시청각장애인을 위한 지원 서비스와 정책과제 탐색을 위한 혼합연구 = The Mixed Methods Research on Support Services and the Exploration of Policy Tasks for the Deafblind

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to derive policy tasks by identifying the characteristics and needs of people with deafblindness as the issue of support for the deafblind has recently occurred and to prepare a service support plan reflecting the aspects of deafblindness in the future. For the research method, the mixed method was used. Previous studies in Korea and abroad on the definition and support services related to deafblindness were reviewed, a survey of 45 people with deafblindness in Seoul, and in-depth interviews were conducted with 8 people including deafblind, academic and field professionals to explore additional support plans. Based on the results of the analysis, it was suggested that, first, a survey should be conducted on the current status and service needs of people with deafblindness and their families. Second, a service support center for the deafblind should be established. Third, training deafblindness experts and education for support personnel should be preemptive. In addition, communication education is essential to strengthening the independence of people with deafblindness. Finally, this study proposed to develop a person-centered independence support project model, establish a national-wide network of experts on deafblind, and cooperation between institutions.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 최근 시청각장애인 지원 이슈가 발생함에 따라 시청각장애인의 장애특성 및 욕구를 파악하여 정책과제를 도출하고 향후 시청각장애특성이 반영된 서비스 지원방안을 마련하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구방법으로는 시청각장애인 관련 정의와 서비스 지원에 대한 국내외 선행연구를 고찰하였으며, 서울시 시청각장애인 당사자 총 45명을 대상으로 서비스 지원 욕구에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였고, 추가적인 지원방안 모색을 위해 당사자를 포함한 현장 및 학계전문가 총 8명을 대상으로 개별심층인터뷰를 실시하는 등 혼합연구방법론을 활용하였다. 분석결과에 따른 제언으로는 첫째, 시청각장애인과 가족을 대상으로 실태조사를 실시하여 현황 및 서비스 욕구를 파악하고, 둘째, 시청각장애인을 위한 서비스 지원센터 설치, 셋째, 이를 위한 시청각장애인 전문가 양성 및 지원인력 교육이 선제적으로 실시되어야 하겠다. 또한 시청각장애인 당사자의 자립역량강화를 위한 의사소통 교육이 필수적이며 끝으로 당사자 중심의 자립지원사업모델 개발과 전국차원의 시청각장애 전문가 네트워크 구축과 기관간 협력을 제안한다.
