Abstract

In response to the growing need for effective policy implementation strategies for older adults in South Korea, we propose the establishment of a user-centered institution tightly integrated with policies, termed, "comprehensive gateway institution for older adults." This research addresses the challenges 231 older adult users face when navigating various health policies. Our survey findings revealed that these users experienced difficulties in dealing with the current policy approach for older adults. The respondents expressed their expectations for improved service access through the proposed gateway institution. They emphasized the importance of universal access to services and the need for personalized offerings that consider their unique circumstances, physical abilities, and skills. By incorporating these research outcomes into practice, we can help lay the groundwork for more effective policies measures and create a system that better meets the needs of older adults in the future.

优化老年人与养老服务机构之间的联系:韩国用户对网关机构的看法。
为了满足韩国老年人对有效政策实施战略日益增长的需求,我们建议建立一个以用户为中心、与政策紧密结合的机构,称为 "老年人综合门户机构"。这项研究探讨了 231 名老年人用户在了解各种医疗政策时所面临的挑战。我们的调查结果显示,这些用户在应对当前的老年人政策方针时遇到了困难。受访者表达了他们对通过拟议的网关机构改善服务获取途径的期望。他们强调了普及服务的重要性,以及考虑到他们的独特情况、身体能力和技能而提供个性化服务的必要性。通过将这些研究成果融入实践,我们可以帮助为更有效的政策措施奠定基础,并创建一个能在未来更好地满足老年人需求的系统。

期刊介绍: Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (GGM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed open access journal where scholars from a variety of disciplines present their work focusing on the psychological, behavioral, social, and biological aspects of aging, and public health services and research related to aging. The journal addresses a wide variety of topics related to health services research in gerontology and geriatrics. GGM seeks to be one of the world’s premier Open Access outlets for gerontological academic research. As such, GGM does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers will be subjected to rigorous peer review but will be selected solely on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, GGM facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers.
