Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop the contents of a health care program for the disabled led by nursing students and to verify the effect of the program operation on the disability awareness and disability acceptance attitude of participating university students. Ten nursing students participated in the development and operation of the program, and the validity of the developed program was confirmed through a group of experts. After participating in the program operation, it was confirmed that nursing students' disability awareness (Z=-2.80, p=.002) and disability acceptance attitude (Z=-2.66, p=.006) all improved. Various efforts should be made, such as utilizing the health care program for the disabled presented in this study, as an experiential program to properly equip university students with awareness and attitude toward disability as a social competency.
