현재 우리나라의 재가간호서비스는 보건소의 맞춤형 방문건강관리사업과 의료기관 가정간호사업, 그리고 노인장기요양보험의 방문간호서비스의 독립성과 전문성을 인정하면서, 각 영역간의 연계를 통해 사업의 중복성을 최소화하는 연계방안이 필요한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 재가간호서비스의 연계방안을 도출하기 위해 전문가들의 의견을 바탕으로 합의를 이끌어내는 델파이 기법을 활용하였다. 그 결과 제도적 차원의 연계와 의료적 차원의 연계라는 두 영역 안의 총 24개 항목이 연계방안으로 도출되었다. 재가간호서비스의 연계방안으로 도출된 24개의 항목은 재가간호사업 체계의 개선과 제공되는 서비스 질의 향상, 대상자의 만족도 증대 효과를 가져 올 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 서비스의 중복을 최소화할 수 있는 방안을 모색함으로서 국가적 차원에서 복지 및 국민 건강관리의 효율성을 증대할 것으로 보인다. 이를 통해 궁극적으로 국민의료비의 절감과 더불어 재가간호서비스 증진에 기여할 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구는 사회학적 신제도주의 관점에서 노인장기요양서비스를 제공하는 조직들이 평가제도를 어떻게 채택하고 집행하는지를 동형화와 분리현상으로 해석하였다. 이를 위해 장기요양서비스를 제공하고 있는 7개 기관을 대상으로 심층인터뷰를 한 자료를 질적 내용분석 하였다. 분석결과, 평가제도가 장기 요양기관의 공식적인 구조에 있어서는 동형화를 이끄는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 장기요양기관 평가제도가 의도한 공급기관 간 경쟁을 통한 효율성을 촉진하는 방식으로 채택되기보다, 정부자원에 의존하기 위해 강압적으로 평가제도를 채택하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 평가제도가 정부규제에 의해 장기요양서비스를 표준화하는 양상으로 집행되고 있음을 확인시켜주었다. 또한, 동형화에 수반되는 조직의 공식구조와 실제 활동의 분리현상도 부분적으로 관찰되었다. 무엇보다 분리현상은 정부역할로서 조직의 이중구조에서 발생할 수 있는 비효율성의 문제를 개선할 수 있는 평가체계의 운용이 요구되며, 특히 돌봄 서비스의 고유성을 반영한 평가지표에 대한 개선이 시급함을 보여준다.

The objective of running a long-term care institution is to provide services helpful for maintaining, supporting, and improving elderlies' optimum level of physical, mental, and psychosocial functioning. For the purpose of analyzing the current situations of institutional long term care facilities in Korea, 27 facilities were selected proportionately from each of the cities and provinces, out of the total 152 facilities. About 20% of those who were institutionalized during 25 August through 2 Qctober 1993, the 391 elderlies were chosen on a systematic random basis. The instrument of this study was developed by modifying the tools of CARE, MAI and PCTC. A multivariate approach of discriminant analysis and clustering technique were employed for this study. The Stiudy reveals that there is no clear differentiation of goals and functions among the longterm care institutions in Korea. Staffing patte군 of long-term care facilities shows a shortage of nurses, physical therapists, and dieticians. The linkage between acute care facilities and long-term care is weak, and administration of long-term care faciltiy is carried out by non-professionals. They are responsible for assessing health status before entering the facility, and evaluating elderlies' care. Therefore, it is not surprising to find that most of the facilities have accommodated agede regardless of their real needs and health status. Based upon findings of the analysis, this study has classified long-term care facilities into four types : Type I is to help elderlies maintain independence in daily living activities. Type II facilities have the objective of maintaining and improving the current level of elderlies' function. Type III is to maintain maximum independence of elderlies in activities of daily living. And Type IV is identified for the group of facilities designed to restore or improve functional abilities of elderlies. In conclusion, the following suggestions are made : the need for long-term care should be assessed by multidimensional measurement. Institutional long-term care facilities should be classified and developed in response to type of type of care and service need. Both acute and long-term care facilities should be linked together in order to support the evaluation of service operation and program development.

This study examined the factors related to family caregiver satisfaction with institutional care services for beneficiaries under the Public Long-Term Care Insurance(PLTCI) system. Determining what contributes to family caregiver satisfaction is a critical step toward implementing effective quality improvement strategies. A national cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted from November to December 2008, using proportionate quota sampling based on the location and level of Long-Term Care of the beneficiaries. Total 1,745 family caregivers wrote informed consents and 733 (response rate 42%) completed questionnaires, which included caregiver characteristics, organizational resources, primary objective and subjective stressors, perceived quality of services, and family caregiver satisfaction. Family caregivers were satisfied overall with institutional care. In multiple regression analysis, there was a statistically significant difference in degree of family caregiver satisfaction according to caregiver characteristics(relationship to beneficiary), primary objective stressors (insurance type of beneficiary), perceived quality of services(respect to family caregivers' idea, ADL support, expertness of staff, careful concern of staff, fulfillment of client's requests, and safety of institution's environment). In public long-term care, satisfaction efforts are in an early stage of development. This study is meaningful as the first attempt to measure family caregiver satisfaction with institutional care for beneficiaries under the PLTCI system, and to identify factors affecting the satisfaction. Among the identified factors, the policy makers, the insurer, and the providers need to pay attention to perceived quality of services, in particular, to improve customer satisfaction. Our findings can provide quality care improvement initiatives in the public long-term care setting.

As cost pressures have escalated, policy makers, politicians, health care providers and families have tried to devise ways to reduce health care costs. While originally developed to enhance patient control and to provide better care at the end of life, hospice care has recently received significant attention as a mean of reducing health care costs. As a program providing care for patients who are dying at their homes, hospice has expanded slowly since the opening of the first hospice in Korea in 1963. Therefore, a variety of services that responds to the needs and concerns of many dying people and their families is limited The purpose of this study was to determine the potential cost savings at the end of life among patients who used home hospice compared with the patients who received institutional care in Korea. This study used a retrospective, descriptive design. The sample for this study included 46 patients who died of lung cancer: 25 patients who received home hospice care and 21 patients who received institutional care. Data on patient characteristics, kinds and frequencies of provided treatment and nursing services, and hospice and hospital charges during the last month before death were collected. Cost of care was measured by the average cost per patient per day in the last month of life. The results of the study indicated that there were significant differences in average cost of care between home hospice sample and institutional care sample (t=9.956, p<.001; home hospice sample: M=18,102 won, institutional care sample: M=317,578 won). The cost of the home hospice sample was approximately 6% of the cost of institutional care. The majority of the home hospice nursing services were education (35.7%) and supportive counseling (25.2%), followed by medication management (13.6%), assessment (12.1%), basic nursing (7.2%), treatment (5.5%) and others. In institutional care sample, basic nursing and treatment were more emphasized than education or supportive counseling among the nursing services provided. The results of this study showed the potential for hospice to reduce costs and implications for policymakers and clinicians to incorporate hospice program into the formal health care delivery system in Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify influencing factors on service quality provided by care helpers working for the elderly in long term care. Methods: The data were collected using self-reported questionnaire from 221 care helpers working in long-term care facility or home care service center. The data were analyzed using multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. Results: There were significant differences in service quality depending on the health status, intimacy level, pleasure level, job education, and turnover intention. Factors influencing service quality were gender, intimacy level with elderly, type of working place and job satisfaction with $R^2$ value of 17.3%. The most influencing factor was intimacy level (${\beta}$=.249), followed by job satisfaction (${\beta}$=.208), gender (${\beta}$=.170), and type of working place (${\beta}$=.146). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the effort to improve the service quality of care helper should be focused on helping intimacy building between the elderly and the care helper. Also, a more effective way to improve service quality would be intervening for care helpers providing institutional care.

Purpose: To compare the changes in activities of daily living (ADLs) in older adults with stroke in different modalities of long term care (LTC) services, which include home care and institutional care. Methods: This is a comparative study using secondary data from the Korean national LTC insurance. Home care (HC) services users (n=3,494) and institutional care (IC) users (n=1,428) were extracted and compared in terms of ADLs and changes in ADLs to investigate the effects of HC and IC services in LTC. Results: All of the ADLs and LTC services benefit levels for 2 years had improved in both HC and IC services. The ADLs of older adults with stroke who received HC improved, while those who received IC experienced deterioration. The LTC services benefit levels of the HC and IC groups were significantly different after 2 years. Conclusion: The study has found that HC services may lead ADLs better for older adults with stroke. We recommend LTC policy makers to further develop HC and IC service programs to deliver quality LTC services.

This study aimed to clarify the multifunctional services and space composition in the process of developing a multifunctional long-term care program in small elderly care facilities in Japan. We collected data about multifunctional long-term care at small facilities from the Community Life Support Center (CLC), a Japanese non-profit corporation, and conducted an interview survey of the members of the CLC's secretariat in 2014. Furthermore, we selected 3 Japanese pioneering care facilities (known as takurosho), and conducted interview surveys and data collection to clarify in detail the space composition and process of development of multifunctional long-term care at small facilities. Four distinct results were found. First, the facilities had gradually increased non-institutional services, including visitation, overnight stays, and long-term stays, to fit the needs of users and their families. Secondly, in the 1990s, they could offer both non-institutional and institutional services at the same facility, but after the long-term care insurance system began in 2000, non-institutional long-term stay services were not allowed. Third, the facilities had built extensions or extra rooms in response to increases in multifunctional services and users. These rooms had common characteristics, with sitting rooms at the center of the facility. Lastly, the maximum number of service users at each of the 3 facilities was limited to 15, to maintain a small scale. However, as the size of facilities was increased through building extensions or remodeling, the overall amount of area available to users increased.

정부는 2020년부터 기존의 6개 노인 돌봄서비스를 일괄 폐지하고, 노인맞춤돌봄서비스를 새롭게 도입했다. 노인돌봄 제도의 큰 변화로 장기요양 등급외자 노인을 위한 예방서비스로서 중요한 역할을 수행하게 되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 노인맞춤돌봄서비스의 도입 의미와 과제를 길버트와 테렐의 정책 분석틀을 활용해서 분석하는데 있다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 노인맞춤돌봄서비스는 사회서비스원의 도입과 커뮤니티 케어를 강조하는 거시 정책 환경에서 탄생한 제도로 노인 돌봄의 할당, 급여, 전달, 재정 측면에서 여러 변화를 초래하는 것으로 분석됐다. 제도적으로 등급외자를 위한 돌봄서비스의 보장성이 하위 70%로 확대되고, 보건의료와 복지의 다양한 급여가 제공될 수 있게 됐다. 또, 전달체계가 지역의 생활권역을 설정해서 수행기관이 전담해서 책임지고, 재정이 공급자 지원 방식으로 바뀌었다. 이를 통해 여러 긍정적인 변화가 기대되지만, 보장성의 여전한 취약성, 셀프케어의 모호함과 직접 대인 서비스의 축소, 서비스권역 설정의 적절성, 공급자 위주 서비스 제공 등의 과제가 발생할 것으로 분석됐다.
