다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study intends to identify the problems of care burden and conflict within the family with the demented elderly and to analyze the perception and experience of the family members, and to suggest medical welfare measures. For this, this study attempts to qualitatively analyze two family cases who have experienced changes in family functioning and conflict in care for their demented parents. The analysis of two family cases shows the following findings. The roles of family members about the care for demented parents is distributed on the basis of practicaily of their situation and position, not on traditional Confucian values and practices. And the care problem of demented elderly should be solved by the establishment of realistic measures considering the current family type and social role status of women, not by replacing it with internal matter of the family or not by emphasizing traditional Confucian values and practices to the members of society.
