Abstract:
Objectives:The goals of this study are to exploring critical factors and methods to improve Korean Community Care through the cases of GyeongsangNamdo.
Methods:For this study, we performed in-depth interviews with 90 people involved in Community Care services of 6 regions, and the collected data were analyzed. The collected data were analyzed utilizing NVivo12. In the end, we reconfirmed the process through Topic Modeling analysis.
Results:We conducted descriptive statistics and qualitative data analysis collected through surveys and in-depth interviews. In the case of qualitative analysis, we extracted principle codes (Need, Lack, Absence), and sorted the contents into sub-categories. The response rate of ‘Need to strengthen capabilities’ was the highest, ‘Need to communicate and share information’ was the second, and ‘Need for integrated operation and a control tower’ was the third.
Conclusion:As a result, we find the critical factors to improve Community Care. Based on them, we should conduct follow-up researches to propose concrete methods to apply to diverse regions.
