This study focuses on efforts for human rights and self-assertive lives of elderly people struggling with long quarantine under
the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to explore and analyze what support strategies care workers are carrying out and what barriers
exist to help the elderly living in nursing homes make 'self-determination' well. Data were collected from 16 workers at two institutions
through an Participatory Action Research(PAR) process consisting of 17 FGI sessions, and the data were analyzed through directed content
analysis. This study proposed 7 frameworks of practice. In the last COVID-19 situation, three factors such as ①Internalization of Extrinsic
Motivation, ② Understanding Preference & Value, ③Close communication based on trust were smoothly implemented, while strategies such
as ④Areas, ⑤Causal Agent, ⑥Providing information and options, ⑦Providing Enough time were not well utilized. Based on the results
of the study, we presented the following policy suggestions. First, it is necessary to establish a system that can support the self-determination
of the elderly living. Second, a friendly culture and environment should be created so that nursing facilities can work more actively. Also
it is emphasized that there is a need for a place to actively discuss the base-line when there is a value that conflicts with self-determination.
