Abstract

Beach lifeguards in Korea are unprepared to perform the rescue and safety management for individuals with disabilities. There is no lifeguard training that offers information regarding the rescue of individuals with disabilities. The purpose of the study was to conduct literature review and determine significant issues related to beach lifeguard and provide suggestions for lifeguard training programs and water safety for individuals with disabilities. Databases (i.e., CINAHL Plus with Full Text, ERIC, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus with Full Text) were used to search research articles and organizational documents. To find relevant documents, search terms such as water safety, lifeguard, drown prevention were used. Data were content analyzed to identify key issues. Based on the literature review, five critical issues regarding rescue of individuals with disabilities, drown prevention, and water safety were drawn and discussed in the article.

한국의 해양 라이프가드들은 아직 장애인을 위한 구조 및 안전 관리를 수행할 준비가 되어있지 않다. 더욱이 대부분의 라이프가드 훈련들이 장애인 구조에 관한 정보 혹은 훈련이 제공되지 않고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 문헌 검토를 실시하여 장애인을 위한 해양 라이프가드, 수상 안전관리와 관련하여 주요 이슈와 문제점을 찾아내는 데 있다. 데이터베이스(e.g., CINAHL Plus with Full Text, ERIC, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus with Full Text)를 사용하여 연구논문과 해양안전과 관련한 국가/민간단체들의 문서들을 검색하였다. 사용된 검색어 혹은 키워드는 물 안전, 구조 요원, 익사 방지 등이 있었다. 주요 이슈를 파악하기 위해 수집된 문서내용을 분석(내용 분석법)을 실시하였다. 결과는 내용분석결과를 토대로 장애인 구조(rescue), 익사방지 및 수상안전과 관련된 중요한 다섯 가지 이슈들을 도출할 수 있었다.
