본 연구는 직장장애인의 건강체력 관리의 어려움을 이해하고자 현상학적 연구방법을 적용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 한국장애인고용공단 산하 J직업능력개발원에 재학 중인 훈련생중 직장 근무경험이 있는 장애인 2명을 대상으로 심층면담을 실시하여 자료를 수집ㆍ분석하였으며, 연구목적 달성을 위해 Colaizzi(2002)의 현상학적 분석방법을 적용하였다. 이는 일반적인 내용을 묶어 추상화 시키고 의미 있는 주제를 도출해 낸 후 개인적인 관심과 공통적인 속성을 도출하였으며, 연구의 진실성 확보를 위해 심층면담과 결과의 분석과정 그리고 글쓰기 등 연구전반의 과정에 대해 삼각검증법을 실시하였다. 직장장애인의 건강체력 관리의 어려움에 대한 연구결과로서 ‘자기관리 한계’, ‘직무수행 곤란’, ‘환경제약’, ‘체육 인프라 제약‘ 라는 4개의 주제와 ‘자기관리 소홀’, ‘자기관리의 어려움’, ‘시간 관리의 불규칙성’, ‘업무스트레스 및 인간관계의 갈등’, ‘편의시설 제약’, ‘이동권 제약‘ , ‘장애인체육지도자 부재’, ‘장애인체육시설 부족’, ‘맞춤형 장애인체육 프로그램 부재’ 라는 9개의 하위주제를 도출하였다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 직장장애인의 건강체력 증진을 위해 정책적 개입에 대한 필요성을 시사하였다.
This study applied the phenomenological research method to understand difficulties in health/fitness care of workers with disabilities. For this, data was collected/analyzed by performing in-depth interview with two people with disabilities who had experience in work among trainees of J Research Institute for Vocational Education & Training under Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled. To achieve the research objective, Colaizzi(2002)'s phenomenological analysis was applied. After drawing meaningful themes that tied general contents for the abstraction, personal interests and common attributes were drawn. To secure the veracity of the study, the triangulation was conducted for the overall processes of the study such as in-depth interview, analytical process of results, and writing. In the results of the study on health/fitness care of office workers with disabilities, total four themes such as ‘limitation in selfmanagement’, ‘difficulty in job performance’, ‘environmental constraint’, and ‘restriction in sports infrastructure‘, and total nine sub-themes such as ‘negligence in self-management’, ‘difficulty in self management’, ‘irregularity of time management’, ‘work stress & interpersonal conflicts’, ‘lacking in amenities’, ‘limitation to mobility right‘, ‘absence of sports instructors for the disabled’, ‘lacking in sport facilities for the disabled’, and ‘absence of sport programs for the disabled’ were drawn. The results of this study were helpful to understand difficulties in health/fitness care of office workers with disabilities, and also suggested the necessity of institutional interventions to establish the health service support system for the disabled between works and medical institutes, to develop healthcare support programs for workers with disabilities, to promote the employment stability by establishing the sport/work environment for workers with disabilities, and to expand the mobility right and amenities for workers with disabilities.
