Abstract

This is a descriptive study on visiting caregivers' perception of restraint use. Data were collected from 113 caregivers working at long-term facilities using a structured questionnaire from Feb to March 2016. The caregivers' perception of restraint use was the medium score. The items they considered the most important reasons for the restraints was "Protecting an older person from falling out of bed", which was primarily intended to prevent accidents of the elderly. The score of the knowledge of restraint use was 11.23 points out of 18 and those affected were more than 50 years of age. The attitude score to the use restraints was 9.19, and caregivers thought it should be possible to refrain from using restraints. Work experience of 3 years or less were higher. The perception of using restraints is affected by the knowledge and attitudes of restraint use. This is very important for the elderly in long-term care facilities and is related to health and human rights. Therefore, it is important to provide continuous education related to the use of restraints and regulations on their management.

본 논문은 노인요양시설 요양보호사들의 억제대 사용에 대한 인식을 조사한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료수집은 2016년 1월 13일부터 2월 10일까지 노인요양시설 요양보호사 113명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문을 통해 이루어졌다. 억제대 사용의 인식에 대한 전체 평균은 3.43(${\pm}0.24$)이였으며, 억제대 적용 이유로 가장 중요하게 생각하는 항목은 "대상자를 침대에서 떨어지지 않도록 보호하기 위하여"였으며, 주로 노인 대상자들의 안전사고를 예방하기 위한 항목에서 억제대 사용을 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 억제대 사용에 대한 지식은 18점 만점에 평균 11.23점으로 보통 수준이었으며, 50세 이하의 요양보호사들의 지식수준이 다소 낮았다. 억제대 사용에 대한 태도는 전체평균 9.19점으로 다소 긍정적으로 가급적 억제대 사용을 자제해야 한다고 생각했으며, 근무경력 3년 이하의 요양보호사들이 더 높게 나타났다. 억제대는 노인대상자의 신체 정신적 그리고 인권과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 가장 많은 시간을 함께 하는 요양보호사들의 억제대 사용에 대한 인식의 고려와 향상을 위하여 억제대 사용에 대한 정확한 지침과 눈높이에 맞는 교육이 제공되어야 한다.
