Abstract
본 연구는 통합 자조모임에 참여하는 여성 발달장애인과 비장애인의 경험과 인식을 파악하고, 이를 바탕으로 발달장애인과 비장애인이 함께하는 자조모임 운영을 위해 필요한 요소들을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 통합 자조모임에 참여 중인 여성 발달장애인과 비장애인 12명을 대상으로 개발된 질문지를 바탕으로 개별 면담을 실시하였다. 면담 자료 분석을 통해 자조모임의 시작 및 정체성, 자조모임의 좋은 점, 자조모임 운영상의 어려움, 자조모임 참여의 어려움, 자조모임 내 관계 및 역할, 그리고 자조모임의 지속적인 운영을 위해 필요한 것의 6개의 대주제와 25개의 하위주제가 도출되었다. 통합 자조모임은 활동 목적인 기후 위기에 대한 장애 여성의 인식을 강화하고, 장애 여성과 비장애 여성 간의 동등한 관계 형성에 기여하였다. 참여자들은 모임활동을 통해 긍정적인 경험을 하였으나, 모임의 지속적인 운영을 위한 재정적, 시간적, 공간적 자원의 부족이 문제로 지적되었다. 이에 따라, 통합 자조모임의 지속적인 운영과 확장을 위해서는 체계적인 금전적 지원, 역할 분담 및 참여자 확대, 그리고 기후 위기와 사회 정의에 있어 여성과 장애인의 취약성을 인식하고 지원하는 사회적 노력이 필요함을 시사한다.
This study aims to understand the experiences and perceptions of women with developmental disabilities and non-disabled women participating in integrated support groups, and to identify the necessary elements for the operation of support groups involving both individuals with and without disabilities. To achieve this, individual interviews were conducted based on a questionnaire developed for 12 women with developmental disabilities and non-disabled women participating in integrated support groups. Through the analysis of interview data, six major themes and 25 sub-themes were derived: "Initiation and Identity of the Group," "Benefits of the Group," "Challenges in Group Operation," "Difficulties in Group Participation," "Relationships and Roles within the Group," and "Necessities for the Sustainable Operation of Support Groups." Integrated support groups have strengthened the awareness of disabled women regarding climate crisis and contributed to the formation of equal relationships between disabled and non-disabled women. Participants have had positive experiences through group activities; however, the lack of financial, temporal, and spatial resources for the sustainable operation of the groups has been identified as a problem. Therefore, it suggests that systematic financial support, role allocation and expansion of participants, and social efforts to recognize and support the vulnerability of women and people with disabilities in climate crisis and social justice are necessary for the sustainable operation and expansion of integrated support groups.
