Abstract

|
|
This study is a qualitative study applied with in-depth interviews and phenomenological analysis. The objective of this study was finding out the function of the elder protection agency by interpreting the meaning developed from the experience of the workers about the role of the elder protective service agency. As a result of the analysis, the essential themes were ‘Struggling and working hard’, ‘Obstacles that cannot be lifted’, and ‘Reaching the time to be reborn as an organization for the elderly human rights.’ The common essence of these themes is ‘The road to human rights orientation: a destination that must be reached, though not easy to go.’ In order for the meanings to be settled and to fit in to the community, it was suggested it is a situation in which both internal and external renewal of the institution for the protection of the elderly is most needed. In addition, much as it turned out that legal and institutional support must be provided so that the elder protection agency can be reborn as human rights organizations with more professionalism, it was proposed to follow the institutional improvement plan derived from this study.
