Abstract

This article tried to suggest ways to improve satisfaction of their life, as finding the determinants of the disabled through the cross-section research by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. This article used data from the 2011 investigation of actual condition for the Disabled, which is a representative of the disabled in Korea. For statistical analysis, this paper used PASW statistics 18.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA). Analysis of frequency, descriptive statistic and multiple regressions were conducted. The level of significance was set up as 0.05. As the result, we found that life satisfaction of the disabled was influenced by all factors such as factor in discrimination, socioeconomic factors, disability and health factor. Therefore, we think that the government needs to prepare a systemic method for extending right of the disabled and improving rehabilitation and independent living.

본 연구는 보건복지부에서 실시한 단면연구를 통해 장애인의 생활만족도 결정요인을 파악하여, 장애인의 생활만족도 개선을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석 자료는 우리나라 장애인을 대표할 수 있는 2011년도 장애인 실태조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 통계분석용 소프트웨어인 PASW statistics 18.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA)을 이용하였으며, 빈도분석과 기술통계, 다중 회귀분석(multiple regression)을 하였고, 유의수준은 0.05로 설정하였다. 장애인의 생활만족도에 대한 결정요인들을 회귀분석한 결과, 차별요인, 주거환경요인, 복지인지요인, 사회경제요인, 장애와 건강요인 등 모든 요인이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 장애인의 생활만족도 향상을 위한 장애인의 권리확대와 재활, 자립생활을 향상 시킬 수 있는 제도적 방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
