노인인구 중 치매환자가 증가하고 있는 가운데, 전통적인 노인부양체계의 붕괴로 인해 치매환자들을 위한 노인전문요양시설의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 이에 치매가족들에게는 부양부담을 덜어주고 치매노인들은 질적인 치료와 보살핌을 받을 수 있는 노인전문요양시설 활성화를 위해, 치매환자와 주간호자의 특성, 치매환자의 일상생활능력정도, 주간호자의 부담감과 그에 따른 노인전문요양시설 요구도를 파악하고자 하였다.자료수집 기간은 2002년 9월26일부터 11월5일까지이며 구조화된 질문지를 이용하여 자료수집 하였다. 연구대상은 서울시 17개 보건소 치매상담센터에 등록된 가정내 치매환자와 주간보호소 15개소를 이용하는 치매환자 217명의 주간호자로 자료분석은 SPSS Win 10.0을 이용한 빈도, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다.1.치매환자는 66.9%가 여성으로 치매환자의 평균 연령은 77.6세이었고, 주간호자는 여성이 79.7%로 주간호자의 연령은 46세이상이 75.6%이었다.2.치매환자의 일상생활수행 도움필요 정도는 평균 64.73점으로 가정내 치매환자는 일상생활수행 도움필요 정도가 평균 68.56점(±22.00)이었으나, 주간보호소 이용 치매환자는 평균 60.91점(±18.56)으로 가정내 치매환자에 비해 주간보호소 이용 치매환자의 일상생활수행능력이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다.3.주간호자의 부담감 정도는 평균 72.46점으로 주간호자의 부담감이 비교적 높았으며, 주간보호소 이용 치매환자의 주간호자는 평균 66.10점(±11.22), 가정내 치매환자 주간호자는 평균 78.82점(±13.32)으로 가정내 치매환자 주간호자의 부담감이 주간보호소 이용 치매환자 주간호자의 부담감보다 높게 나타났다.4.노인전문요양시설 이용 요구도는 치매환자 주간호자의 대부분인 73.3%가 이용의사가 있었다. 치매환자 주간호자들은 50만원이하의 재정부담을 자녀가 부담하고, 정부가 운영하는 20명이하의 소규모와 위치는 집에서 가까이에 있는 노인전문요양시설을 요구하였다. 또한 치매환자 주간호자가 여성이며, 연령이 46세이상인 경우, 학력은 고졸이상인 주간호자에게서 노인전문요양시설 이용의사가 더 높았다.5.노인전문요양시설을 이용할 의사가 없는 이유로는 자식의 도리(40.6%)가 가장 많았고, 노인이 불쌍해서가 (23.1%), 경제적 부담(18.9%)순으로 나타났다.6.치매환자의 일상생활수행능력은 노인전문요양시설 요구도와 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 치매환자 주간호자의 부담감이 높을수록 노인전문요양시설 이용 요구도가 높게 나타났다.이상의 연구결과, 거동이 가능한 환자는 주간보호소와 같은 재가시설을 이용 할 수 있지만, 와상 치매환자의 경우 전적으로 가정에서 가족이 돌보게 되어 부담감이 가중되므로, 중산층과 서민들이 이용할 수 있는 저렴한 유료 노인 전문요양시설 활성화를 위한 정책이 필요하다.

This descriptive study was done to identify the needs for nursing home facilities for patients with Alzheimer''s disease. General characteristics of the patients and their families, activities of daily living of the patients, and the degree of burden perceived by the caregivers were examined in relation to the need for nursing home care. The study was conducted from September 26 to November 5, 2002, using a structured questionnaire. Data collection was carried out through self-reports and one-to-one interviews.The participants were 124 caregivers of patients with Alzheimer''s disease registered with the Alzheimer''s Disease Counseling Centers in 17 public health offices in Seoul (home-bound group) and 93 caregivers of patients using 15 day care centers for elderly people (day care group). A total of 217 questionnaires were used in the analysis which was done using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviation, t-test, χ2-test, and ANOVA. The results of the study are as follows:1.General characteristics of the patients and their caregivers: Almost all of the patients and their caregivers were women. A large proportion of home-bound patients lived alone. There was a difference in educational background, monthly household income, and frequency of asking for help between the caregivers in the two groups.2.Activities of daily living of patients with Alzheimer''s disease: The average score for the patients was 64.73 points, with those in the home-based group having 68.56(±22.00), and those in the day care group having 60.91 points(±18.56). Ability in activities of daily living was higher in the day care group than in the home bound group.3.Sense of burden in caregivers: The average score was 72.46. Caregivers for the home bound group expressed higher levels of burden (78.82±13.32) than those of the day care group (66.10±11.22).4.Intentions to use nursing home facilities: Of the respondents, 157 (72.4%) said they would like to use one of these facilities. The caregivers in both groups expressed a need for: 1) financial cost of less than 500,000 won to the family of the patient; 2) small-size facilities operated by the government, accommodating fewer than 20 patients; and 3) nursing home facilities close to home. Only for the period of use did caregivers in the two groups have different expectations. Those taking care of patients in the day care group expreesed a need to use the facility for less than 3 months, while those caring for patients in the home bound group wanted to use it until the patient died. 5.Conditions for using a nursing home facility: Financial burden was report as the biggest deterrent to using these facilities. Many of the respondents said the question of expense took precedence over all other conditions. Some of the respondents did not want to use these facilities because: they wanted to do their filial duty to their parents (40.6%); or it would be too difficult for the older person (23.1%); or the economic burden was too great (18.9%).As the problem of caring for older people with Alzheimer''s disease becomes a social problem and not only a family matter, nursing home facilities for people in the working or middle classes need to be continually expanded so that everybody can readily use these facilities and have them relatively close to home.
