Abstract

This research investigated the sensory processing ability and selected subjects who had sensory processing problems, and divided the subjects into an experimental group and control group. The experimental group was educated with sensory processing intervention on the activities of daily living to determine its influence on the quality of life. The study was based on 230 university students with similar majors in 3 universities of Chungcheong area in the beginning of May, 2013. From here, 32 subjects who had issues with their sensory processing ability were selected. The 230 students were given a survey on the quality of life, individual characteristics, and sensory processing ability. Later, the 32 subjects who had problems with their sensory processing ability were divided into an experimental group and control group. The control group performed sensory processing intervention, whereas the control group did not. After the sensory processing intervention method for 6 weeks, the quality of life was re-evaluated. As a result, the total score of the quality of life after intervention was 98.69 in the experimental group and 84.81 in the control group (p=0.001). The physical score was 16.43 in the experimental group and 14.64 in the control group (p=0.008). The psychological score was 14.71 in the experimental group and 11.75 in the control group (p<0.001). The social score was 14.67 in the experimental group and 13.17 in the control group (p=0.032). The environment score was 14.66 in the experimental group and 12.34 in the control group (p=0.006). The experimental group showed a significant increase in all areas of the quality of life, whereas the control group did not. Through this result, it can be seen that a sensory processing intervention method in daily life can increase the quality of life for subjects with problems in sensory processing ability. Overall, it will be necessary to apply a treatment of various sensory intervention programs for adults and promote a better quality of life.

본 연구는 대학생의 감각처리능력을 조사하고 그 중 감각처리능력에 문제가 있는 대상을 선별하여 일상생활에서 스스로 실천 할 수 있는 감각처리중재 방법을 교육한 후 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 2013년 5월 초 충청지역에 소재한 3개 대학의 동일 계열 전공 대학생 230명으로 하였다. 230명 모든 대상자에게 감각처리능력, 개인적 특성, 삶의 질에 대해 설문조사를 실시하고 감각처리능력에 문제가 있는 32명의 대상자를 각각 16명씩 실험군과 대조군으로 구분하여, 실험군에게는 감각처리 중재를 실시하고 대조군에게는 중재를 실시하지 않았다. 감각처리 중재 방법을 6주 동안 스스로 시행 한 후 삶의 질을 재평가 하였다. 연구 결과 중재 후 삶의 질 총 점수는 실험군 98.69점, 대조군 84.81점(p=0.001), 신체적 건강 점수는 실험군 16.43점, 대조군 14.64점(p=0.008), 심리적 건강 점수는 실험군 14.71점, 대조군 11.75점(p<0.001), 사회적 점수는 실험군 14.67점, 대조군 13.17점(p=0.032), 생활환경 점수는 실험군 14.66점, 대조군 12.34점(p=0.006)으로 나타났다. 실험군은 삶의 질 모든 영역에서 유의하게 점수가 향상되었고 대조군은 삶의 질에 변화가 없었다. 감각처리 문제를 가진 대상자에게 일상생활에서 실천 가능한 감각처리중재 방법을 교육하는 것이 삶의 질을 향상시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 보인다. 앞으로 성인을 대상으로 하는 감각처리중재 프로그램의 다양한 적용과 삶의 질 향상을 도모해야 할 것이다.
