This study aims to claim that the right of choice is offered or judged not by social rehabilitation instructors or experts but residents in group hame and also offer basic materials that gives a guidance to improve a quality of residents" life by expanding social welfare service and opportunities of appropriate education for their need and strengthening their options for their independent lives.
For this study, I made up one-to-one questionnaire and postal questionnaire for hame helpers inhabiting in group homes from December in 2006 to January in 2007 and used 112 of 102 questionnaire for the purpose of research.
This study analyzes the result fran the degree of home helpers" interfering role according to the residents" right of choice and determination and the degree of their participation.
Through this study, as I expected from the purpose of the study, it is revealed that home helpers" role is focused on simply permanent protection for the mentally retarded. As a result, home helpers" interfering role can not help do a passive function as to have a great influence of the mentally retarded" living pattern and improve their the way of thought or living in small communities with their right of choice and determination. There is a lack of home helpers; professional knowledge to help the mentally retarded" daily lives. Therefore, to deal with their personal problems, the degree home helpers" interfering role takes up a great portion on the welfare service for the disabled.
In this concern, there should be prompt measure for the base of workers" profession and through the workers" profession and the efficient program for them. the quality of life for group home residents should be improved.
