障碍人 再活서비스의 生活滿足度 영향에 관한 연구

Abstract

At present, rehabilitation services and resources are limited and difficult to meet the immediate or long-term needs of disabled population. Recently, there have been many publications describing the requirements and discussing those factors which influence rehabilitation service provision for disabled population, but much of this discussion has been theoretically based, rather than facing psychological well-being issues. We can find few formal studies relating the provision of rehabilitation services to disabled population in need of this essential management process. We have therefore carried out a survey-based study to demonstrate the present rehabilitation service requirements for disabled residents in urban districts. We have also looked at those factors which influence disabled clients to accept the various services which are available to them at present.

A series of comprehensive questionnaires were designed, in order to investigate the demographic characters, health conditions, knowledge of rehabilitation services, and social status of the respondents. Some 394 disabled residents from urban districts in Seoul were selected. They were randomized, with multi-stage cluster sampling for in-house survey.

Some of respondents expressed a need for rehabilitation, at different levels, but only a few of them received any services. Factors influencing requests for job rehabilitation services for disabled population included income, nature of disability, awareness of rehabilitation services and the nature of services supplied. The expressed needs for rehabilitation services by disabled population in communities are real, and are largely unmet. Only a few of the disabled received any services. Factors influencing disabled populations' abilities to access rehabilitation service, included the nature and degree of disability, the economic status of the residents, the quality and nature of the rehabilitation programs and treatment available, and the knowledge by clients of the existence and availability of these services.

More effective measures need to be taken to make the appropriate rehabilitation services more available to disabled population in communities.
