Abstract

This study investigates major contributing factors that determine the marital stability among the disabled women in South Korea. Data collected from 124 women with disabilities were analyzed for this purpose. Multiple regression analysis was used to explore the determinants of the marital instability among the participants. The multiple regression analysis revealed that age, welfare receipt, health condition, depression, marital intimacy, marital satisfaction, marital conflicts and drinking problems were statistically significant predictors to the extent of marital stability among the disabled women in the total model. Based on the study results, several implications such as development of programs to improve marital stability of women with disabilities were discussed.

본 연구는 여성장애인의 결혼안정성에 영향을 미치는 요인을 개인 관련 요인, 경제 관련 요인, 건강 관련 요인, 그리고 부부 관련 요인으로 나누어 분석해 보았다. 연구 대상은 조사시점 결혼생활을 유지하고 있는 여성장애인으로 설문조사를 통해 총 124명이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 다중회귀분석을 통해 결혼안정성에 미치는 영향 요인을 살펴본 결과, 연령이 높을수록, 기초생활수급자가 아닐수록, 자가에 거주할수록, 그리고 건강하고 우울감이 덜한 여성장애인일수록 결혼안정성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 부부관련 요인에서 부부친밀감과 결혼만족도가 높고, 부부 갈등과 배우자 음주가 적을수록 결혼안정성이 긍정적으로 예측되었다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 여성장애인의 결혼안정성을 향상시킬 수 있는 프로그램과 정책적 개입 방안들을 제안하였다.
