Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the single-person household's demand for a wearable healthcare system that provides the ischemic heart disease and cardiopulmonary alarm to be developed. In this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with six unmarried individuals in their thirties who were in the workplace and the results were interpreted by Giorgi's phenomenological analysis method. The study results indicated that although the wearable healthcare system was implemented with high-technology functions that serve the intended purpose, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as aesthetics, comfort, and ease of washing. In this study, we found that the variables influencing the interviewees' intent to accept healthcare services are complex and cannot be attributed to one factor alone; this study has also shown a variety of interpersonal correlations. In addition, although health-care research focusing on the elderly has been conducted in the past, it is suggested that younger generations such as those in their thirties can also be studied as health care service adopters.

본 연구의 목적은 허혈성 심장질환 및 심정지 알람을 제공하는 웨어러블 헬스케어 시스템에 대한 1인 가구원의 생각을 규명하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 30대 미혼 직장인 6명을 대상으로 심층면접을 진행하였고, 그 결과를 Giorgi의 현상학적 분석방법으로 해석하였다. 연구 결과, 웨어러블 헬스케어 시스템은 목적에 부합하는 기능이 하이테크놀로지로 구현된다 할지라도 상품기획 단계에서 심미성, 편안함, 세탁 용이성 등 의복에 요구되는 사항과 가격과 같은 민감한 요인 등을 종합적으로 고려하여야 함을 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 수용의도에 영향을 미치는 변수는 복합적임을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 양적연구로는 규명하기 어려운 다양한 변수간 상관관계를 알 수 있었다는 것에 연구의의가 있다. 또한 기존에 노인 새대를 대상으로 한 헬스케어 연구가 주를 이루었으나, 30대와 같은 젊은 세대도 헬스케어 서비스 수용자로서 연구 대상이 될 수 있음을 시사하였다.
