Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate in depth the lived experiences of utilizing supported housing among people with psychiatric disabilities. Phenomenological approach was used for this study. A total of 9 people with psychiatric disabilities were recruited as research participants. Data was collected through in-depth interviews from September, 2016 to March, 2018. Transcribed data from audio recordings on interviews were analyzed using the Colaizzi method. 6 clustered themes consisting of 17 sub-themes emerged through the qualitative data analysis and they include the following: 1) Confusion at site daily residence; 2) Feeling relaxed in supported housing site; 3) Development in self-perception; 4) Undertaking a leading role; 5) Growing capacity for independent living; and 6) Integration into normal life. Study findings suggest that expanding supported housing and improving its quality for people with psychiatric disabilities are needed. Additionally, the field of mental health needs an increase in the number of case managers with expertise in dealing with people suffering from psychiatric disabilities and their recovery.

이 연구의 목적은 정신장애인들의 체험홈 이용 경험을 깊이 있게 연구하고자 현상학적 접근을 활용하였다. 총 9명의 정신장애인들이 연구참여자로 모집되었으며, 2016년 9월부터 2018년 3월에 걸쳐 심층인터뷰를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 모든 자료는 녹음하였으며, 자료는 Colaizzi방법으로 분석하었다. 분석결과 6개의 주제모음, 17개의 하위주제가 도출되었으며, 다음과 같다: 1) 생활터전의 혼란스러움, 2) 체험홈에서 느끼는 여유로움, 3) 나에 대한 인식이 변화함, 4) 주도적인 행동을 선택함, 5) 스스로 살아가는 힘을 키움, 그리고 6) 진정한 삶에 통합함으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 정신장애인을 위한 체험홈 프로그램 확대 및 프로그램 질 향상의 필요성을 제기한다. 이와 더불어, 정신장애인에 대한 정신건강서비스 개입과 회복을 위하여 전문지식을 갖춘 사례관리자 확대가 정신보건영역에서 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
