Background The study was conducted to look at practical solutions to improve the quality of life of the aging population and to support effective and practical policies for the senior-friendly industry and long-term care insurance. Thus, this study aims to develop a standardization and classification system of senior- friendly products based on actual usages and the need to support the daily lives of the elderly. Methods For the study, we reviewed the literature on policies that support the aging population and examined the results from previous studies. We also conducted interviews to investigate the need of elderly individuals in Korea for senior friendly products. First, we studied the literature on senior friendly products and we also looked at previous studies in order to guide our research direction and identify the areas for analysis. Second, we conducted interviews with elderly individuals who attend senior welfare centers to evaluate their daily living abilities, their senior-friendly product use, and their need for senior-friendly products in their residential space. Third, we conducted a comparison analysis using the classification system of senior-friendly products in living spaces based on previous studies. In addition, we analyzed the policies for the aging population and examined their daily living abilities and actual usages and need for senior friendly products among the elderly. Results We investigated the existing classification system of senior-friendly products used in daily life and analyzed the need for senior-friendly products used in different areas of the home. We found several interesting results. First, there is a need to support not only elderly individuals’ physical activities, but also their social activities. Second, elderly individuals’perceived abilities to perform daily activities varied among different gender and age groups. This finding has the implication for the development of senior-friendly products that address different groups of elderly people. Third, senior-friendly products require classification system based on living space areas, and by daily living abilities by age group and gender, and the products should be developed and supported based on the classification in order to support independent living and assisted living in care facilities. Conclusions This study established a classification system for senior friendly products to support the daily activities of the elderly in Korea. In addition, the study contributes to improving the social activities of the elderly.
연구배경 본 연구는 고령화로 인한 사회적 문제를 해결하고 고령친화산업과 노인장기요양보험의 실제적, 효과적 정책수행에 기여하기 위해 한국 노인의 일상생활수행 지원을 위한 고령친화제품에 대한 사용실태 와 요구를 파악하고, 분류체계와 표준화를 위해 수행되었다. 연구방법 고령화 지원 정책 및, 선행연구에 대한 문헌연구와, 실제 수요자인 노인을 대상으로 한 인터뷰조사를 실시하였다. 첫째, 고령친화제품과 관련한 제도, 기존 선행연구를 이론 고찰하여, 분석방향과 항목을 도출하였다. 둘째, 실제 노인을 대상으로 일상생활수행능력, 고령친화제품 사용현황, 주거공간별 고령친화제품의 희망여부에 대한 인터뷰 조사를 실시하였다. 셋째, 조사된 내용과 기존 선행연구의 공령친화제품의 주거공간별 분류체계와 비교분석하여, 실제 조사대상자의 일상생활능력과 고령친화제품 사용 현황과 고령친화제품의 요구를 실제 정책 지원과 현황에 대한 내용과 종합적으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 재가노인의 일상생활수행을 위한 고령친화제품의 분류체계를 점검하고, 고령친화제품 표준화를 위해 주거공간별, 일상생활수행능력별 고령친화제품의 요구를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 노인의 일상생활지원은 신체활동 뿐 아니라 사회활동까지 지원하도록 해야 할 것이다. 둘째, 노인의 일상생활수행능력은 성별, 연령별 차이가 있으며, 이에 따른 고령친화제품 요구의 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 고령친화제품은 생활공간별, 일상생활 수행능력별 분류체계가 필요하며, 추가로 자립과 수발지원 제품이 동시에 개발, 지원 되어야 할 것이다. 결론 재가노인을 위한 고령친화제품의 지원 방안을 파악하여 노인의 일상생활지원으로 고령친화제품의 체계와 분류방안을 확립하고 앞으로의 일상생활 지원을 위한 사회적 지원방향 설정에 기여하였다.
