Abstract

As we enter the era Convergence, commercialized convergence contents aimed at the disabled are giving a lot of help to them. This fusion research is aimed at providing necessary basic data and practical measures for these by analyzing the effect of influencing the quality of life for women with disabilities. This research was conducted with 250 disabled women living in Jeon-nam region from Jan,1 through April, 25 in 2015. After screening women aged 20-80 who had symptoms and musculoskeletal disorders and were using convergence contents, convergence projects were implemented with total 125 patients over 16 weeks. The result of the convergence projects showed that most of these experieced the decrease of musculoskeletal pain, the decrease of depressed levels, and the improvement of quality of life. Future studies should be done in terms of a long-term perspective and continuing support, and follow-up studies should also be done to evaluate its effectiveness.

융복합 시대에 접어들면서 장애인을 대상으로 상용화된 융복합 콘텐츠가 이들에게 많은 도움을 주고 있다. 본 연구는 근골격계질환 장애여성들의 삶의 질 개선 방안을 위하여 융복합 연구가 전남지역에서 실시되고, 이 활동들이 장애여성들의 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 효과를 분석하여, 추후 지속적으로 이들에게 필요한 기초 자료와 실천 방안을 제공하고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 2015년 1월 1일부터 4월 25일까지 전남지역에 거주하는 장애여성 250명을 대상으로 조사를 시작하였다. 이들 중 근골격계질환 자각증상을 가지고 있으며, 융복합 콘텐츠 사용중인 20-80대 장애여성을 선별하여 총 125명에게 16주동안 융복합 사업을 시행하였다. 연구 결과, 융복합 사업 시행 후, 대부분의 근골격계 통증이 감소되었으며 우울 수치가 줄어들고 삶의 질의 향상을 보였다. 추후 연구에서는 장기적 안목과 지원을 통해 이루어져야 할 것이며, 그 효과를 평가할 수 있는 후속 연구도 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다.
