Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the caregiver's educational needs for health care of children with intellectual disability in Mongolia. Data were collected from 150 family caregivers of children with disability in Mongolia between September 30 and October 31, 2017. The questionnaire included a scale for health care education needs in the form of 10 categories, 35 items, 5-point Likert's type. The mean score of educational needs of the primary caregiver were $4.05{\pm}0.65$. The category of information and knowledge acquisition showed the highest score ($4.48{\pm}0.57$). There were statistically significant differences in educational needs of the caregiver according to monthly income (F=7.07, p<.001), presence of a secondary caregiver (t=-2.70, p=.008), other disabled children status (t=2.02, p=.046), occupation status of disabled child's mother (F=3.87, p=.023), and multiple handicaps of caring child (t=-2.60, p=.010). The findings on caregiver's educational needs in this study can help inform planning of caregiving support services for children with intellectual disability in Mongolia.

이 연구는 몽골 지적장애아 주양육자의 교육요구를 확인하기 위하여 수행되었다. 자료는 2017년 10월 25일부터 11월 30일까지 150명의 지적장애아동의 주양육자를 대상으로 수집되었다. 설문지는 10개의 범주에 35개 문항으로 구성되었다. 주양육자의 평균 교육요구도는 $4.05{\pm}0.65$점이었다. 정보와 지식습득 범주에서의 건강관련 교육요구도가 가장 높았다($4.48{\pm}0.57$). 주양육자의 교육요구도는 월 소득수준(F=7.07, p<.001), 보조양육자의 유무(t=-2.70, p=.008), 돌봐야 하는 추가 장애아동 유무(t=2.02, p=.046), 장애아동 어머니의 직업 유무(F=3.87, p=.023), 장애아동의 중복장애 유무(t=-2.60, p=.010)에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 본 연구결과는 몽골의 지적장애아동 주양육자 지원 프로그램 개발 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.
