Abstract

The purpose of this study was conducted to investigate the perception and attitude toward physical restraints among elderly care workers. The subjects were 153 care workers who are working at elderly care facilities within the regions. Data were collected by structured questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The mean score of the perception for physical restraints was 2.83 out of 5, and the mean score of the attitude for the physical restraints was 3.56 out of 5. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the perception and attitude about physical restraints (r=.31, p<.001). This research has confirmed that it is necessary for care workers to have education about low score items of recognition and attitude about physical restraints. Therefore, we need to develop proper and efficient educational program about use method for physical restraints, and need to develop guideline for adopting physical restraints. Also, we should make efforts and attentions to reduce or abolish physical restraints in order to protect the elderly human rights.

본 연구는 신체억제에 대한 인식과 태도를 파악하기 위해 노인요양시설의 요양보호사를 대상으로 시도된 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 노인요양시설에 근무하는 요양보호사 153명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료수집은 구조화된 설문지를 사용하였고 수집한 자료는 기술통계 및 t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test 및 Pearson Correlation Coefficient로 분석하였다. 연구 대상자의 신체억제에 대한 인식 정도는 전체평균 2.83점(5점 만점)이었고, 대상자의 신체억제에 대한 태도 정도는 전체평균 3.56점(5점 만점)이었다. 대상자의 신체억제에 대한 인식과 태도 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 순상관관계(r=.31, p<.001)가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 신체억제에 대한 인식과 태도 점수가 낮은 문항에 대한 체계적인 교육의 필요성을 확인하였다. 따라서 신체억제의 적절한 사용방법에 관한 실제적이고 효과적인 교육프로그램의 개발이 필요하며, 신체억제 적용기준과 관련된 지침개발이 필요하다. 향후 노인의 인권보호를 위해 신체억제 감소 및 폐지를 위한 노력과 관심이 요구된다.
