Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the association between satisfaction with assistive technology devices and psychosocial impact among some mentally or physically disabled children. Methods: The study subjects were 120 disabled children and their primary caregivers who were using rental assistive technology devices in Gwangju and Jeollanam-Do. Data were collected by structured questionnaire composed of general characteristics of subjects, characteristics related with using assistive devices. Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with assistive Technology 2.0 (QUEST 2.0) and Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Device Scale (PIADS). The statistical analysis were performed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlational analysis. Results: The total mean score for QUEST 2.0 was $4.08{\pm}0.66$ (satisfaction with devices, $4.01{\pm}0.70$; satisfaction with the assistive devices service, $4.14{\pm}0.90$) and the mean of PIADS was $1.00{\pm}0.75$ (ability, $0.99{\pm}0.78$; adaptability, $1.04{\pm}0.86$; self-respect, $0.99{\pm}0.74$). The scores of PIADS was statistically significant difference according to usage time of assistive devices. The PIADS was significantly positive correlated with QUEST 2.0 Conclusions: The mentally or physically disabled children reported that the higher level of satisfaction and the more positive impact of psychosocial aspect with assistive technology devices. It would be necessary to perform further studies for addressing the effects of assistive technology devices.

본 연구는 장애인 보조기기 렌탈서비스를 이용하는 뇌병변 및 지체 장애아의 보조공학기기 사용 만족도와 심리사회적 영향과의 관련성을 알아보고자 수행하였다. 연구의 대상은 광주광역시와 전라남도 지역에서 2011년부터 2015년 5월까지 장애인 보조기기 렌탈서비스를 이용하고 있는 뇌병변 및 지체 장애아 120명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 통해 이용 장애아의 일반적 특성, 보조공학기기 사용실태와 만족도, 심리사회적인 영향 정도를 조사하였다. 분석방법으로 빈도와 백분율, 평균과 표준편차를 이용하여 결과를 제시하였으며, 대상자의 특성에 따른 보조공학기기 사용 만족도와 심리사회적인 영향 비교는 t-검정과 분산분석을 이용하여 알아보았고, 보조공학기기 사용 만족도와 심리사회적인 영향과의 관련성은 피어슨 상관관계 분석을 실시하여 파악하였다. 연구결과 보조 공학기기 전체 만족도 점수는 $4.08{\pm}0.66$점이었고, 하위영역인 보조기기 만족도 점수는 $4.01{\pm}0.70$점, 서비스 만족도 점수는 $4.14{\pm}0.90$이었다. 장애아의 심리사회적인 영향은 하위영역인 자기욕구 실현능력 $0.99{\pm}0.78$점, 적응력 $1.04{\pm}0.86$점, 자존감 $0.99{\pm}0.74$점이었고, 전체 점수 평균은 $1.00{\pm}0.75$점이었다. 보조공학기기 사용 만족도는 장애아의 건강상태, 주양육자의 학력과 보조공학기기 사용시간에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 장애아의 심리사회적 영향은 보조공학기기 사용시간에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 보조공학기기 사용 만족도와 심리사회적인 영향은 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다(단순상관; r=.503, p<.001 vs. 편상관; r=.440, p<0.001). 결론적으로 본 연구에서는 뇌병변 및 지체 장애인에게 보조공학기기 사용 만족도와 심리사회적인 영향과는 상관성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 향후 국내 보조공학기기의 효과적인 보급과 활성화를 위해 더 광범위한 장애유형과 서비스 영역을 대상으로 한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.
