ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to study ways to eliminate social exclusion through the use of digital devices by people with disabilities in the digital age. The research results are as follows. First, all social exclusion factors had an effect on quality of life. Second, except for health, family, social participation, finance, culture, and employment in the social exclusion factors had an effect on digital device usage attitude. Third, except for health, family, social participation, finance, culture, and employment in the social exclusion factors had an effect on digital device usage self-efficacy. Fourth, digital device usage attitude had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between family, social participation, finance, culture, and employment factors of social exclusion and quality of life. Fifth, digital device usage self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between family, social participation, finance, culture, and employment factors of social exclusion and quality of life. Sixth, differences by gender were found in the family factor of social exclusion. Seventh, differences by age were found in social exclusion, quality of life, digital device usage attitude, and digital device usage self-efficacy. Eighth, differences by disability type were shown in social exclusion, quality of life, digital device usage attitude, and digital device usage self-efficacy. Through this study, we presented effective ways to use digital devices. We hope that these ways will contribute to eliminating social exclusion and improving quality of life for people with disabilities, and to achieving sustainable social integration while increasing digital inclusion for people with disabilities.
