Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore family caregiver's need for online education for dementia caregiving. Participants in this study were 220 family caregivers from district dementia centers in Seoul. Family caregiver's usability and needs of online education program were assessed using self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and t-test comparisons were conducted. About 50% of family caregivers answered they could use and have intention to use online education. The results showed that there were the highest demand for the video lectures which give information about dementia and case video about caregiving skills. There were differences in needs of online program according to the gender and age. The use of online program offers users the opportunity to participate support program at their own time and pace. In order to maximize the effects of online support programs, it is important to establish the strategies of the customized programs considering the characteristics of the caregivers.

이 연구는 온라인 치매가족 교육프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료로 치매환자 가족의 프로그램 사용 의향과 프로그램 구성에 대한 요구도를 파악하기 위해 실시되었다. 서울시 치매관리 사업에 등록된 치매노인을 돌보는 가족 220명을 대상으로 1:1 개별면접 또는 온라인 설문 조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였으며, 수집된 자료는 기술 통계와 t-test를 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 50% 이상의 대상자가 온라인으로 제공되는 가족교육 프로그램을 이용할 의향이 있다고 응답하였다. 프로그램 요구도는 치매에 대한 정보를 알려주는 동영상 강의와 치매환자를 돌보는 사례 동영상에 대한 요구도가 가장 높았으며, 성별과 연령대에 따라 요구도 항목에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 온라인 교육프로그램은 시공간적 한계를 극복해서 보다 효과적인 교육을 제공할 수 있는 수단이며, 본 연구 결과에 따라 온라인 교육프로그램 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 획일화된 방식보다 대상자의 특성을 고려한 개별화된 맞춤형 프로그램 운영 전략 및 체제를 마련하는 것이 중요하다.
