Objective: The disabled are in a blind spot for obtaining information on drugs, and the pharmacies' counseling on drug use is centered on non-disabled people. Few studies have investigated the current statuses of drug use by type of disability. The purpose of this study is to understand the drug use by type of disability and by life cycle of visually impaired and hearing impaired in Korea. Methods: The study participants consisted of 16 people with visually impairments, 12 people with hearing impairments. One in-depth interview was conducted per participant, and each interview was recorded and documented. Results: Common barriers against safe medication and medical service uses across disability types are 'lack of consideration and service for the disabled, limited access to medical facilities due to disability, limited access to information regarding medication use, psychological anxiety about drug use and side effects, and inconvenience regarding COVID-19 epidemic. The specific factors were 'difficulties in identifying proper medicines and following prescribed dosages' in the case of visually impaired, and 'problems with sign language interpretation system' for the hearing impaired. Conclusion: Disabled people are hindered from using medicines properly due to various factors. Based on the content derived from this study, it is necessary to eliminate the inhibition factors and devise specific measures for the safety of each type of disorder such as developing a method for medication counseling considering disabilities and establishing communication support systems.

The object of this study is to explore the attitudes of occupational therapy students and "general students" (who study in different areas other than occupational therapy) towards people with disabilities, and to examine the causing factors of positive and negative attitudes toward people with disabilities by using Disability Factor Scales (DFS). According to the result of the study using the Disability Factor Scales (DFS), it indicates that the attitudes of the occupational therapy students were more positive than those of "general students" from other departments. In the case of score differences among occupational therapy students by class standing, seniors who experienced clinical practice showed a less favorable attitude toward the disabled than freshmen, so it is necessary to develop clinical practice and an occupational therapy curricula that incorporate patient-centered treatment rather than therapist-centered education with simple physical contact or illness problems.

A personal mobility withstanding function for the disabled and vulnerable groups with difficulties in mobility was developed and structural and dynamics analysis was conducted. Personal mobility devices are a very helpful means of transportation for the disabled and vulnerable groups. In addition, the standing function allows individuals to perform a difficult task in while seated and offers a medical advantage to the user. In this study, a personal mobility device was designed and developed to help vulnerable groups and disabled people overcome limited mobility, and communicate with the general people at eye level through standing functions. Through structural and dynamic analysis, the structural safety, optimal speed during rotation, and lateral acceleration of the personal mobility device was analyzed. The analysis results are expected to contribute to the improvement of the users' convenience and stability of personal mobility.

본 연구는 인터넷을 활용하는 장애인과 그렇지 않은 장애인의 삶의 만족도에 차이가 있는지를 실증적으로 알아보고, 장애인의 정보 활용 유무와 같은 격차에 있어 성별, 연령과 같은 개인별 특성이 삶의 만족도에 차이를 나타나는지를 교차항(interaction term)분석을 통해서 추가적으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 이는 기존에 주로 연구되었던 장애인과 비장애인의 디지털 격차 및 정보 활용 형태의 차이를 알아보는 것에서 더 나아가 장애인 그룹 내에서의 정보 활용 격차라고 하는 발전된 형태의 디지털격차의 개념을 적용해 보고자 한 것이다. 연구결과, 장애인의 정보 활용 여부는 이들의 삶의 질에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 인터넷을 사용 활용하는 장애인의 삶의 만족도는 이들의 교육수준, 사는 지역, 장애 정도에 의해 영향을 받는다는 사실을 발견하였다. 이러한 결과들은 현재 진행 중인 장애인 대상 디지털 격차해소 정책에 대한 시각을 넓혀 보다 확장된 형태의 디지털 격차해소 정책의 방향을 제시하는 정책적 함의를 포함하고 있다.

This paper proposes a new device for a portable braille device using Atmega128 and solenoid magnets. This braille device is composed of three panels, and each panel has six solenoid dots. This device aims to help the disabled people who cannot communicate with others. As an application example, when a disabled people approach a traffic light, it sends a message via Bluetooth to the proposed device letting people recognize a dangerous area. The message converted from the database is based on standard braille chart.

This study investigated the extend to which the facilities satisfactorily accommodate people with different disabilities and their specific needs for improving the facilities. Systematic interviews were conducted with 90 disabled people using the non-propertionate stratified cluster random sampling method. Frequency analysis, Chi-square tests, Duncan tests, and analysis of variance(ANOVA) were employed for data analysis. The findings indicated that the respondents' assessment of accommodations and needs for improving accommodations differed by the type of disabilities. People with physical disabilities were the least satisfied with stairs, followed by seating in stadiums and/or theaters. For people with visual disabilities, the lack of guidance and information facilities was the most difficult problem. People with hearing disabilities often pointed out difficulties in using public telephones. meanwhile, people with physical disabilities asked for easy access to assistive devices and improved mobility-related circumstances. yet people with visual disabilities expected to improve way-finding relevant issues, such as detectable warnings on walking surfaces and guidance and information facilities, whereas people with hearing disabilities desired to develop hearing-aid equipments, such as TDD and assistive listening systems.

우리나라 등록 장애인은 선천적 장애보다 후천적 사고 등으로 인해 발생되는 경우가 더 많은 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 현상은 앞으로 지속되어 후천적 장애로 인한 발생률이 더욱 증가할 것이다. 이러한 변화가 두드러지게 나타나고 있음에도 불구하고 장애인에 대한 사회적 인식은 여전히 부정적이다. 특히, 대학생은 생애주기별 발달에 따라 성인기 초기라 할 수 있는데, 이 시기는 다양한 대인관계와 획일화된 틀에서 벗어나 다양한 분야에서 활동하고, 대학 교육에서 배운 지식과 기술을 가지고 자기 자신만의 생각과 이념을 정립해 가는 시기이다. 따라서 사회에 진입하기 바로 전 시기인 대학생들의 장애인에 대한 인식을 알아보고 부정적인 편견이나 태도를 가지고 있으면 그것을 긍정적인 태도로 개선시킬 방안을 찾아보고자 한다. 연구의 대상은 충청도지역 13곳의 대학교를 방문하여 무작위로 설문을 조사하여 총 250명의 설문 중 235명의 설문을 대상으로 선정하였고, SPSS(ver. 18.0)프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석기법으로는 연구대상의 인구사회학적 특성을 파악하기 위한 빈도분석 및 기술통계, 신뢰도 분석, 태도의 차이를 알아보기 위해 t-test와 one-way ANOVA를 실시하였다. 결론적으로 일시적이고 이벤트적인 교육이 아닌 올바른 정보 및 지식, 인권, 장애, 다양성 등에 대한 긍정적 인식과 태도를 기를 수 있도록 해야 한다. 본 논문은 지역이 한정되어 있어 전국의 대학생으로 일반화하기 힘들다는 한계점을 가진다.

This study examines a pattern of family caregiving and its effect on life satisfaction of disabled elderly people. Data were gathered through the use of face-to-face interview method from a sample of 135 elderly aged over 60. One-third of the elderly respondents have no family caregiver. Most of caregivers provide routine household chores and physical help, but persnal care such as bathing and changing clothes was taken by elderly people themselves. The caregiver in an elderly couple is most likely the wife. When a spouse is unavailable, daughters-in law usually assume the role of a primary caregiver. Sex difference has been found in the most comfortable caregiver for the elderly. The most comfortable caregiver for the elderly men is shown to be their spouse, whereas the one for the elderly women is show to be their daughter-in-law. Most of the disabled elderly are emotionally dependent on their son(usually their eldest son), but physically dependent on their spouse, daughter-in-law, or daughter. The caregivers are dominated by women. Among those elderly receiving care from their children, the relationship between the aged their caregiver is found to be closer than the past when the aged were healthy: however, this relationship is found to be almost the same as the past among those elderly receiving care from their spouse. Finally, the degree of family solidarity, satisfaction with received cares, and the relationship with caregivers are found to be closely related to life satisfaction of the elderly respondents.
