The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of enabling factors on the preference of care type among the elderly. The types of caring for the elderly were classified into self-care, family care, and institutional care according to the care provider. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze from survey data of 2,064 elderly people in Korea.
The results of the study were as follows: As a result of analyzing the factors affecting the preference of care type, the common enabling factors that play a major role in deciding the care type preference of the elderly were the number of family members living together and social network. The presence of a spouse, the number of family members living together, and the social network were identified as the factors that distinguish between family care preference and self- care preference. Also, the presence of a spouse, the number of family members living together, social support, and social network distinguish between family care preference and institutional care preference. Finally, the number of family members living together, the residential area, and the social network were identified as the factors that distinguished self-care preference and institutional care preference. Based on the findings of this study, policy implications for the systematic and effective design of community care policy were suggested.
