Purpose: In countries with a large elderly population, the integrated visiting health care program for the elderly in communities was effective in preventing frailty and reducing medical expenses. Customized preventive health service is essential in a super-aged society. The purpose of this study is to estimate the number of professionals who perform visiting health care for the elderly. Methods: The statistics for the elderly from Statistics Korea and the Visiting Healthcare Performance Report from Korea Health Promotion Institute were employed in the analysis. The elderly were divided into four groups: healthy, pre-frailty, frailty I, and frailty II, according to their health level. Through the focus group interview, the ratio of nurses, physical activity experts, and nutritionists was set at 8:1:1. Results: Three scenarios were classified into minimum, medium, and maximum according to the number of visits. In the case of Seoul, the number of essential professionals was calculated at least from 719 to a maximum of 1,837. Conclusion: Since this study has a limitation in calculating visiting health care experts only by the ratio of nurses, physical activity experts, and nutritionists, future studies should consider experts or professionals in the field of social welfare, oral health, and visiting treatment.

본 연구는 개념이 명확하지 않고 포괄적이며, 의료법 위반 여부가 염려되는 건강관리서비스에 대하여 정확한 개념을 확립하기 위해 실시되었다. 이를 위하여 2019년 5월 보건복지부에서 발행한 비의료 건강관리서비스 가이드라인을 분석하고 응용하여 노인건강관리서비스에서 헬스치공의 운동처방 적용 방법에 대해 제시하였다. 먼저 2019년에 통계청에서 최근에 발표한 세계와 한국의 인구 현황 및 전망을 통해 인구변화 추이에 따른 노인 문제를 살펴보았으며 헬스치공의 자연요법으로서 효과를 확인하기 위해 중국체육총국의 자료를 통해 치유원리를 확인하였고, 헬스치공의 생리적, 심리적 효과를 선행연구를 통해 확인하는 절차를 거쳤다. 연구 결과로서 비의료 건강관리서비스 영역에서 만성질환자의 건강중재를 위한 헬스치공 프로그램을 다음과 같이 결정하였다. 첫째, 개인의 건강정보 확인 및 수집, 둘째, 혈압과 혈당 측정 및 관리수준 설정, 셋째, 만성질환 예방 및 관리 상담, 식이관리 및 조절 상담, 다섯째, 헬스치공 수련 목표 및 수준 설정, 여섯째, 헬스치공 수련 실시와 점검, 일곱째, 피드백에 의한 운동처방 사이클 조정이라는 7단계 수준에서 운동처방 적용 예시를 제안하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 비의료 건강관리서비스에서 헬스치공을 프로그램으로 활용할 경우 많은 부분이 이용자에게 제공될 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 헬스치공을 포함한 다른 자연요법 프로그램이 제공될 경우에도 같은 형태로 활용할 수 있다는 것을 확인하는 계기를 마련하였다는데 의의가 있을 것이다.

With increases in senior citizens and changes in family structure, the need for long-term care system for elderly is increasing, however, the capacity and environment of Korean facilities are very limited. Health and nutritional status of long-term care residents are worse than free-living elderly. In this study, general food service management and health care practices in long-term care systems were investigated. Questionnaire were sent to the directors of all 162 long-term care facilities in Korea and 81 returned the complete answers. The results showed 1) There are slow but steady increase in long-term care systems in Korea, however, the capacity is far from adequate. Less than 10,000 elderly were resided in the facilities. Most of the systems were free-nursing homes and supported by the goverment. Staffing structure revealed that most of the facilities had a director, a secretary, nurses, but only 21% of the systerm hired a dietitian. It showed the shortage of nurses, physical therapists, and dietitians. Therefore, food purchasing, menu planning, food delivery, and the other food service management processes are handled by non-professionals, such as director, secretary, or cooks. Modified fool frequency questionnaire were used to get the frequencies of each food items used in menu and a menu-analysis was made on the one-day menu provided by the facilities. The results showed relatively satisfactory in nutrients content and food frequencies., however, this was about what was used in menu, not what was eaten by the residents. Therefore this results did not tell that the food intake status of individuals. In most facilities general health checkup was done on a regular basis, and had residents with various chronic degenerative diseases, such as hypertension, neuralgia, stroke, arthritis, diabetes. But the items checked on health checkup included weight, height, blood and urine tests, X-ray test, which suggested that the checkup lists should be revised to accomodate the health problem of the aged today.
