Abstract

|
The purpose of this research is to analyze the trend of advanced researches associated with DOUSA-method as psychological rehabilitation intervention for physical and psychological improvement of persons with disabilities and to suggest the direction of future researches on DOUSA-method.
For this, 54 theses including advanced researches and dissertations presented in Korean Journals from 1991 to 2009 were the final analysis objects.
To see the general features of the analyzed theses, case studies were generally used as a research type and experimental researches were 30%. General types of research subjects were physical improvement of children with physical disabilities, but the researches on children with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities and sensory processing disorder were insufficient. Ages of subjects were generally pre-school ages and early school ages, but the researches on adolescents were few. The number of subjects were from 1 to 3 and for genders, researches on female persons with disabilities were insufficient. For variables, independent variables were mostly researches applying whole DOUSA-method, and dependent variables were mostly researches on physical improvement.
To see the qualitative features of intervention, intervention time was more than 100 minutes at the beginning but as research has processed it was 40 to 50 minutes. About 45% of researches used 21 to 40 sessions. Periods of training were varied and environments of intervention were the places where the subjects were belonged. There were lots of case studies so before and after evaluation was mostly used as a research design and phased measurement was the following. Only the single subject researches calculated the reliabilities and only 10% of the theses used statistical techniques. Multiple measurements were used rather than single measurements and same measurement scale was consistently used.
Seen from these results, types, subjects and designs of future research should be various, and to make sure the data analysis objective, effectiveness of intervention should be presented using statistical techniques, various measurement scales and scientific proof tools.
