간병인의 전동휠체어 사용에 대한 만족도 조사

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 논문은 전동휠체어를 사용하는 장애인을 관리하고 보조하는 간병인을 대상으로 전동휠체어의 만족도에 대한 것이다. 전동휠체어 만족에 대한 설문은 일상생활에서 가장 많이 사용하는 항목들을 전문가 의견과 간병인들의 의견을 통해 안정성, 조작성, 만족도 항목의 사용성 공통 항목들을 선택하였다. 또한 간병인의 일반적 특성, 간병 경력, 간병시간, 간병의 어려움과 전동휠체어 무게의 문제점을 개선하기 위해 접이식 전동휠체어 개발에 대한 의견도 조사하였다. 대상자는 전동휠체어를 사용하는 장애인을 보조하는 간병인 50명이었다. 연령대는 평균 54.54세이었고, 간병 경험은 80.98개월이었고, 하루 간병 평균시간은 9.80시간이었다. 전동휠체어 사용에 대한 만족도는 안전성, 조작성, 항목에서는 대부분 만족하였으나, 무게와 세척에 대한 만족도 항목에서 만족도가 떨어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 전동휠체어의 가장 큰 문제점은 무게가 무겁고 조작하기 힘들고, 간병인들을 옮기기가 힘들다는 의견이 가장 많았으며. 접이식 전동휠체어에 대한 선호도는 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 간병인들은 전동휠체어 사용만족도 조사에서 무게가 가볍고, 보관 및 세척이 편리한 전동휠체어 개발의 필요성을 강조하였다. 따라서 이를 관리하고 보조하는 간병인들의 특성을 반영한 접이식 전동휠체어 개발이 필요하다

The purpose of this study was to investigate caretakers’ demands and request in electric wheelchairs.
The survey included the usability questionnaire (safety, operability, satisfactions) which were selected by opinions of caretakers and specialist of rehabilitation for electric wheelchairs. The survey also included questionnaires consisting of such questions as to demographic information, care experience, care time, and care burden, and demand for folding electric wheelchairs.
Participants were fifty caretakers of electric wheelchair users. Caretakers’ average age was 54.54years, and the average duration of their care experience was 80.98 months with average care time 9.80 hours per day. In safety and operability, most of participants were mostly satisfied. However, in satisfaction of weight and clean of electric wheelchairs was dissatisfied. They reported that the biggest problem of electric wheelchairs were too heav and difficult to control and that the greatest difficulty in helping electric wheelchair users was helping them with transfer to and from the wheelchair. They also need their prefer to develop folding electric wheelchairs. In this study, caretakers emphasized necessity of development light, easy to storage and clean electric wheelchairs. In conclusion, it is required to develop folding electric wheelchairs to reflect caretaker’s opinions.
