The purpose of this study was to identify the psychometric properties of the vocational ability scale used in the 8th Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled in Korea by using the Rasch model. The sample data was collected from 398 individuals with intellectual disabilities. Item fitness, item difficulty, the appropriateness of the rating scale, and the separation index of the vocational ability scale were evaluated. All 15 items show an appropriate fitness level. The analysis of item difficulty indicate that modifications are required. Specifically, the need for the addition of less difficult question items is identified. The use of a 5-point rating scale is shown to decrease the test difficulty in terms of clarity and readability when appropriate and a 4-point modification is also determined as appropriate. With respect to the outcomes of the analysis, the person separation reliability value and separation index are high, and the reliability of the items is also high.

Objectives: This study investigated the need for nutrition education aimed at improving the health of residents and users of social welfare facilities for persons with disability and aimed to provide basic information for developing a nutrition education program that meets the needs of the field. Methods: Altogether, 249 employees working in social welfare facilities for people with disabilities were included in the study. Data on the health status of residents/users, meal management, nutritional education, nutritional education needs, and awareness of nutritional education were obtained through online surveys. A descriptive analysis was conducted to analyze the demographic characteristics, needs, and perceptions of the respondents, and independent t-tests and χ² tests were performed to analyze and compare the differences between residential and daycare facilities. Results: The majority of residents/users of social welfare facilities for persons with disabilities have developmental disabilities. When educating residents with residents/users of social welfare facilities, 'personal hygiene' was the most necessary topic, followed by 'obesity management' education. Regarding the methods of providing education, face-to-face lectures demonstrated a high demand. They responded that when nutrition education experts provide nutrition education to people with disabilities, they must understand 'the physical characteristics of persons with disabilities' and have the ability to determine appropriate nutrition for such people. The most appropriate nutrition program training would be twice a year, lasting 30 min to 1 h per training session. Conclusions: It will present a direction for operating a nutrition education program for persons with disabilities that meets their needs of social welfare facilities and ultimately contribute to the establishment and activation of nutrition education tailored to welfare facilities for such individuals in Korea.

본 연구에서는 임상에서 재활을 담당하는 물리치료사가 장애인에 대해 갖고 있는 사회적 거리감을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 경기지역 8곳을 선정하여 146명을 대상으로 하였으며, 성별, 연령, 종교, 근무연수, 주변인 장애유무, 주변인 장애 유형 별로 장애인에 대한 사회적 거리감을 알아보았다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 장애인에 대한 사회적 거리감 지각 정도는 사회적 거리감(5점만점 평균 3.47점)과 하위요인인 신체적 거리감(5점만점 평균 3.77점), 대인적 거리감(5점만점 평균 3.17점)으로 지각하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 연령이 높을수록(p<.05), 근무연수가 많을수록(p<.05), 남성에게서 사회적 거리감이 더 가깝게 느끼는 것으로 나타났으며(p<.05), 성별에 있어서 남성이 대인적 거리감에서 가깝게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 셋째, 접촉요인에서 장애인 친구 유무에 따른 신체적 거리감과 사회적 거리감에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타났다(p<.05). 마지막으로, 치료사의 장애인에 대한 사회적 거리감 간의 상관관계에서 연령은 정적, 성별은 부적으로 유의미한 상관이 나타났으며, 근무연수와 연령의 정적 상관, 성별과 종교와는 부적 상관이 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때, 장애인과의 접촉 경험의 질과 기회에 따라 장애인에 대한 긍정적인 인식이 형성된다. 이를 통해 치료사를 대상으로 임상 초기부터 장애인 인식의 개선과 장애인과의 직접적인 경험을 통해 긍정적인 장애인에 대한 태도 및 행동의 변화를 유도할 교육을 실시할 필요가 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 산재장애인이 우울, 불안 및 심리적 좌절감 등을 극복하고 보다 긍정적인 자아 이미지로, 자신의 강점과 자원을 찾아 임파워링(empowering)될 수 있도록 돕는 집단프로그램을 개발하고 그 효과를 검증하고자 한 것이다. 이를 위해 산재장애인에 대한 직접서비스를 제공하는 재활상담사들을 대상으로 포커스집단인터뷰를 실시하여 그 결과를 프로그램 개발에 반영하였으며, Miley 외(1995)의 임파워먼트 모델을 적용하여 요양환자용과 치료종결자용의 두 가지 유형으로 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 프로그램의 효과 검증을 위해 요양환자용과 치료종결자용 프로그램을 실험집단 11명, 통제집단 10명으로 구성된 연구대상자에게 실시하였다. 분석결과 프로그램 실시 후 실험집단의 임파워먼트 점수가 통제집단에 비해 유의미하게 향상되었으며, 특히 하위영역 중 자아 이미지 영역의 점수가 큰 폭으로 향상되어 개발된 프로그램이 산재장애인의 임파워먼트를 향상시키는데 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 본 프로그램은 개별상담 중심의 산재장애인에 대한 개입을 집단사회복지실천으로 확대한 점, 임파워먼트에 대한 이론적 모델을 실제 집단프로그램으로 개발한 점, 산재장애인의 임파워먼트 수준을 향상시킨 점 등 그 실천적 함의가 크다.

There is a growing interest on and expansion of rights of people with disabilities. Among them, people with visual impairment show high adaptation to environments in comparison to people with other types of disabilities, thus a large percentage of them live in their own houses rather than residing in a care facility. According to the housing status of people with visual impairment, the ratio of their residence in rural areas is high. In rural areas people who have disabilities often live in poor residential environments, requiring much improvement. However, such improvement is too costly for them to pay, and home modification that does not fully consider the user, may cause less efficiency and another dangerous situation to people with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to delineate empirical lessons for direction of customized home modification for people with disabilities through analysis of process of home modification including the execution as a intervention. This study used qualitative method to examine and analyzed the entire customized home modification process. The conclusion of this study is as follows. First, home modification measures should be derived considering the suitability of the target building for the specific condition of residents. Second, discussions with various stakeholders from the early stage during which proper home modification measure is searched are essential for realizing appropriate customized home modification. This study has significance in that it provides the direction for customized home modification for people with disabilities as well as empirical data that could reduce trials and errors in the future.

A visual stress may provoke migraine, cephalalgia, intervene a long term reading and learning capability and reduce the productivity of a laborer who uses computer for a good while. In this study, a web based screening tool for visual stress was developed, it applied to 72 visually normal young persons in parallel with traditional questionnaire about symptoms of visual stress. To estimate visual stress, It is proposed to measure difference of visual search time of Han Gul characters as targets between visual stressful pattern and non-visual stressful pattern as global background of characters. As a result of test, 5 subjects were screened whose mean visual search time in the stressful pattern with 6 CPD spatial frequency increase significantly more than in none stressful pattern(t-test, one-tailed, p=$1.0407\times10^{-11}$). 2 of them were diagnosed as mild visual stress syndrome in the clinic. None had visual distortion and 50% of subjects had visual discomfort in results of the questionnaire. Correlation between visual search time increase rate and normalized number of visual discomfort may be slight(C. coefficient=0.1355). This study may contribute as a basic research for screening person with migraine, visual reading disabilities and VDT syndrome. It is required to apply the test to visual reading disabilities, migraine with visual distortion and/or visual discomfort as well as normal person for higher reliability of the screening tool.
