Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the application of hand washing education program for the children with intellectual disability on hand washing frequency and methods during COVID-19 Pandemic. Subjects were 14 children with intellectual disability and they participated in the program using visual video materials. Hand washing education program was consisted of introduction, theory education, and practice and it performed 2 times a week, total 16 sessions during 8 weeks. Hand washing theory education was consisted about the importance and application of hand washing, proper hand washing steps and methods, use of hand washing tools, use of hand sanitizers including characteristics, and prevention of skin damage from hand washing. Hand washing assessment was used by hand washing frequence and methods observation report. Hand washing frequency was measured by the hand washing frequency during the daily routine and it was analyzed by the items divided into day and month units. Hand washing methods was measured by the items divided into use of hand washing tools, time, areas, drying methods after hand washing. As the results, after hand washing education program, the hand washing frequence was increased and hand washing methods were improved. Hand washing is much important as a active method to prevent the infection during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Thus, based on this findings, the application of hand washing education program should be considered to increase the hand washing frequency and improve the hand washing methods of the children with intellectual disability.

본 연구의 목적은 코로나-19 확산 속에서 손 씻기 교육 프로그램 적용이 지적장애 아동들의 손 씻기 빈도와 방법에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 있다. 연구대상은 지적장애 아동 14명이며, 시각적 영상 자료를 활용한 손 씻기 교육에 참여하였다. 손 씻기 교육 프로그램은 소개, 이론교육, 실습으로 구성되었으며, 매주 2회로 16회기, 총 8주간 실시하였다. 손 씻기 이론교육은 손 씻기 중요성과 적응증, 올바른 손 씻기 단계와 방법, 손 씻기 도구 사용방법, 그리고 손 소독제 특성을 포함한 손 소독제 사용방법, 손 씻기로 인한 피부 손상 예방으로 구성되었다. 손 씻기 평가는 손 씻기 빈도와 방법 관찰 기록지를 활용하여 실시되었다. 손 씻기 빈도는 일상생활의 일과 중에서 손을 씻는 빈도를 평가하였으며, 일별, 월별 빈도를 분석하였다. 손 씻는 방법은 손 씻는 도구사용, 시간, 부위, 손 씻은 후 건조방법으로 구분하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 손 씻기 교육 프로그램 적용 후 대상자들의 손 씻는 빈도가 증가하였고, 손 씻는 방법도 향상되었다. 코로나-19 확산 속에서 적극적인 감염예방 방법으로 손 씻기는 매우 중요하다. 따라서, 본 연구결과를 토대로, 지적장애 아동들의 손 씻기 빈도를 증가시키고, 손 씻기 방법을 향상시키기 위해서 손 씩기 교육의 적용을 고려해야 할 것이다.
