This study aims to explore an improved program of visiting medical treatment service. For this purpose the researcher chose 127 subjects located in Seoul area. After drawing up survey subjects and patrons from November 13, 2008 to December 1 of the same year, I analyzed the responses of the 105 returned questionnaire.
To analyze the collected questionnaire responses, I employed SPSS/WIN 12.0 statistical program for enforced frequency analysis, t-test, simple Person's correlation analysis, and cross tab analysis.
The main findings are as follows.
Most of the subjects consisted of 65.7 percent of the third-class beneficiaries incapable of using facilities supplies. The seventies occupied 44.8 percent near to the half of age bracket and women are composed of 70.5 percent of sexual distribution ratio. The general subjects paying their share for themselves showed 63.8 percent high compared with the basic living standard welfare beneficiaries paying their share. In health problems, physical inconvenience indicated 23.6 percent most high and one after the other paralysis, high/low blood pressure, and dementia did 13 percent bracket respectively. With respect to daily life, less than 5 years, namely the period to need others' help showed 72.4 percent most high, and less than 10 years did 19 percent. As the ground of visiting medical treatment service, in entering the facilities the subjects answering segregation from their families showed 54.3 percent more than the half of them. In actual condition of using service the frequency of baking up physical activity was most high as 46.3 percent, however compared with it that of satisfaction measurement went down as 44.3 percent.
The analysis is that medical treatment patrons are still poor in professional care skill and that educational system and supplement schooling should be enforced. Also, in case of emotional support service, the frequence of satisfaction was more or less low as 16.2 percent. The reason of low result is that familiarity of medical treatment patrons was not still formed and that their reliability is not accumulated because only a few months passed away since visiting medical treatment originated. Additionally the service of domestic assistants' carrying out things, that is, support in daily life or individual activity was somewhat higher than use frequency.
As a whole, satisfaction perception level of medical treatment service showed high level exceeding 95 percent. The fitness of the cost the person pays showed 65.7 percent, that of dispatch time did 48.6 percent and the unfitting of it did 37.1 percent. The subjects receiving additional service showed 9.5 percent, paying additional cost as an individual charge owing to insufficiency of dispatch time. The 37.1 percent of respondents wanted more visiting medical care service time. The maximum usable time is limited 4 hours under current law. In the survey, the respondents wishing for additional care service means a massage for rehabilitation.
According to the above results, I argue that the following implications and suggestions are of great importance in this study.
The first, reduction arrangement against individual charge for allowances with a view to staying at home and extension of cash allowances for family assistants should be enforced above all.
The second, as the basic tenor aims to maintain survival ability the services of preventive dimension should be provided and applied to aging people except classes.
The third, the specialized professional train courses is essential to service donors including medical treatment patrons and the professional care management system should be introduced.
