Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the influence of care services on the quality of life of elderly residents in long-term care facilities, and to determine the mediating effect of family support. The subjects of the study were 192 older adults living in long-term care facilities in the Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do region. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program, and the methods used include descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results of the study found that the subjects' quality of life differed depending on their age, education, income level of their children, reasons for admission, and length of stay. The factors that influenced their quality life included age, education, the income level of their children, reasons for admission, length of stay, and care services. The study also revealed that family support was the mediating effect in the relationship between care services and quality of life. The results of the study will provide insight in establishing a nursing intervention plan to improve the quality of life of elderly residents in care facilities.

이 연구의 목적은 노인요양 시설 입소 노인의 삶의 질에 시설 서비스가 영향을 미치는지 파악하고, 가족 지지의 매개효과를 알아보는 것이다. 연구 대상은 대구·경북 지역의 노인요양 시설에 입소하여 생활하는 노인 192명이다. SPSS 22.0 program을 활용하여 기술통계, t-test와 ANOVA, Pearson의 상관관계 분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 연령, 학력, 자녀의 경제 수준, 입소 계기, 입소 기간에 따라 삶의 질에 차이가 있었다. 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령, 학력, 자녀의 경제 수준, 입소 계기, 입소 기간 그리고 시설 서비스로 나타났으며, 가족 지지는 시설 서비스와 삶의 질의 관계에서 매개 요인으로 밝혀졌다. 요양 시설 입소 노인들의 삶의 질 개선을 위한 간호 중재 계획 수립의 정보가 될 것이다.
