Purpose : The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in sociodemographic characteristics, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and healthcare needs among disabled persons with and without language disorder. Methods : Using raw data from the National Survey of the Disabled Person (2017), this study compared 6,320 disabled persons without language disorder and 229 disabled person with language disorder among 6,549 persons with disabilities. The dependent variables included sociodemographic characteristics, IADL, and healthcare needs. Results : People with language disorder were younger (p<.001), illiterate (p<.001), and had higher family income (p=.003) than people without language disorder. In addition, people with language disorder had a higher disability grade than people without language disorder (p<.001), and the percentages of brain injury, hearing impairment, and intellectual disability were higher among type of disability (p<.001). People with language disorder showed significantly higher dependence on all items of IADL than people without language disorder (p<.001). As the first-ranked healthcare need, people without language disorder had the highest percentage of "chronic illness management," and people with language disorder had the highest percentage of "disability management" (p<.001). Conclusion : The findings of the current investigation suggest that health care services are needed to improve IADL in people with language disorder and that the development of a disability management program for people with language disorder is required.

There has been growing attention on the well-being of people with disabilities. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to investigate the associations between individuals' socio-demographic and psychological characteristics and clothing expenditure, and (2) to examine the moderated mediation effect of self-efficacy and acceptance of disability on the association between dependency on others and happiness among people with visual impairment. This study was based on secondary analysis of data from the second wave of the 6th Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled collected by the Employment Development Institute. The results of this study showed that average monthly expenditure on clothing was positively associated with self-efficacy, happiness, and acceptance of disability, while being negatively associated with dependency on others. The results also confirmed that self-efficacy mediated the association between dependency on others and happiness. A conditional direct effect of dependency on others on happiness was found, in which negative associations were significant among people with visual impairment who had low and mean levels of acceptance of disability (but not high levels). In addition, there was a significant conditional indirect effect, in which the indirect and negative effect of dependency on others on happiness via self-efficacy was significant for those with low and average levels of acceptance of disability. These findings support the importance of enhancing the independence and acceptance of disability among people with visual impairment, which ultimately contributes to their happiness.

Purpose: Clinical nurses are the ideal health care providers to advocate for vulnerable and underserved populations such as people with disability. This study aimed to understand factors influencing nursing advocacy for people with disability among clinical nurses. Methods: The subjects of this study were 186 clinical nurses who were working in three hospitals in B and D cities. Self-report questionnaires were used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Clinical experience and esthetical nursing competency have positive correlations with nursing advocacy, and optimism-human rights has a negative correlation with nursing advocacy. Factors influencing nursing advocacy for people with disability were identified as patient directivity (β=0.36, p=.001), optimism-human rights (β=-0.18, p=.008) and clinical experience (≥10) (β=0.14, p=.036). The final model consisting of these factors explained 19% of the variance of nursing advocacy (F=14.99, p=.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate the importance of developing and implementing nursing interventions that can improve patient directivity and optimism-human rights toward people with disability among clinical nurses. These nursing advocacy interventions can be provided as part of continuing education as well as the nursing curriculum.

본 연구의 목적은 장애인의 지역사회 신뢰와 장애정체감이 장애인의 주관적 건강에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 사회경제적 지위의 조절효과를 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 장애인의 사회적 배제 척도개발에 사용된 조사 자료를 활용하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 지역사회 신뢰와 장애정체감이 주관적 건강에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 지역사회 신뢰와 장애정체감이 높아질수록 주관적 건강상태가 좋아지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회경제적 지위의 조절효과를 분석한 결과, 사회경제적 지위는 장애정체감과 주관적 건강상태의 관계만 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 장애정체감이 높아질수록 주관적 건강상태가 좋아지는 정도가 비수급자에 비해 수급자가 상대적으로 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 지역사회 신뢰와 주관적 건강상태의 관계는 조절하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 토대로, 장애인의 주관적 건강상태를 증진시킬 수 있는 실천적 정책적 함의를 제안하였다.

장애인들은 오랫동안 공공도서관 서비스에서 소외되어 왔다. 공공도서관이 정보접근 및 이용의 격차해소라는 사회적 역할을 다하기 위해서는 도서관 이용자로서의 장애인에 대한 인식을 새롭게 하여야 할 것이며, 장애유형별로 맞춤화된 서비스를 제공함으로써 도서관에 대한 장애인들의 요구를 창출하고 그들을 도서관으로 유인하여야 할 것이다. 본 논문은 문헌연구를 통하여 장애인 및 도서관 장애인서비스에 대한 이해를 넓히고 보건복지부 장애인 통계 및 실태조사에 기초하여 우리나라 장애인의 장애유형별 특성을 분석하였으며, 그 결과를 토대로 공공도서관의 장애유형별 장애인서비스 개발의 방향을 제시하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the gait patterns of adults with intellectual disability and healthy adults based on collected kinematic data on the lower extremities and to investigate the gait patterns of intellectually disabled people by comparing the differences between the two groups. Methods: The participants were divided into in one group of healthy adults (n = 9) and one group with mild intellectual disabilities (n = 9). 3D motion analysis (Myomotion) was used to collect kinematic data from each group while the participants walked 3 times over 10 m. As a statistical method, each group's kinematic data during walking was analyzed and compared using an independent sample t-test. Results: Comparing the kinematic data of the lower extremities during walking between the group with mild intellectual disability and the healthy group, there were significant differences between the two groups in the hip and ankle joints in the stance and swing phases. Conclusion: The analysis suggests that people with intellectual disabilities have kinematic differences compared with healthy people. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to conduct further research on rehabilitation programs for joint stabilization, exercise for increasing joint range of motion, muscle strengthening exercise, and proprioception training for people with intellectual disabilities with insufficient physical function.

Objectives: As the number of people with disabilities is increasing and their needs for care are varied, the continuum and comprehensiveness of their rehabilitative care are getting more important. This study was performed to understand the utilization of rehabilitation services and requirements of care among the people with severe disabilities in Korea. Methods: We interviewed 578 disabled persons who had severe extremity and cerebral impairment in the urban and rural areas of Korea. The questionnaire included questions on their general characteristics, the type of disability, their physical function (ADL, IADL), their use of rehabilitation services after discharge and their requirements for rehabilitation care Results: Only 12.6% of people with disability in the community continuously used the available medical rehabilitation care. The associated factors for utilization of rehabilitation services were pain and admission for rehabilitative treatment in the acute phase. There was a great need for rehabilitation services in community and this varied according to gender, the socio-economic status, the functional status and the geographic region. The gap between utilization and need for rehabilitation services was largest in the economic support. The gap of primary health care was larger in the rural area than in the urban area. Conclusions: The needs for rehabilitation service were diverse according to the individual functional status, the regional characteristics and other general characteristics of people with disability. Strategies should be considered to eliminate the barriers to obtain rehabilitation services for the people with disability in the community.

There is some equipment that helps user to exercise and to walk. But almost all equipments require some physical strength of their muscles. So we developed a system that could assist walking action of the people with lower-limb disability. The system called as walking stand adopted the balancing mechanism which assures the stable walking, and the 4 link-based mechanism that had 2 degrees of freedom on each leg. The walking stand uses four motors and has two sets of the special link-structure to simulate the human walking mechanism. With our system, even serious disabled with lower-limb disability may enjoy walking rehabilitation. And by adjusting the power, it can be used as the walking assistant mechanism instead of conventional wheelchairs. Experiments showed that our walking stand is applicable to the rehabilitation and also to the mobile device in our daily life for those people who do not have enough physical ability to walk by themselves.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association among of Activity of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), depression and isolation in disabled people. Method: The subjects consisted of 761 disabled people in Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlational statistics. Results: There were significant differences in age, cause of disability, type of disability, degree of disability, education, job, perceived health condition, and economic status between disabled people with high and low levels of ADL and IADL. Depression showed significant differences in type of disability, degree of disability, education, job, perceived health condition, and economic state; isolation showed significant differences in age, cause of disability, type of disability, education, job, residence, perceived health condition, and economic status. A significant association was identified between depression and isolation (r=.69, p<.001). Conclusion: There was a high incidence of depression in disabled men with high levels of isolation and ADL and IADL dependence. An effort to increase disabled people's ADL, IADL, and independence levels is needed, and nursing interventions should be designed and tested to increase their community involvement and decrease the sense of isolation and depression.

본 연구에서는 융합적 장애학의 시각에 근거해 중도 시각장애인의 장애 자부심 구축에 관해 일본 TV드라마 "챌린지드"를 중심으로 주인공 塙와 주변 인물로 나누어 그들의 장애관의 실체를 분석하였다. 이 경우, 연구방법 고론으로서 Priestley(1998)의 장애다중패러다임에 의거한 융합적 장애학을 도모하고자 하였다. 중도시각장애인의 장애자부심 구축과 장애 수용의 패러다임은 근본적으로 상이하다. 그런 면에서 장애수용 이론에 대한 비판은 의료모델에 대한 비판과 통한다. 드라마상에서 장애 자부심의 본질이 가장 두드러진 인물로는 주인공 塙와 교사회장, 교장으로 이들은 사회적 관념론이 체화된 인물로서의 공통점을 보인다. 그 외 인물들의 경우, 초기에는 시각장애교사인 塙의 신체성과 장애 정체성을 부정하지만 이윽고 장애에 대한 사회적 관념론적 시각으로 전화하게 되며, 드라마의 인물들은 완전히 융화된다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 시사점으로는 드라마 자체에 관한 인문학적 사회과학적 분석이라는 내재적 시사와 더불어 드라마를 수단으로 한 교육적 효과와 같은 외재적 시사로 제시하였다.
