초록

본 연구는 장애아동의 양육에 부분적 또는 전반적으로 참여하고 있는 조부모들의 양육 스트레스와 관련된 변인을 이해하고, 조부모들의 양육 스트레스를 경감시켜 조부모들의 긍정적 적응을 증대시키기 위한 방법들을 고찰해 보는데 그 목적과 의의가 있다. 본 연구는 82명의 장애아 조부모들을 대상으로 PSI/SF 한국어 번역을 통해 조부모들의 양육 스트레스 수준을 파악하였으며, 이에 관련된 변인들을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 조부모관련 변인으로서는, 조부모의 배우자 동거여부, 교육정도, 손자녀 가정과의 이동거리, 주당 양육시간이 조부모의 양육 스트레스와 관련된 변인으로 나타났다. 손자녀 관련 변인으로는, 손자녀의 통합교육 여부, 장애등급, 의사소통수단이 조부모의 양육 스트레스와 관련된 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로, 본 연구는 조부모들의 양육 스트레스를 경감하여 조부모들의 긍정적 적응을 증대시키기 위한 방법으로, 조부모에 대한 심리적 지지 제공, 손자녀의 장애에 대한 정보 제공, 휴식지원 프로그램의 증대, 통합교육의 확대, 그리고 보완ㆍ대체의사소통 수단의 확대를 제안하였다.

Abstract

The study analyzed the variables related to the parenting stress of the grandparents who caregive their grandchildren with severe disabilities. The study also considered the ways of increasing positive adaptation as well as decreasing the parenting stress. The study included 82 grandparents who are caregiving their grandchildren with severe disabilities for a part-time or full-time. The grandparent participants responded on the Korean translation of the Parenting Stress Index/Short Form (PSI/SF). As the results, the study revealed the marriage status, educational level, distance from their grandchild, and caregiving time as the variables related to grandparents’ demographic characteristics. As well, the variables related to the grandchildren included a placement of school, a severity of disability, and a way of communication. Based on the results of the study, the study suggested psychological support for the grandparents, provision of information regarding their grandchild’s disability, increase of the respite program, extension of the inclusive education, and enlargement of the augmentative and alternative communication to decrease grandparents’ parenting stress and increase their positive adaptation.
