However, we still do not know which caring area has the most difficulty when the caregivers provide care in the older adults and disabled. It is intended to suggest the direction of caring robot development by figuring out what the burden of care is. At present, Korean government and private companies are trying to develop several types of caring robot and caring objects. The purpose of the study was to examine the level of difficulty in activities of daily living (ADLs) care and the functional level of care recipient's ADL in formal caregivers of older adults and disabled in Korea. Methods A cross-sectional survey study design was used through either telephone interview or self-report using Google form with formal direct care-helper of older adults and disabled. Data were collected from July, 2021 to Feb. 2022 at care facilities located in Seoul, KyungKi-do, ChungChungBook-do and Jeollanam-do. A convenience sample of 444 direct care-helpers were included if they were giving care to older adults or disabled who were admitted to the facilities more than 1 month or were residing in community, and needed lots of help from others, demonstrating difficulties in performing ADLs by themselves. Barthel ADL Index (Collin et al., 1988, Kim et al., 2004) was used to measure ADLs. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation. Results and Discussion Mean age and education of the participants were 57.10 (SD 10.22) and 12.37 (SD 2.99), respectively. Top three order of caring difficulty in ADLs were followed: bathing, bowel and bladder care, and bed/chair transfer. Furthermore, among ten ADL items, mean score of bathing was the most dependent in all groups. In older adults residing in nursing homes and geriatirc hospitals, eating food was the most independent, and ed/chair transfer was in disabled residing in facilities and community. Longer daily care time (r=.19, p<.01), higher physical burden (r=.47, p<.01), higher stress (r=.50, p<.01) were related to higher care burden. Direction for future suggestion should be focused on developing in bathing care robot. In this sense, multi-disciplinary team approach including nurses, physical therapists, rehabilitation engineers, policy makers, social worker, and economist must be practiced and discussed together. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
