Abstract

This study is a descriptive research study to identify Unmet Dementia Information Needs (UDIN) for caregivers of dementia patients at Dementia Relief Center and to understand the effectiveness of the program for workers. The subjects were 114 caregivers and 217 practitioners from dementia relief centers in 25 autonomous districts of S city from November 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020. The UDIN questionnaire is a 7-point Likert scale. The Crisis Management Questionnaire is a Likert 5-point scale consisting of 10 questions from 6 categories. As a result of the study, the proportion of depressed caregivers experiencing UDIN was 12.3times higher than those who did not (p<.001). The program effectiveness was 8.98times better than those who perceived the lack of risk management as good (p=.004), and social workers were 2.81times better than nurses (p=.091). It is necessary to conduct interactive operations to meet the needs of the community residents by listening to their diverse opinions rather than simply implementing a one-sided policy to raise the service of a dementia relief center to the highest level in a short period of time.

본 연구는 치매안심센터의 치매환자 보호자에게 미충족 치매정보를, 종사자에게는 프로그램에 대한 효과성을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자는 S시 25개 자치구의 치매안심센터에서 보호자 114명, 종사자 217명을 대상으로 하였으며, 기간은 2019년 11월 1일부터 2020월 1월 30일까지이다. 연구도구 중 미충족 치매정보는 7문항의 Likert 5점 척도, 위기관리수준은 6항목, 10문항의 Likert 5점 척도로 구성된 설문지를 사용하였다. 연구결과 우울한 보호자가 그렇지 않은 보호자에 비해 미충족 치매정보를 경험할 비율이 12.3배 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<.001). 위기관리수준이 미흡하다고 인식한 종사자일수록 프로그램 효과성이 8.98배 높게인식하였으며(p=.004), 사회복지사가 간호사에 비해 2.81배나 높게인식하였다(p=.091). 결론적으로, 치매안심센터 서비스 수준을 단기간에 최고로 만들기 위한 일방적 정책보다 지역사회 주민들과 다양한 의견교환을 통해 그들의 필요를 충족해 나가는 쌍방향 운영이 필요하다.
