지체장애인의 장애 정체감 영향요인에 대한 탐색적 연구 = A exploratory study on factors affecting Disability Identity of people with physical disabilities

국문 초록 (Abstract)

장애 정체감은 장애인 자신에 대한 인식 뿐 아니라 사회적 인식과 환경체계에 대한 적극적인 대처의식까지 포함하고 있는 개념이며 장애인의 사회참여와 자립생활과 중요한 관련성을 갖는다고 보고되고 있다. 이러한 관점으로 본 연구에서는 장애인의 장애 정체감에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 검증을 시도하였다.
분석대상은 전국 20세 이상 지체장애인 1급 장애인 374명에 대한 장애 정체감 측정 자료이며 장애 정체감에 영향을 미치는 개인요인과 장애 및 건강요인, 환경요인에 대한다중회귀분석을 실시하였다.
연구결과, 개인요인 중에서는 연령, 학력이, 장애 및 건강요인에서는 장애지속기간이, 환경요인에 대해서는 물리적∙사회적∙태도적 환경 문제에 대하여 느끼는 심각성 정도가 장애 정체감 영향요인으로 나타났다. 따라서 장애정체감이 개인, 손상, 환경 중 어느 하나의 요인에 의해서 결정되는 것이 아니며 장애인의 긍정적인 정체감 형성을 위해서는 장애인 개인의 노력뿐 아니라 물리적 환경개선과 비장애인의 인식 및 태도의 변화가 더욱 요구됨을 시사하고 있다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Disability Identity is an emerging concept in the the field of Disability which includes the notion of active coping consciousness concerning the social perception and environmental system as well as the internalized self-concept and affects the people with disabilities in terms of social participation and independent life.
There have been few empirical investigations into the underlying factors of Disability Identity so far. This study investigates three dimensions of factors which include Demographic factors, Disabilitis and Health factors and Environmental factors using multiple regression analysis for 374 adults with physical disabilities. The result shows that age, education among the Demographic factors, duration of disability among the Disabilities and health factors, the severity of barriers among the physical, social, attitudinal environment in the Environmental factors are statistically significant.
It implies that environmental improvement, and the perception and attitude change of non-disabled population have to be preceded by the effeorts of individuals with disabilities in the formation of positive disability identity.
