Abstract
본 연구의 목적은 ICT 기반 생활환경 모니터링 기기에 대한 독거노인의 지속 사용 의향 및 추천 의향 수준과이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는 것이다. 강원도 원주시 소재 복지관의 노인맞춤돌봄서비스 이용 노인 중 ICT 기반생활환경 모니터링 기기를 설치한 독거노인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 총 116명의 자료를 대상으로 기술통계및 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, ICT 기반 생활환경 모니터링 기기에 대한 지속 사용 의향은 5.32점(7점 척도)으로 나타났으며, 주관적 건강상태, 만성질환 수, 기기 디자인 만족도, 기대 일치가 높을수록 지속 사용 의향이 높은것으로 나타났다. 추천 의향은 3.82점(5점 척도)으로 나타났으며, 기기 관리 및 보관 만족도, 기기에 대한 신뢰, 기대일치가 높을수록 추천 의향이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 다음과 같은 제언을 도출하였다. 첫째, ICT 기반 돌봄 보조기기의 개발에 있어서 독거노인의 거부감과 불안을 낮출 수 있는 디자인을 고려해야 한다. 둘째, 보관과관리가 편리한 기기가 개발되어야 한다. 마지막으로, ICT 기반 돌봄 서비스 제공자는 독거노인이 기기를 신뢰할 수 있도록 기기의 기능과 기기를 통해 제공되는 서비스를 가시적으로 이해할 수 있는 지원을 제공해야 한다.
This study investigated the factors influencing the intention of elderly individuals living alone to continue using and recommending ICT-based living environment monitoring devices. A survey was conducted on elderly individuals living alone who received 'customized care services' using devices in a welfare facility in Wonju, Gangwon Province. A total of 116 datasets were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. A mean score of 5.32/7 was awarded for the intention to continue usage, and 3.82/5 for recommendation intention. Factors positively associated with continuous usage intention included better self-rated health, a higher number of chronic diseases, greater satisfaction with the device's design, and confirmation of expectations. Factors associated with a higher recommendation intention included greater satisfaction with device management/storage, higher trustworthiness, and confirmation of expectations. The following recommendations are proposed: (1) ICT-based care devices should be designed to alleviate anxiety among elderly individuals. (2) Focus should be placed on developing devices that are convenient to manage and store. (3) Service providers should help elderly individuals understand device functions and the service provided, thereby fostering trust in the device.
