Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data to confirm the necessity and effectiveness of the memory school by investigating the perception of users and caregivers about the services and programs provided by the memory school, a social welfare institution for the elderly with minor dementia. For this purpose, 363 students and students in Daegu City were surveyed about the satisfaction and attitude of using memory school. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the use of the memory school is very helpful to the users, and at the same time, it is very meaningful for the decrease of the caregiver burden of the caregiver. Thus, it can be seen that the memory school has the effect of appropriately matching the installation purpose of the facility. In particular, it was found that the degree of satisfaction with the program level, type of service, and future sustainability of the memory school exceeded 90%. Therefore, this study aims to provide policy implications for the social welfare response for the elderly with mild dementia and for the basic data on the memory school for this purpose.

본 연구는 경증치매노인을 위한 사회복지시설인 기억학교에서 제공하고 있는 서비스와 프로그램에 대한 이용자와 보호자의 인식을 조사함으로써 기억학교의 필요성과 효과성을 확인하는 기초자료를 제공하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 대구시에서 지정 설치한 기억학교 이용자와 보호자 363명을 대상으로 기억학교 이용 만족도 및 태도에 대해 조사를 하였다. 분석결과 기억학교의 이용이 이용자에게 매우 높은 수준의 도움이 된다고 인식하고 있으며, 동시에 보호자의 부양부담 감소에도 매우 높은 수준으로 의미 있음이 드러났다. 이를 통해 기억학교가 시설의 설치목적에 적절히 부합하는 효과성을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있다. 특히, 기억학교의 프로그램 수준, 서비스의 종류 등과 향후 지속성에 대한 만족도 정도가 90% 이상의 상당히 높은 결과가 나타났음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통해 경증치매노인을 위한 사회복지적 대응에 대한, 그리고 이를 위해 기억학교에 대한 기초자료로 정책적 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.
