Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore practical intervention strategies by identifying the relationships among digital informatization capacity, level of digital informatization accessability and life satisfaction of disabled people and to determine differences among these relationships depending on perceived level of social support networks. The participants were 1,639 disabled people from the 2017 digital information gap survey and the results, based on structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis, are as follows. First, digital informatization capacity has a positive influence on the level of digital informatization accessability(β=.65), and life satisfaction(β=.08). The level of digital informatization accessability also has positive influence on life satisfaction(β=.44). Second, the analysis result of the mediated effects of digital informatization accessability level between digital informatization capacity and life satisfaction was significant at a level (β=.29) even greater than the direct effect of digital informatization capacity on life satisfaction. Third, digital information capacity and digital informatization accessability have an influence on life satisfaction regardless of their perceived level of social support. The findings suggest that creating online environments where disabled people can enjoy leisure, culture, and social interaction with high accessibility and utility are as important as providing education for improving their digital informatization capacity.

본 연구의 목적은 장애인의 디지털정보화역량, 디지털정보화활용 수준, 일상생활만족도 간 구조적 관계를 탐색하고, 지각된 사회적 지지망 수준에 따라 구조적 관계에 차이가 있는지 확인하는 것이다. 2017년도 디지털정보격차 실태조사의 장애인 표본 데이터의 1,639명이 분석 대상이며, 구조방정식 모형 분석 방법과 다집단 분석 방법을 활용하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 디지털정보화역량은 디지털정보화활용 수준(β=.65), 일상생활만족도(β=.08)에 직접적으로 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 그리고 디지털정보화활용 수준 또한 일상생활만족도(β=.44)에 직접적으로 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 장애인의 디지털정보화역량이 디지털정보화활용 수준을 매개로 일상생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 간접효과(β=.29)가 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 확인되었으며, 직접효과보다 간접효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 장애인의 지각된 사회적 지지망 수준에 관계없이 디지털정보화역량, 디지털정보화활용 수준은 일상생활만족도에 유사한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 장애인의 일상생활만족도를 높이기 위해서는 디지털정보화역량 향상을 위한 교육도 중요하지만, 장애인이 디지털 기기를 활용하여 여가생활, 문화생활, 사회적 상호작용, 사회참여 등이 가능한 접근성과 활용성이 높은 디지털 및 온라인 환경을 조성해 주는 것이 필요함을 시사한다.
