Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to compare sensory processing ability by smartphone addiction levels in preschool children, and to investigate the correlation between smartphone addiction level and sensory processing ability within smartphone addiction group. Method : The subjects of this study were 324 persons, with 124 persons in the addiction group and 200 in the normal user group. Measurements in this study were a questionnaire about general characteristics of subject, smartphone addiction scale, and short sensory profile. Methods for the data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Pearson correlation analysis of SPSS 22.0. Results : There was a significant difference in the total Short Sensory Profile (SSP) score and in all sub-domains between the addiction and normal use groups (p<0.05). In the smartphone addiction group, there was a negative correlation between the SSP total score (r=-.278), auditory filtering (r=-.293), visual/auditory sensitivity (r=-.393) and smartphone addiction level. Conclusion : This study confirmed that there was a difference in smartphone addiction and sensory processing ability between the preschool children addiction and normal use groups. It has been proven that there is an interrelationship between sensory processing ability and smartphone addiction in the addiction group. It is significant in that it provides basic data to prevent smartphone addiction.

목적 : 본 연구는 스마트폰 중독군 아동과 스마트폰 정상사용군 아동의 감각처리능력을 비교하고, 중독군 아동의 스마트폰 중독과 감각처리능력과의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 본 연구의 대상자는 3~6세 아동 324명이었다. 연구도구는 스마트폰 중독군과 정상사용군을 구분하기 위해 유아동 스마트폰 중독 관찰자 척도를 사용하였고, 감각처리능력을 측정하기 위해 단축감각 프로파일을 사용하였다. 분석방법은 스마트폰 중독군과 정상사용군의 감각처리능력을 비교하기 위해 독립표본 t-test, 중독군에서의 스마트폰 중독과 감각처리능력과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 Pearson 상관분석을 사용하였다. 결과 : 스마트폰 중독군과 스마트폰 정상사용군은 감각처리능력 중 촉각 민감성(p=.020), 맛/냄새 민감성(p=.021), 움직임 민감성(p=.042), 과소반응/특정자극 찾는 행동(p=.000), 청각 여과하기(p=.000), 활력이 부족하고 허약함(p=.000), 시각/청각민감성(p=.000), 총점(p=.000)에서 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 스마트폰 중독군은 감각처리 영역 중 청각여과하기(r=-.293), 시각/청각민감성(r=-.393)과 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 결론 : 3~6세 학령전기 아동의 스마트폰 중독은 스마트폰 정상사용군과 감각처리능력에 차이가 있었고, 스마트폰 중독은 감각처리능력과 상관관계가 있는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 스마트폰 중독 아동의 감각처리 특성과 스마트폰 중독 예방을 위한 기초자료를 제공하였다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다.
