Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the intention to use of virtual reality-based cognitive training system for the elderly residing in community based on extended technology acceptance model. The data were collected 100 elderly residing in community from January 2 to January 31, 2020. As a result, the influence the intent to use a virtual reality-based cognitive training system for the elderly is social influence, perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, age. The explaining 54.4% of the variance, it is considered that technology development these factors will be necessary for elderly in the community to promote the intent to use of virtual reality-based cognitive training systems. This study is meaningful in that it has identified the degree of intent to use and influencing factors of virtual reality devices for the elderly in the community. This study could be used as basic data for the development of technologies for virtual reality-based cognitive training systems in the future.

본 연구는 확장된 기술수용모델을 활용하여 지역사회 노인의 가상현실 기반 인지훈련시스템 사용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위한 조사연구이다. 자료 수집은 지역사회 거주하는 노인 100명을 대상으로 2020년 1월 2일부터 1월 31일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 지역사회 노인의 가상현실 기반 인지훈련시스템 사용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 사회적 영향, 지각된 유용성, 쾌락적 동기, 연령 이였으며, 설명력은 54.4%였다. 본 연구결과 지역사회 노인들의 가상현실 기반 인지훈련시스템 사용의도를 촉진하기 위해서는 이러한 요인들을 고려한 기술개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구는 지역사회 거주 노인을 대상으로 가상현실기기 사용의도 정도와 영향요인을 파악하였다는 점에 그 의의가 있으며, 향후 가상현실 기반 인지훈련시스템 기술개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
