Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze relationship between community participation and smartphone usage level. The study was conducted for 100 people aged 55 or older. We conduct a task-based questionnaire to evaluate smartphone usage level. The levels of smartphone use were reclassified as 0~3 points C level, 4~7 points B level, and 8 points or more A level based on task-based survey score. For data processing, SAS 9.4 was used. As a result, a total of 97 data were included in the result analysis, and 85 smartphone users(87.6%). There was a significant correlation between smartphone usage level and community participation(r=0.22). As a result of using ANOVA, the smartphone usage level and community participation scores showed a significant difference(p=0.04). This study confirmed that there is a difference in community participation by smartphone usage level. Most elderly people showed high smartphone education demand. It is considered necessary to develop educational programs and educational tools to improve educational satisfaction and smartphone usage.

본 연구는 과제기반 설문조사를 통해 중고령자의 스마트폰 사용수준을 구분하고, 사용수준과 지역사회참여의 관계를 분석하고자 한다. 연구대상은 강원도와 전라도 지역에 소재한 노인시설에 방문하는 55세 이상 100명을 대상으로 진행되었다. 스마트폰 사용수준을 평가하기 위해 과제기반 설문지를 실시하고, 설문결과를 바탕으로 0~3점 'C' 수준, 4~7점 'B' 수준, 8점 이상 'A' 수준으로 재분류하여 평가하였다. 자료 처리는 SAS 9.4를 이용하였다. 총 97명의 데이터가 결과분석에 포함되었으며, 스마트폰 사용자가 85명(87.6%)로 높게 나타났다. 상관분석 결과, 스마트폰 사용수준과 지역사회참여도에 유의미한 정적상관관계(r=0.22)가 나타났다. 평균비교 결과, 스마트폰 사용수준과 지역사회참여도 점수는 유의미한 차이(p=0.04)를 나타냈다. 본 연구를 통해 스마트폰 사용수준별로 지역사회참여도가 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 대부분의 노인이 높은 스마트폰 교육요구도를 나타냈다. 교육만족도와 스마트폰 활용도를 높이기 위한 교육프로그램 개발 및 교육도구 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
