Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the caregiving stress and depression of spouses who support adults with physical disabilities, calculate the activity of daily living (ADL) of the disabled and determine the correlation of each area and the influence of their ADL on the caregiving stress and depression of spouses. This study was performed on 86 spouses of the disabled who were receiving rehabilitation treatment in two hospitals located in S and K cities from July to August 2016. According to the results, the total caregiving stress scores were $71.43{\pm}17.78$ and the economic and psychological stresses among low items were higher than the other items. The total depression score was $50.34{\pm}26.41$, which was slightly higher than the average of normal adults. The caregiving stress and depression were high for aged women, for cases of high caregiving expense and time, for young disabled and for stroke disease. Factors that affected the caregiving stress were the age of the disabled and the duration of their disability; their ADL had no influence on the caregiving stress. The result showed that the depression affected their age, disabled type and grade, and ADL. Actual policy support capable of giving economic, physical, and psychological assistance should be prepared to reduce caregiving stress and depression.

본 연구의 목적은 성인 신체장애인을 부양하는 배우자의 부양스트레스, 우울, 장애인의 일상생활활동능력을 살펴보고, 각 영역들의 상관관계 및 장애인의 일상생활활동능력이 배우자의 부양스트레스와 우울에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 2016년 7월부터 8월까지 S시와 K도에 소재한 2개의 병원에서 재활치료를 받고 있는 장애인들의 배우자 86명을 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 연구결과 부양스트레스 총점은 $71.43{\pm}17.78$점 이었으며, 부양스트레스 하위항목 중 경제적 스트레스와 심리적 스트레스가 다른 항목보다 높았다. 우울총점은 $50.34{\pm}26.41$점으로, 일반 정상 성인들의 평균점수보다 다소 높았다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 부양스트레스와 우울을 살펴본 결과, 연령이 많은 여성의 경우, 부양비에 대한 지출이 많고 부양시간이 많은 경우, 장애인의 연령이 젊고, 병명이 뇌졸중인 경우 부양스트레스와 우울지수가 높았다. 부양스트레스에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 장애인의 연령, 장애기간으로 나타났으며, 장애인의 일상생활활동능력은 부양스트레스에 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 우울에는 장애인의 연령, 장애유형 및 등급, 장애인의 일상생활활동능력 모두 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 부양가족들의 스트레스 및 우울을 감소시키기 위하여 경제적, 신체적 혹은 심리적으로 도움을 줄 수 있는 실질적인 정책적 지원이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
