The purpose of serious game for therapy is not to cure patients directly, but to have them cause psychological change, and get positive treatment will. In this study, we extracted 5 elements to be considered to design efficient serious games for psychological therapy through precedent data's analysis. For verification of the extracted elements, we intensively analyzed 2 elements. Those are 'Re-Mission' of which the effect was already proven, and 'SIMS2' which was designed to get the effect of treatment which patients who may experience difficulties in real-world can obtain in virtual space through previous experiences. As a result, material stability, reality, consistency with characters and self-determination of game progress are applied to all the analyzed games, But interactivity with reality is not applied. However, previous researches and validated questionnaire show that interactivity with reality is appropriate element. Consequently, the results of this study will be important materials in designing more efficient serious games for therapy.

의료용 기능성게임의 효과가 입증되면서 다양한 분야의 투자와 주목을 받고 있다. 이에 따라 사용자를 위하여 의료용 기능성게임의 품질평가가 중요한 이슈가 되었다. 품질평가는 객관적인 기준과 평가요소 개발이 중요하다. 기능성게임의 특성 상 품질평가는 기술적인 영역과 비기술적인 영역으로 나누어 진행된다. 본 연구에서는 의료용 기능성게임의 비기술적인 영역의 품질평가 요소를 개발하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 사용하여 심리 치료와 헬스케어 및 재활치료 2개 분야에 대해 각각 5개의 평가 요소를 추출하였다. 추출 결과는 전문가에 의해 내용 타당도 검사로 신뢰성을 확보했다. 본 연구는 다양한 분야의 기능성게임 품질평가 모델 개발의 가이드라인이 될 것이다.

As the Medical Serious Games are recently proven effective, the quality evaluation of the game has become an important issue. In quality evaluation, objective criteria and evaluation elements are important. Quality evaluation of the serious game is divided into two areas : the technical (from the point of view of Program) and the non-technical (from the point of view of Content). In this study, we developed the quality evaluation element of the non-technical area to the psychotherapy and the health & rehab game according to developing process of quality evaluation model. We extracted five evaluation elements from the two kinds of medical games, and interviewed with medical experts in order to ensure the validity of them. The goodness of fit tests for the elements mentioned above were verified by conducting. Chi-square test results for the two groups did not differ significantly. In conclusion, we expect to take advantage of the results of this study to design and develop serious games for medical treatment.
