SNS 기반 아버지 역할 증진 프로그램이장애 유아 아버지의 양육 참여와 역할 만족도, 아버지-유아 상호작용 행동에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the SNS-based paternal role program for fathers of young children with disabilities and to look at the father’s involvement, role satisfaction, and father-child interactions. Twenty families of young children with a disability in 3 to 5 year olds participated in the study. The contents of this program consist of a combination of two group activities, seven individual SNS activities, and one individual home visit activity, depending on factors of knowledge information support, parenting skill support, and emotional support. To review the effects of the intervention, the father’s involvement and role satisfaction are analyzed using the independent t-test, whereas the father-child interactions are analyzed using the dependent t-test. As a result, fathers and mothers in the experimental group showed statistically significant differences in the father’s involvement. But the father's role satisfaction in the experimental group reveal no statistically significant differences. Comparing the pre-post changes of experimental group, the father’s interactive behavior showed a statistically significant difference in showing affection, promoting communication, and proposing play, and in non-response behavior. The interactive behavior of young children showed a statistically significant difference in the type of participation with their fathers, and in non-participating behavior. This study is meaningful in that it has provided a way to educate fathers on the SNS-based program and confirmed the behavior changes in fathers, mothers, and young children with disabilities.
