아동 가정방문작업치료 서비스에 대한 요구도 조사

An Investigation on the Need of the Home Environmental Skill-building Program for Children

본 연구는 아동 가정방문작업치료 서비스에 요구도를 알아보기 위해 광주 및 전남 지역에서 재활치료서비스를 이용하고 있는 만 18세 미만 장애아동의 보호자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문지는 선행연구를 바탕으로 본 연구의 목적에 맞게 수정·보완 하였으며, 총 700부를 배포하여 75.9%를 회수하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계를 시행하였다. 재활치료서비스 이용실태를 알아본 결과 치료 동기는 의사나 치료사의 권유에 의해서가 가장 많았고 치료비용에 대해서는 다수가 부담된다고 하였다. 아동 가정방문작업치료에 대한 요구도에서는, 아동 가정방문작업치료에 대해 대부분이 ‘필요하다’고 하였으며, 그 이유로는 ‘시간적 부담의 감소’와 ‘이동에 따른 불편함 해소’가 가장 많았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 아동 가정방문작업치료 요구도는 연구대상자의 일반적 특성이나 재활치료서비스 이용실태와는 무관하게 다수가 필요하다고 하였으며, 특히 ‘경제적 부담감소’와‘집중적이고 전문적인 치료의 필요’가 아동 가정방문작업치료 서비스 요구도와의 관련성이 높은 것으로 나타났다.
