  • 정신장애인의 임파워먼트를 위해서는 개인 내적인 변화와 더불어 사회적 인식의 변화가 필요하다. 자원봉사활동은 바로 자기실현과 자존감 증대와 같은 내적 변화와 더불어 정상화 및 가치 있는 사회적 역할 강화를 통해 참여자에 대한 사회적 인식 변화를 가져올 수 있는 기제로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정신장애인이 자원봉사 서비스의 제공자로서 지역사회에 참여하는 프로그램을 구조화하고, 이의 실천을 통해 임파워먼트 효과성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 첫째, 정신장애인 뿐 아니라 봉사활동의 장인 지역사회의 봉사 준비과정을 체계화하고, 둘째, 정신장애인들과 봉사활동을 함께 하는 일반인 협력자를 활용하는 것을 특징으로 하는 정신장애인 자원봉사프로그램을 개발하였다. 그리고 이 자원봉사 프로그램에는 시설거주 정신장애인 13명과 이들의 협력자인 사회복지전공 대학생 10명이 참석하였다. 프로그램 시행 결과 자원봉사활동에 참여한 실험집단의 정신장애인은 통제집단에 비해 자아이미지 측면에서 임파워먼트의 효과가 있었던 것으로 나타났으며, 일반시민으로서 프로그램에 같이 참여한 협력자들은 사전에 비해 사후에 정신장애인에 대한 태도 즉, 권위주의, 자비심, 사회생활제한, 그리고 지역정신보건 측면에서 모두 긍정적인 변화가 있었던 것으로 입증되었다. 이러한 결과는 그동안 봉사 대상자로 머물러온 정신장애인도 자신의 능력을 활용하여 봉사 제공자가 될 수 있다는 것을 보여주는 것일 뿐 아니라, 이러한 활동을 통해 자기 자신에 대한 인식과 일반인의 태도에도 긍정적 변화를 가져올 수 있음을 나타내는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 제시된 정신장애인 자원봉사 프로그램이 실천현장의 상황에 맞게 활용되어 정신장애인의 임파워먼트와 지역사회 통합에 기여할 수 있기를 기대해 본다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a self-management program for community dwelling patients with chronic mental illness so that they could improve their daily living skills and interpersonal relationships. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pre-post test design was used. The participants with chronic mental illness were recruited from a community mental health center. Twenty-two participants were assigned to the intervention group and 19 to the control group. The self-management was provided by 8 trained nursing students, and consisted of 8 sessions including education and practice. Each session was composed of strategies to improve self-care of community dwelling patients with chronic mental illness. Baseline and post-intervention measurements were done using a daily living skill performance scale and interpersonal relationship instrument. Results: Scores for daily living skill performance were not statistically significant, but scores for interpersonal relationship were statistically significant. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the self-management program had a positive impact on patients with chronic mental disorders. Therefore, it is suggested that the program could be used as an effective nursing intervention for patients with chronic mental disorders being cared for in community mental health centers.

  • Objectives: This is a descriptive study which was carried out to identify characteristics of the chronic mentally ill and their families in a rural area and the influencing factors on family burden. Methods : Data was collected for seven months beginning April 1, 1998 by questionnaire from chronic mentally ill patients and their families in two towns and seven townships of the rural areas of Kyonggi Province. In additional to the mental diagnosis of the mentally ill patients, family burden was measured by interviewing the other family members using the questionnaire developed by Pai & Kapur (1981). Of those interviewed, 103 patients were selected for final analysis. Results : Of 103 mentally ill patients, 36.1% of the subjects were not under treatment. In particular, of 29 patients with schizophrenia, 48.3% of the subjects had stopped taking medication and 6.9% of the subjects had never been treated. According to the results of a specialized examination by a psychologist, 81% of patients were in need of Hospitalization. Most primary caregivers were parents. Of the 101 primary caregivers in the study, 39.6% were over 65 years old. In case of death of the primary caregiver, 50.5% of these 101 mentally ill patients would not have anyone to care for them. Of the various kinds of family burden, primary caregivers most often reported psychological stress. Overall, the families of dementia and schizophrenia patients complained of the most family burden. Through univariative analysis, the variables of sex, education and current treatment type of the patients, the relationship with the patient and marital status of the primary caregiver and the number of people living together in the household showed significant correlation with the family burden of schizophrenia patients. Univariative analysis also showed that there were a number of variables which were correlated to the family burden in mentally retarded patients. Concerning the need for mental health services, the most common requests were for entitlement to disability benefits and housing programs. Conclusions: Community mental health services in rural areas must be developed, planned and executed in consideration of the local situation. In particular, the development of various family support programs is needed in order to mitigate emotional, mental and economic burdens and carry out a positive role to care for and rehabilitate patients.

  • 본 연구는 지역사회 만성정신질환자를 대상으로 건강위험행위와 스트레스생활사건, 정신증상, 병식, 우울간의 관계 및 건강위험행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여 효율적인 만성정신질환자의 건강증진프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 시도되었다. 연구의 대상은 D시와 C도에 위치한 정신보건센터와 사회복귀시설을 이용하고 있는 성인 만성정신질환자 255명이며 자료수집기간은 2011년 8월 1일에서 9월 20일까지였다. 수집된 자료는 실수, 백분율, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson 상관계수, 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 성별, 진단명, 스트레스 생활사건, 병식, 우울이 통계적으로 유의한 영향요인으로 나타났으며, 이들 전체 요인들은 만성정신질환자의 건강위험행위를 24% 설명하였다. 따라서 지역사회 만성정신질환자의 성별과 진단을 반영하여 병식교육과 스트레스 및 우울관리를 통해 건강위험행위를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 건강증진프로그램이 개발되어야 할 것이다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing the outcome of psychosocial rehabilitation for persons with chronic mental illness and to suggest a hypothetical model of psychosocial rehabilitation which is based on the relationship between influencing factors and then to test its fitness empirically. Method: Data was collected from persons with a chronic mental illness using a self-report questionnaire, and from their case managers using an observed rating questionnaire. A total of 220 cases were used in the final analysis, and a hypothetical model was verified through covariance structure analysis using LISREL. Result: 1) The fitness indices of the model were $X^2=133.77$ (df=48, p=.00), GFI=0.93, AGFI=0.87, RMR=2.32, NNFI=0.95 and NFI=0.95. Twelve paths among fifteen proved to be significant. 2) Psychosocial rehabilitation was influenced directly by symptoms, daily living skill and self-concept, and was influenced indirectly by the psychosocial rehabilitation program service. Psychosocial rehabilitation accounted for 32% of variance of these factors. Conclusion: This study is expected to contribute to understanding the psychosocial rehabilitation phenomena. Besides it will provide basic information for developing strategies of bio-psycho-sociological interventions and evaluations in regard to influential factors of psychosocial rehabilitation.
