults who were 65 years of age or more with low a income status subsidized by government in ChonAn. Results: 9.9% of community dwelling older adults were severely disabled, and 44.4% were moderately disabled in their functional status. There were significant differences in the functional status by age, education, religion, and types of family structure. The older adults with hearing impairment or dental problems had a significantly higher rate of severe disability. Self-rated health status and medical service utilization were also significant factors to the differences in functional status. The functional status of older adults was also significantly related to the presence of chronic health problems such as chronic back pain, stroke, and Alzheimer-dementia. Conclusion: The results confirmed that community dwelling older adults with low income status were more functionally disabled in comparison to general older adults at national level, while the relating factors to their functional status seemed similar to other studies on older adults. Further studies were suggested to look into functional status longitudinally and focus on the changes of functional status by managing modifiable influencing factors.

This paper reviews researches related with the elderly caregiving, which hale published during the 1990s. After analyzingthe 29 articles in this field, the major findings are as follows: First, the advantageous position in life chances which is consisted of socioeconomic status and resources tends to reduce th burden for the elderly care. The higher in social status, the more resources older adults have, the more advantageous in controlling their relationship with their children and caregivers. Second, values based on familism is more associated with providing caregiving services for their parents than those of filial piety. Third, the tendency that daughter-in-law takes the role of the primary caregiver suggests a possibility of diminishing her enthusiasm, and finally comes to recognize her role as an enforced one, as time goes by. Fourth, cargiving burden affects the diverse aspects of caregiver's way of life. When the lower class elderly has dementia, caregiving stress and hassle have reached at their peak level. For meeting the needs of reducing the burden for the elderly care, this study suggests community- based approach for the elderly care. This approach attempts to share the caregiving burden with local community. To share the burden means that the boundaries of caregivers does not limit family members, but to expand community. This attempt includes a plan that establishes multipurpose community center which provides comprehensive services and care for the aged. The theoretical rationale of this approach are also discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 요양병원에 입원한 알츠하이머 치매환자의 재원기간에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하는 것이다. 분석 자료는 건강보험심사평가원의 2009년 환자표본데이터를 사용하여 추출하였고, 요양병원에 입원한 65세 이상의 노인이면서 알츠하이머 치매로 입원한 178개 병원의 총 538명을 분석에 이용되었다. 요인은 환자 측 변수와 요양병원의 구조특성변수이며, 환자특성변수는 성별, 연령, 중증도를 사용하였고, 중증도는 요양병원 수가처치 코드를 이용하여 5개의 그룹(의료고도, 의료중도, 문제행동군, 인지장애군, 의료경도)으로 분류하였다. 구조특성변수는 병상수, 의사수, 간호사수, 그리고 CT 보유수를 연구모형에 포함하여 분석하였다. 다중회귀분석결과에서 병원의 구조변수는 환자의 재원기간에 통계학적으로 유의한 영향은 없었다. 환자변수 중에서 중증도의 경우 의료고도와 문제행동군에서 통계학적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 모두 음의 관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 중증도가 높은 의료고도에서 레퍼런스 그룹인 의료중도에 대해 양의 관계를 가질 것이라는 예상과는 상반된 결과였다. 이러한 결과는 알츠하이머 치매환자의 특성과 병원의 구조적특성이 환자의 재원일수 변이에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다는 가능성을 시사하고 있다. 요양병원은 일반 급성기 병원과는 다른 환자의 질병 특성을 지니고 있고, 수가 지불체계에 대해서도 다른 특성을 가진다. 특히 최근 대두되는 '사회적 입원' 문제와 같이 환자의 사회경제적인 요인에 의한 변이가 대두되는 시점에서, 재원기간에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 사회경제적인 요인에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 필요할 것으로 보인다.
