This study is aimed at analyzing the installation status and characteristics of a patient's room by facility
size using public data of 'Evaluation Results of Long-term Nursing Home for the Elderly.' This study
utilized 'Evaluation Results of a Long-term Nursing Home for the Elderly' by the National Health Insurance
Corporation. In addition, this study surveyed the outline of the 36 facilities selected in the light of the
evaluation grade and facility size, and considered the installation status and characteristics of a nursing
home for the elderly through the analysis of the frequency and ratio of the type of patient’s rooms. The
analysis result showed that 88.6% on an average of the large-scaled facilities of more than 30-patients have
installed a 4-patient sickroom, and in case of an intermediate-scaled facility of less than 10~30 patients, its
ratio of installation of 3-patients sickroom was high. Even in case of a small-scaled facility of less than 10 patients, the ratio of 1-patient sickroom installation was found to be very low while the frequency of
3-patient sickroom installation was high. Through this research, this study could confirm that the installation
ratio of multi-patients sickroom in Korea was high. This is regarded as the result attributable to economic
efficiency of the main entity of facility installation; however, it's required that there should be arrangement
of support policies and standards in time of facility installation so that a user can have a wider range of
choices of a patient's room, and various research works for environmental development of user-centered
nursing facilities.
