본 연구는 도시에 비해 고령화속도가 빠르고 노인복지면에서 상대적으로 열악한 중.소 도시 및 농어촌 지역 노인을 중심으로 노인상담에 관한 실증적인 인식과 욕구를 파악하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 충남 서산지역의 60세 이상 남녀 노인을 연구대상으로 하였으며, 서산시 사회복지관 이용노인 및 노인 일자리사업 참여노인, 대산읍 소재 경로당에서 활동하고 있는 남.여 노인 360명을 대상으로 2009년 4월24일부터 5월 30일까지 37일간에 걸쳐 자료를 수집하였고, 회수된 352부 중 불성실하게 응답한 7부를 제외한 345부의 설문지를 최종 분석대상으로 하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 본 연구대상자들은 노인상담에 대하여 잘 모르거나 전혀 모르는 비율이 58.5%로 나타난 반면, 노인상담의 필요성에 대하여는 52.5%가 필요하거나 매우 필요하다고 답함으로써 노인상담을 잘 모르는 상태에서도 막연하게나마 그 필요성을 느끼고 있었으며, 이는 노인상담에 대한 교육 및 홍보의 필요성을 말해주는 결과로 해석된다. 둘째, 연구대상자들은 노인상담을 한 번도 경험하지 않은 경우가 81.0%로 나타났다. 그러나 19.0%의 상담경험이 있는 노인의 경우에도 상담상대는 성직자, 사회복지사, 공무원 등의 순으로 나타나 전문상담의 경험은 전무한 상태였으며, 주로 상담한 내용은 질병·건강문제와 경제적 문제 등이었다. 한편, 노인상담에 대한 인지도는 연령이 낮을수록, 현재 직업이 있을수록, 배우자와 함께 사는 노인일수록, 건강수준이 좋을수록 높게 나타났으며, 노인상담에 대한 필요성 또한 연령이 낮을수록, 현재 직업이 있을수록, 부부만이 동거하고, 친구가 적당히 있으며 고민거리가 많을수록 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 향후 전문 노인상담에 대한 의향에서는 해보고 싶다는 노인이 57.1%로 나타나 하고 싶지 않다는 응답(18.0%)보다 세 배 이상 많았다. 상담을 망설이는 이유로는 ‘나의 고민을 남에게 말하기 싫어서’와 ‘어디서 누구와 할지를 몰라서’라고 응답한 노인이 67.2%로 나타나, 많은 노인들이 상담에 대하여 사생활을 침해하는 것이라는 오해를 가지고 있으며 그만큼 노인상담에 대하여 정확히 모르고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 학력이 높을수록, 직업이 있을수록, 부부가 함께 생존하고 자녀수가 4명 이상인 노인일수록 향후 전문상담에 대한 의향도 높게 나타났다. 넷째, 노인상담에 대한 일반적 욕구에서 상담비용에 관해서는 조사대상의 62.7%가 국가 등의 부담에 의한 무료상담을 희망하는 것으로 나타났으며, 선호하는 상담장소는 자택(44.4%), 노인전문상담기관(21.1%), 사회복지관(19.3%)의 순으로 나타났다. 또한 원하는 상담상대는 노인전문상담원(34.0%), 사회복지사(34.0%)를 주로 희망하는 것으로 나타나 전문화에 대한 욕구를 뒷받침했다. 원하는 상담형태는 대면상담이 87.5%로 가장 높았으며, 또 원하는 상담자 연령대는 50대(33.1%)가 가장 많고, 나이에 상관없다(22.2%), 40대(21.6%)와 60대(14.6%) 순으로 나타났다. 상담자의 성별은 성별에 상관없다(46.1%)와 여자(45.8%)가 비슷하게 나타났고, 상담에서 얻고자 하는 결과는 ‘스스로 해결하는 데 필요한 도움’(29.5%)과 ‘적극적 해결’(27.4%)을 바라는 것으로 나타났으며, 22.6%의 노인이 내 문제를 들어만 줘도 좋다고 답하여 상담을 통한 정서적 공감이나 위로에 대한 욕구가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 노인상담의 상담요인별 욕구의 우선순위에서는 질병·건강, 경제, 외로움·고독 등의 순으로 상담욕구가 높게 나타났다. 한편, 노인들의 특성에 따라 영역별로 상담욕구가 다르게 나타났다. 직업이 없는 노인일수록, 건강이 나쁠수록, 부부동거노인일수록, 사별한 노인 이외의 경우에 질병·건강에 대한 상담욕구가 높았다. 생활수준이 낮을수록, 독거하는 노인일수록, 생활만족도가 낮을수록, 고민거리가 많을수록 경제문제에 대한 상담욕구가 높았다. 반면에 직업이 있을수록, 친구가 적을수록, 독거할수록, 이혼한 노인일수록 고독·외로움에 대한 상담욕구가 높았다. 그러나 학력이 높을수록, 친구가 많을수록, 생활수준이 중간 이상일수록 취미·여가에 대한 상담욕구는 오히려 높았다. 또 남성노인일수록, 부부동거 노인일수록 복지·서비스에 대한 상담욕구가 높았으며, 종교가 없을수록, 연령이 높을수록, 건강이 양호할수록, 생활만족도가 높을수록, 고민거리가 적을수록 재산관리에 대한 상담욕구가 높았다. 종교가 없을수록, 연령이 낮을수록 부부문제에 대한 상담욕구가 높은 반면, 직업이 있을수록, 배우자와 사별한 경우일수록 이성문제에 대한 상담욕구가 높았다. 자녀동거 노인일수록 이웃이나 친구문제에 대한 상담욕구가 높았다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 노인상담의 발전과 실천적 전개를 위하여 다음과 같은 정책적 제언을 하였다. 첫째, 국가, 지방자치단체 등에 의한 공적체제 하에 전문화된 노인상담실 운영이 필요하다. 둘째, 노인상담에 대한 교육과 홍보 강화로 노인상담의 문호 확대와 이용도 제고가 요구된다. 셋째, 누구나 편안하게 노인상담을 이용할 수 있도록 순회방문상담, 전화상담 등에 대한 제도화·정례화가 요구된다. 넷째, 50대를 주축으로 한 4-60대의 종합적인 상담전문가를 양성함과 더불어, 60대의 상담 전문가를 중심으로 노인에 의한 노인을 위한 노인의 상담 즉 노-노상담의 활성화를 모색해야 할 것이다. 마지막으로, 노인상담기관은 노인문제와 관련된 다양한 분야의 전문가 또는 조직과의 유기적인 관계망 구축으로 노인상담의 전문화를 촉진해야 할 것이다.

This research has its purpose in grasping an empirical perception and needs about the senior counseling centering on seniors in the small and middle sized cities and farming and fishing villages in which aging is faster than in cities and the welfare of seniors is relatively inferior. For this purpose male and female seniors who are 60 years old and older in the Seosan region of Chungcheongnam-do were selected as the subject of the research, and the materials were collected from April 24th to May 30th of 2009 with 360 male and female seniors who used the social welfare center of Seosan-si and who participated in the job placement business for seniors and who worked at seniors community hall located at Daesan-eup as the subject, and the 345 sheets of questionnaires excluding 7 sheets with insincere answers among the returned 352 sheets were selected as the subject of the final analysis. The summary of the main result of this research is as follows. First, contrary to the fact that 58.5% of the subjects of this research don't know well or at all about the senior counseling, 52.5% answered that the senior counseling is needed or very needed and showed that they felt the necessity though vaguely, and this is interpreted as a result that says the necessity of the education and publicity about the senior counseling. Second, 81.0% of the subjects have never experienced the senior counseling. However even in the case of the 19.0% of the subjects who have experienced counseling the counselors were priests, social workers, public servants and so on and they had no experience of professional counseling and the main contents of counseling were diseases, health and economic problems. Meanwhile, the awareness degree of the senior counseling was higher when the subject was younger and had a job and a spouse and better health, and the necessity of the senior counseling was higher when the subject was younger and had a job and live with only the spouse and had appropriate number of friends and many problems. Third, 57.1% of the subjects answered that they wanted to try a professional counseling thereafter and it was more than triple of the ratio of subjects who answered that they did not want to try it (18.0%). For the reason for hesitating about the counseling 67.2% answered that 'because I don't want to share my problems' and 'because I don't know where and with who I should try the counseling' and it shows that many seniors misunderstand about the counseling that it might violate privacy and don't know exactly about the senior counseling as much. In addition the subjects intended to try a professional counseling more when they had higher academic background and a job and live together with a spouse and had more than 4 children. Fourth, in the general needs about the senior counseling 62.7% hoped for a free counseling by national charge and so on and the preferred place of counseling were their homes (44.4%), counseling organizations for seniors (21.1%) and social welfare centers (19.3%). In addition the preferred counselors were professional counselors for seniors (34.0%) and social workers (34.0%) and this supported the needs of professionalization. The preferred method of counseling was face to face counseling (87.5%) and the preferred age of the counselor were 50s (33.1%) and 'don't care' (22.2%), 40s (21.6%) and 60s (14.6%). About the gender of the counselor, the answers 'don't care' (46.1%) and female (45.8%) were given similarly and the subjects wanted 'a help needed for solving the problem by myself' (29.5%) and 'an active solution' (27.4%) as the result of the counseling and 22.6% of the subjects answered that 'it will be good even when the counselor only listens about my problems' and thereby showed that the needs of an emotional compassion or comfort was great. Finally in the priority of needs classified by counseling factors of the senior counseling, the needs of counseling was high in the order of disease and health, economy, loneliness and so on. Meanwhile, the counseling needs were different for each sector according to the characteristics of seniors. The needs of counseling about disease and health was higher when the subject was with no job and bad health and lived with the spouse in the case that excludes seniors that were parted from their spouses by death. The needs of counseling about economic problems was higher when the subject was with lower level of living and lived alone and was with lower life satisfaction and with more problems. On the contrary the needs of counseling about loneliness was higher when the subject had a job and fewer friends and lived alone and was divorced. However the needs of counseling about hobbies and leisure was rather higher when the subject was with higher academic background and more friends and level of living was higher than the middle level. In addition the needs of counseling about welfare and service was higher when the subject was male and lived with the spouse, and the needs of counseling about property management was higher when the subject was with no religion and older and with better health and higher life satisfaction and less problems. Contrary to the fact that the needs of counseling about marital problems was higher when the subject was with no religion and was younger, the needs of counseling about relationship was higher when the subject was with a job and parted from the spouse by death. The needs of counseling about problems about neighbors or friends was higher when the subject lived with his or her children. This paper presented the following policy suggestions on the basis of the above results for the development of senior counseling and practical deployment. First, the operation of a professional counseling center for seniors under the public system by the country, local governments and so on is needed. Second, it is needed to expand the doors and to raise the degree of use of the senior counseling by strengthening the education and publicity about the senior counseling. Third, the institutionalization and routinization of counseling tour and telephone counseling are demanded in order to let everyone use the senior counseling easily. Fourth, comprehensive professional counselors in their 40s and 60s with counselors in their 50s as the center should be nurtured, and the counseling of seniors by seniors for seniors, that is seniors-seniors counseling should be activated with professional counselors in their 60s as the center. Finally, senior counseling agencies should promote the specialization of the senior counseling by establishing an organic network with professionals or organizations of various fields related to senior issues.
