頭部 外傷患者의 慾求構造에 관한 硏究

The purposes of this study were 1) to identify the characteristics of the need structure in the patients with brain injury, 2) to prepare the basic data for the further clinical prediction and evaluation. To do so, 573 brain-injured patients had performed EPPS. 160 patients with the missing value or less than 7 in EPPS's consistancy index were excluded in analysis. Based on the intercorrelation among 15 need scores, the need factor structure was extracted. Then, according to these extracted factors, brain-injured patient were classified into several subgroups by cluster analysis and examined the characteristics among subgroups in MMPI profile. The findings are as follows. By the factor analysis, 5 factors were extracted; factorl order. endurance need, factor2 affiliation. nurturance need, factor3 abasement. achievement need, factor4 succorance. intraception need, and factor5 deference. According to these 5 factor scores, cluster analysis was done and 4 subgroups were categorized. The cluster analysis showed that factor1 was high in subgroup 1, factor3 was high in subgroup 2, factor 5 was high in subgroup 3, and factor4 was high in subgroup 4. Each subgroup showed very similar MMPI profile. Finally, there was a comment on EPPS'S future clinical implication and usage.
