Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing the acceptance of disabilities among adults with acquired disabilities based on ecological theory, utilizing raw data from the 4th Disability and Life Dynamics Panel in 2021. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that individual factors such as 'gender,' 'type of disability,' 'severity of disability,' 'marital status,' 'education,' 'employment status,' 'depression,' 'self-esteem,' and 'overall health in the past six months,' interpersonal factors like 'emotional support and assistance,' and organizational and environmental factors including the 'level of difficulty in using disability-related services' and 'overall satisfaction with disability welfare services' were found to impact the acceptance of disabilities among adults with acquired disabilities. Based on these research findings, it is suggested that efforts in the community to enhance the acceptance of disabilities among adults with acquired disabilities should go beyond individual dimensions, increasing opportunities for social interactions and fostering a disability-friendly environment.

본 연구는 제4차 장애인삶 패널조사(2021년)의 원시자료를 활용하여 생태학적 이론에 근거하여 성인 중도장애인의 장애수용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 위계적 다중회귀분석을 시행한 결과, 개인적 요인은 성별, 장애유형, 장애정도, 혼인상태, 학력, 일자리 유무, 우울, 자아존중감, 지난 6개월간 전반적인 건강상태, 개인 간 요인으로는 정서적 도움 및 지지, 조직·환경적 요인은 장애인관련 서비스이용의 어려움 정도, 장애인복지서비스 전반적 만족도가 성인 중도장애인의 장애수용에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로, 성인 중도장애인의 장애수용을 높이기 위해서는 개인적 차원을 넘어 사회적 상호작용의 기회를 높이고, 장애인 친화 환경을 조성하는 지역사회의 노력이 필요함을 제언한다.
