Abstract

This study attempts to suggest a theoretical basic frame that is needed for nursing intervention regarding the sexual experiences of the mentally disabled. The data were collected through a series of interviews with 14 participants. With permission of the mentally disabled, the interviews were recorded and transcribed. The data were analyzed using the framework of grounded theory mapped out by Strauss & Corbin(1998). The following 3 theories were confirmed on the basis of repetitive relations: becoming nest type, exercising self-restraint type, getting tangled type. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a realistic sex education that is relevant to hospital, community mental health center, and culture. The nurse is required to activily participate in educating the mentally disabled with a diverse approach to instill and nurture the sober perspective about sex such as the pleasure, life, intimacy based on sexual equality.

본 연구는 정신장애인의 성경험에 대한 간호중재를 개발하기 위한 이론적 토대를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 사전동의서를 받고 정신장애인 14명의 인터뷰를 Strauss & Corbin(1998)의 근거이론방법에 의해 분석하였다. 정신장애인의 고립감, 성욕으로부터 탈출함의 만족도는 맥락인 대상자의 태도, 경제력 및 다스림과 중재상황인 파트너, 엮어짐 및 연속성에 따라서 둥지형, 절제형, 엉킴형의 3가지 유형이 나타났다. 따라서 정신장애인의 성경험은 자신의 몸이 존재하는 공간으로써의 현실을 인지하는 것으로 이들의 성문제에 대한 전문가 개입의 현실을 파악하여 앞으로 전문가역할을 활발히 하기 위한 방안을 모색해야 할 것이다.
