Purpose: Ageing in place may improve the quality of life of frail elderly and decrease their costs of services. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that influence the institutionalization of elderly using home care services in a Korean long-term care insurance system. Methods: This study used the data of ‘2009 Satisfaction survey of Korean long-term care system’. The survey proceeded to use a sampling data based on region, level of long-term care need, and insurance type among the beneficiaries between August and September 2009. The onset dates of institutionalization of 1,095 participants were ascertained from long-term care insurance claim data. This study calculated the hazard ratio through the Cox Proportional Hazard Model. Results: A total of 176 subjects who were institutionalized in nursing homes were included. There were higher risks in the group that included those who were 85 years and over, had dementia or fracture, used home-visit nursing service, and were not supported by direct family. Conclusion: The results of this study have policy implications to supplement the home care service system and postpone nursing home institutionalization of elderly.

본 연구는 노인장기요양보험 인정자 중에서 사망한 자의 임종 관련 의료비를 분석함으로써, 향후 임종 관련 의료비의 효율적 관리방안과 양질의 임종관리 제공방안을 모색하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서 활용한 자료는 건강보험 및 노인장기요양보험 급여이용자료, 통계청 사망원인 통계자료이며, 2008년 7월 1일부터 2012년 12월 31일까지 장기요양 인정등급을 받고 같은 기간 내 사망한 자 총 271,474명을 최종 분석대상자로 하였다. 연구결과 대상자는 여성(60.6%), 75세 이상(74.7%)이 다수를 차지했고, 대부분이 2개 이상의 질환을 보유하고 있었으며, 특히 고혈압(44.3%), 치매(42.3%), 뇌졸중(29.9%) 등 비율이 높았다. 사망원인은 순환기계질환(29.8%), 암(15.3%), 선천성 기형, 변형 및 염색체 이상(14.7%) 등의 순이었고, 사망장소로는 의료기관(64.4%), 자택(22.0%), 사회복지시설(9.2%) 순이었다. 대상자의 등급인정 이후 사망까지 소요시간은 평균 516.2일이었고, 대상자 중 99.3%는 사망 전 1년간 건강보험 또는 장기요양보험 급여를 이용하였다. 특히, 1인당 평균 총 급여비는 사망한 달에 가까워질수록 규모가 커져, 사망 전 12개월 보다 사망 전 1개월에 3배 이상 높아졌다. 또한, 사망 전 1개월간 대상자의 31.8%는 연명치료 범위에 해당하는 치료를 받은 것으로 나타났다. 향후 장기요양 인정자의 임종 관련 불필요한 의료이용 감소 및 효율적 의료관리를 위해 건강보험과 장기요양보험 급여의 통합적 임종관리 전달체계 확립과 호스피스 등 임종케어의 적극적 도입을 제안한다. Purpose: This study empirically investigates the utilization and expenditure of health care and long-term care at the last year of life for long-term care beneficiaries in Korea. Methods: This study used National Health Insurance and Long-term Care Insurance claims data of 271,474 LTCI beneficiaries, who died from July 2008 to December 2012. Their cause of death, place of death, health care costs, and the provision of aggressive care were analyzed. Results: Cardio-vascular disease(29.8%) and cancer(15.3%) were reported as their major cause of death, and hospital(64.4%), home(22.0%), social care facility(9.2%) were analyzed as the place of death. 99.3% of subjects used both health care and long-term care during the last 1 year of life. The average survival period were 516.2 days after they were LTCI beneficiaries. The health care expenditure gradually increased near the death, and the last month were three times more rather than the first month. Furthermore, 31.8% experienced some aggressive cares(CPR, blood transfusion, hemo-dialysis, etc.) at the last month of life. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that it is important to develop the end of life care policies(for example, hospice, advanced care directives) for the LTCI beneficiaries. They might contribute to the improvement of quality of life and the reduction of health care expenditure of the elderly at the end-of-life.

한은정(EunJeong Han),황라일(RahIl Hwang),박세영(SeYoung Park),이정석(JungSuk Lee) 한국사회정책학회 2019 한국사회정책 Vol.26 No.3

장기요양 노인과 가족의 삶의 질을 보호하기 위해서는 노인을 돌보는 가족의 부양현황과 부양부담에 정책적 관심을 기울일 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 장기요양 급여이용 행태별로 가족부양자의 부양 현황과 부양부담을 조사하고 급여이용행태별 부양특성의 차이를 비교하기 위해 시도하였다. 본 연구의 자료는 건강보험정책연구원의 ‘2016 장기요양 등급인정자의 급여이용 행태별 부양실태조사’를 통해 수집되었다. 본 조사는 2016년 6월 ~ 7월 2개월간 총 2,603명의 가족부양자를 대상으로 부양 현황 및 우울, 건강행태, 스트레스, 부양부담감 등에 대해 훈련된 면접원의 일대일면접방식으로 이루어졌다. 재가급여 이용 그룹, 시설급여 이용 그룹, 가족수발 그룹(미이용), 요양병원 이용 그룹(미이용) 4개 그룹으로 구분하여 급여이용 행태별 부양현황 및 부양부담 등을 분석하였다. 본 연구결과 급여 이용행태에 관계없이 응답자의 과반수 이상은 다른 가족구성원으로부터 도움을 받고 있었으나, 재가인 경우 다른 가족으로부터 도움을 받고 있는 비율이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 가족수발 및 요양병원 이용 그룹에서는 비용에 대한 부담을 높게 인식하고 있었다. 재가와 가족수발 그룹의 경우 시설 및 요양병원 그룹과 비교할 때, 가족부양자의 식사, 운동, 수면, 휴식 등 건강행태가 모두 열악한 수준이었고, 건강상태 악화 경험 비율이 높고, 주관적 건강수준 역시 낮게 나타났다. 더구나 가족부양자의 스트레스, 부양부담, 우울 또한 더 높은 수준이었고, 가족수발 그룹에서는 스트레스 경험 시 ‘그냥 참음’ 비율도 높게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 장기요양 급여이용행태별로 가족부양자의 인구사회학적 특성, 부양 현황 및 부양부담 특성에 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 장기요양 가족부양자 지원 정책 개발 시, 급여이용행태별 가족부양자의 부양특성의 차이를 고려한 접근이 필요하겠다. This study aims to investigate and compare differences in caregiving burdens among family members with the disabled elderly according to the utilization of long-term care. We obtained the data from the project ‘2016 Survey on Family Caregivers’ Burden with Long-term Care Beneficiaries’, studied by the Institute for National Health Insurance. This survey was conducted from June 13 to July 17 2016, and the questionnaires included items of family caregivers’ characteristics and caregiving burdens. Total 2,603 family caregivers completed questionnaires. They were classified into 4 groups according to their utilization of long-term care(home care, institutional care, family care, and long-term care hospital services). As a result, more than half of respondents received help from other families. The group of home care reported relatively smaller help from other families. The groups of family care and long-term care hospital services reported statistically significant higher economic burden. The groups of home care and family care suffered from lack of healthy behaviors such as diet, exercise, and sleeping rest, and their subjective health level were low. And they also reported the higher levels of caregiving stress, depression, and caregiving burden, compared with the groups of institutional care and long-term care hospital services. Our findings suggest that it is needed to consider differences in caregiving burdens among family members by the type of benefits to develop family caregiver support programs.

이정석(Lee, JungSuk),황라일(Hwang, RahIl),임민경(Lim, MinKyung) 한국보건간호학회 2015 韓國保健看護學會誌 Vol.29 No.3

Purpose: Th study is to explore the working conditions and factors related to job satisfaction of nurses in long-term care facilities for the elderly. Methods: A total of 127 nurses working long-term care facilities, from June to November 2014, completed questionnaires. Face to face interviews were conducted. The questionnaire consists of a total of 32 questions, including 5 questions related to general characteristics, 15 questions related to working conditions, and 12 questions related to job satisfaction(likert scale of 1 to 5). Results: The majority of nurses were employed in institutional care facilities, in urban area, and in privately owned facilities. On average, employed nurses worked 170.7 hours per month. Only 40.9% of them got more than two million won for their monthly salary. They were satisfied with the nature and worth of their work and the workplace relationship, but not with their wages and promotion opportunity 40.2% of nurses reported satisfaction with job. In multiple logistic regression analysis, age was a statistically significant influencing factor on general job satisfaction. Conclusion: The findings suggest that policies must be to improve nurses’ working conditions, for wages, and to support them with education and training for skills development.

이정석(Lee, JungSuk),이용미(Lee, Yong-Mi),황라일(Hwang, RahIl) 한국보건간호학회 2017 韓國保健看護學會誌 Vol.31 No.1

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the meaning and contents of high-quality aged care facilities and provide basic data for evaluation of service quality in such facilities. Methods: The focus group interviews and participants consisted of two user groups, for a total of 16 family caregivers of the elderly living in facilities and four service provider groups, for a total of 26 chief managers and caregivers working in aged care facilities. All interviews were recorded and transcribed as they occurred. Content analysis was used and debriefing notes were referred to in order to analyze the data. Results: Four themes of a high-quality aged care facility emerged from the analysis; 1) a place to rest for comfortable later years; 2) systematic value-based management; 3) providing professional care; 4) comprehensive service provision in response to diverse needs. Conclusion: The findings of the study showed the importance of client centered care and ethical mindset of providers, which had not been included in the existing quality evaluation programs. Based on these results, medical treatments, end-of-life care and more comprehensive and extended services including family care need to be provided in facilities to ensure good quality aged care.

권진희(Kwon Jinhee),이정석(Lee Jungsuk),장혜민(Jang Hyemin),황라일(Hwang Rahil) 한국노인간호학회 2020 노인간호학회지 Vol.22 No.2

Purpose: It is important to improve accessibility to healthcare for disabled elders, a policy agenda in South Korea. The aim of this study was to investigate part-time doctors and nurses perceptions of tele-consultation using information and communication technology (ICT) for elders in long term care institutions. Methods: Data used for this study was from the database of the tele-consultation pilot project done from November 2016 to October 2017 by National Health Insurance Service (NHIS). In addition, a questionnaire survey was conducted with art-time doctors and nurses who participated in the pilot project. Results: In 89 long term care institutions, a total of 1,258 residents had 2,202 tele-consultations on their health problems over 1 year. Both part-time doctors and nurses had low satisfaction with the tele-consultation pilot project but negatively recognized its usefulness. They were also interested in continuing to participate in the tele-consultation project, if it was modified effectively. Conclusion: The results of this study confirm that considerable modification of this tele-consultation model is needed. It should be helpful for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners to understand the problems and come up with new ideas for further development.

노인장기요양 재가수급자 대상 방문간호 원격협진에 대한 실증 연구

이정석(Lee, Jungsuk),이희승(Lee, Hee Seung),박영우(Park, Yeongwoo),황라일(Hwang, Rahil) 한국노인간호학회 2021 노인간호학회지 Vol.23 No.3

Purpose: The National Health Insurance Service implemented a tele-consultation pilot project for in-home care using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). This study aims to investigate nurses’, doctors’, and families’ perceptions on the project. Methods: Using the pilot project database and perception survey data, this study provides a description of the satisfaction, re-participation motivation, and experiences of nurses, doctors, and families. Results: Tele-consultation for home-visit nursing was used to monitor health conditions and problems, such as pain and blood pressure, or health counseling for home-care beneficiaries. The beneficiaries families showed higher levels of satisfaction than the service providers. Nurses and doctors had relatively positive perceptions about the usefulness of sharing information about beneficiaries, timeliness of providing nursing care, and convenience of communication. Meanwhile, nurses and doctors had negative perceptions of the sufficiency and accuracy of information obtained from tele-consultation, implying the necessity of adopting more advanced ICTs. Conclusion: This study suggests what must be considered when designing a tele-consultation service model in long-term care settings, especially in the home-visit nursing care setting. Innovative approaches using ICTs should be taken to improve home-visit nursing care quality in the era of super-aging and COVID-19.
