Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the competence level of the caregiver and verify empirically the evaluated score of the competence level of the caregiver depending on the type of career and employment to propose a measure to improve the quality of care services. To more accurately evaluate the competence level of caregiver, the collected data were analyzed using fuzzy relationships for identifying the extent of relationship, after setting weighted values for the evaluation factors for working levels and service qualities. Such approach has a significance in that individual evaluation factors and individual's competence levels for caregivers may be more suitably and exactly identified. The analysis results are as follows. Care skill, reliability, assurance, typicality were statistically significant according to the caregiver's career. Also, according to the types of employment, job consciousness, responsiveness, empathy, typicality were statistically significant. To improve the competence level of the caregiver, it may be seen that improvement of job consciousness considering the career and employment types and making environments for acquiring the care skills should be done, while providing stability of the employment types rather than careers is more meaningful to improve the quality of services.

본 연구는 요양보호사의 역량수준을 평가하고 경력과 고용형태에 따라 역량수준 평가점수를 실증적으로 검정하여 요양서비스의 질적 향상을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 수집된 자료는 요양보호사의 역량수준을 보다 정확하게 평가하기 위하여 업무수준 평가요인 및 서비스 질의 평가요인에 대한 가중치를 설정한 후, 관계의 정도를 파악하는 퍼지관계를 사용하여 분석하였다. 이러한 접근은 요양보호사 개인별 평가요인과 개인의 역량수준을 보다 적확하게 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 요양보호사의 경력에 따라서는 요양기술, 신뢰성, 보증성, 유형성이 통계적으로 유의하였다. 또한 요양보호사의 고용형태에 따라서는 직업의식, 대응성, 감정이입, 유형성이 통계적으로 유의하였다. 요양보호사의 역량수준을 향상시키기 위해서는 경력, 고용형태를 고려하여 직업의식을 향상시키고, 요양기술을 습득할 수 있는 환경을 조성해주어야 할 것이며, 서비스의 질을 높이기 위해서는 경력보다는 고용형태의 안정성을 부여하는 것이 의미 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.
