Abstract

This study was aimed to understand the recognition of care robots which would enhance the medical quality of life under the 4th industrial revolution in the university students majoring in health and engineering who would lead the development of the future medical industry and to find out the differences of their digital literacy and empathic ability. This was a descriptive correlation study to analyze the recognition of university students on care robots, their digital literacy and empathic ability. Both students majoring in health and engineering recognized the needs of care robots, while their education experiences were not sufficient. Moreover, statistically fewer university students majoring in health heard about care robots than those in engineering, and their need of taking classes was lower, too. No statistically significant differences were found in digital literacy and empathic ability between the two majors, while significant difference was found in the relationship bundling capability out of behavioral empathy, a sub-domain of empathic ability. The study results are anticipated to suggest the future educational direction in the medical field according to the 4th industrial revolution and to be the fundamental data for understanding and preparation of the students depending on the majors.

본 연구에서는 4차 산업형명의 의료 삶의 질을 향상시켜줄 케어로봇에 대하여 미래 의료 산업 발전을 주도할 보건전공 대학생과 공학전공 대학생의 케어로봇에 대한 인식을 확인하고, 이들의 디지털 리터러시 및 공감능력의 차이를 확인하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 대학생의 케어로봇에 대한 인식과 디지털 리터러시 및 공감능력에 대해 분석하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 보건계열 대학생과 공학계열 대학생은 케어로봇에 대한 필요성을 인식하고 있었으나, 교육 경험이 두 군 모두 미흡하였다. 더욱이 보건계열 대학생의 경우 케어로봇에 대해 들어본 경험이 공학계열 학생보다 통계적으로 낮았으며, 수강 요구도 또한 낮았다. 보건계열 대학생과 공학계열 대학생의 디지털 리터러시는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었고, 공감능력 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었지만 하위영역인 행동적 공감에서 관계형성능력은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 추후 4차 산업에 따른 의료 분야의 교육의 다학제간의 방향성을 제시하고 전공에 따른 학습자들을 위한 이해와 준비의 기초자료가 될 수 있기를 기대한다.
