“…Among predisposition factors, age was associated only with KPE’s intention to use LTC facilities. Older KPEs are more likely to intend to use LTC facilities as indicated by early studies with older Asian adults (McCormick et al 2002; Min 2005). The non-significant finding on age in the KBB may be in line with our finding from bivariate analysis; KPE reported a significantly higher intention to use LTC facilities than KBB.…”

“…Socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, education, and income have been often been examined as predictors for intention to use LTC facilities. Higher education appears to be consistently associated with intention to use LTC facilities (e.g., Gupta 2002; McCormick et al 2002; Min 2005; Hong 2012). However, findings about other factors are inconsistent.…”

“…For example, McCormick et al (2002) found being older was associated with higher intention to use LTC facilities, whereas Kim and Kim (2004) found being younger was associated with intention to use LTC facilities. In addition, some studies found that being a woman was associated with intention to use LTC facilities (e.g., Min 2005; Hong 2012) even though some evidence suggested non-significant relationships between them (e.g., Kim and Kim 2004). Empirical evidence about income also offered mixed results.…”

With the rapidly increasing number of older adults, dealing with long-term care (LTC) needs becomes an emerging issue in South Korea. This study aims to examine factors affecting the intention to use longtermcare facilities with two groups of young-old adults: (1) Korean pre-elderly (KPE) and (2) Korean babyboomers (KBB). Guided by Andersen’s behavioral model of health service use and prior research, predisposing characters, enabling resources, need factors, availabilities of informal care and self-care activities were used as predictors. In the final analyses, 803 KPE and 966 KBB were included. The results of logistic regression analyses showed different findings in two groups. Age, education, spouse's physicalhealth, and self-care activities for relationship with family and friends are significantly associated with intention to use LTC facilities among KPE. However, income, physical health of respondents, and relationship satisfaction with children are significantly related to intention of use LTC facilities in the group of KBB. This study suggests different LTC needs between KPE and KBB. Health care professionals and policy makers need to consider such differences to provide quality LTC care for them.

“…More specifically, some researchers suggested that older adults' and their caregivers' attitudes influence decisions on LTC service use (Kim, 2004;Logan & Spitz, 1994;Song, 2003). For example, Min (2005) discovered a strong connection between LTC service use and attitude on care responsibility. He demonstrated that older Korean Americans with traditional values emphasizing filial piety or family care responsibility were less likely to choose formal LTC services over informal care arrangements than those with less traditional attitudes.…”

This study examined predictors of older adults' and primary caregivers' willingness to use formal long-term care (LTC) services to understand possible use patterns of mandatory public LTC insurance programs in Korea. It focused on views regarding who (adult children or the government) should bear the responsibility for older adults' care. Logistic regression models were estimated using data from 1,168 older Korean adults aged 65 or older and their primary caregivers from a national survey. The results showed that older adults' and their caregivers' views on care responsibility were a dominant predictor of their willingness to use both formal home care services and nursing home care services. Both older adults and their family caregivers' willingness to use LTC services should be considered when predicting demand for LTC services. Efforts should promote the perspective that formal LTC services are an acceptable social norm.

“…In addition, despite the large sample size, nearly 90% of the caregivers were White in this study. Ethnic minority caregivers differ greatly in the experience of caregiving (Chun et al, 2007) and research has consistently found lower levels of access to formal services among minority caregivers (Min, 2005). Thus, it is necessary to examine service accessibility and caregiving experiences among the minority population.…”

Caregiver Stress: Does States’ Expenditure on Home- and Community-Based Services Matter?

This study examined how state expenditure on home- and community-based services (HCBS) and individual factors are associated with caregiver stress. A total of 1,849 cases from the 2004 National Long-Term Care Survey were included. Gender, education, perceived physical strain, and economic hardship, as well as the number of limitations in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) for the care recipient, were associated with caregiver stress. The cross-level interaction between service utilization and state expenditure on HCBS was significant, suggesting that living in states with a higher expenditure on HCBS is associated with reduced stress regardless of service utilization.
