Abstract

This research aimed to verify whether family competency reinforcement had a mediating role on the effect of family cohesion of the Down syndrome family upon the independent life of children with Down syndrome. For the research, 146 families belonged to Down Syndrome Parent Assembly were surveyed and the statistical program SPSS WIN 25.0 was utilized for the data analysis. To verify the mediating effect, Baron and Kenny's causal step strategy was performed. As a result of the study, the higher the family cohesion of the Down syndrome family was, the greater the level of independence of the child was, indicating that the family cohesion had a significant static effect on the independence life. In addition, it was confirmed that the family competency reinforcement played a mediating role between the family cohesion and the children's independent living. Therefore, the results of this research suggested that it might be used as a policy approach and supporting plan for the realization of support for independence of Down syndrome children.

본 연구는 다운중후군 가족의 가족응집성이 다운증후군 자녀들의 자립생활에 미치는 영향에 가족역량강화가 매개역할이 있는지 검증하고자 하는 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 다운증후군 부모회 가족 146명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 자료분석은 통계프로그램 SPSS WIN 25.0을 활용하였다. 매개효과를 검증하기 위해, 바론과 케니가 제안한 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 다운증후군 가족의 가족응집성이 높을수록 자녀의 자립생활수준이 높게 나타나 가족응집성은 자립생활에 유의미한 정적 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 가족응집성과 자녀의 자립생활 사이에서 가족역량강화가 매개 역할을 하고 있음이 도출되었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 다운증후군 자녀의 자립지원 실현에 대한 정책적 접근 및 지원방안에 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다.
