초록

목적 : 본 연구는 COVID-19 발생 상황에서 장애아동 부모의 일반적 특성에 따른 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 삶의 질을 알아보고 이에 따라 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 삶의 질 간의 관련성을 알아보고자 한다. 연구방법 : 2022년 2월 21일부터 3월 21일까지 경상지역 3개의 광역도시에 소재한 장애인 복지관, 재활병원, 아동발달센터에서 치료 서비스를 이용하고 있는 만 13세 미만 장애아동 자녀를 둔 부모 242명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 결과 : 장애아동 부모의 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 삶의 질의 상관관계를 확인한 결과 삶의 질은 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 음의 상관관계로 나타났다. 장애아동 부모의 일반적 특성에 따른 결과 스트레스는 교육 수준, 월 소득에서 유의미한 차이가 있었고 불안은 자녀양육시간, 교육 수준, 직업 유무, 교통수단, 월 소득에서 유의한 차이가 있었으며 우울과 삶의 질은 자녀양육시간, 교육 수준, 직업 유무, 월 소득에서 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 결론 : 장애아동 부모의 일반적 특성에 따른 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 삶의 질의 관련성을 확인하였다. 장애아동의 사회적 거리두기 및 방역수칙은 장애아동의 교육과 치료의 기회를 제한시켰고 이로 인해 다양한 어려움을 가지는 장애아동을 양육하는 부모의 스트레스, 불안 및 우울에 미친 영향을 고려해 볼 수 있다. COVID-19 발생 상황 뿐만 아니라 또 다른 재난 상황을 대비하여 장애아동 부모의 스트레스, 불안, 우울을 관리하고 삶의 질을 증진 시킬 수 있는 지원 서비스 개발의 기초 자료로 제공하는데 의의를 갖는다.

Methods : The subjects were 242 parents of children with disabilities under the age of 13 receiving treatment at rehabilitation centers for the disabled, rehabilitation hospitals, and child development centers located in D, B, and U metropolitan cities. Results : According to the result of analyzing the correlation between stress, anxiety, and depression that the parents of children with disabilities felt and the quality of their lives, the quality of their lives correlated negative with their stress, anxiety, and depression. In the case of the results according to the parents' general characteristics, stress showed a significant difference depending on the education level, monthly income, and anxiety showed a significant difference depending on child rearing time, occupation, and public transportation. Additionally, depression and the quality of life had a significant difference depending on child rearing time, education level, occupation, and monthly income. Conclusion : The results of this study identified the importance of the mental health of the parents of children with disabilities and the correlation between their mental health and quality of life. Social distancing and quarantine rules that children with disabilities must follow have limited their opportunities to receive education and treatment, so the influence of stress, anxiety, depression that the parents of children with disabilities who should continue to take care of their children should be considered.
