The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting the life satisfaction
among the person with acquired disability, based on the four categories(body
structures and functions, activities and participation, personal factors, environmental
factors) suggested by World Health Organization's International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health(ICF). Using the data of 'Survey for Developing
Rehabilitation Assessment Tool' built by National Pension Service(NPS), this study
included 880 disability pension recipients enrolled in NPS. The result indicated that
economic activity(p<.01) and social life(p<.05) in activities and participation factors,
acceptance level of disability(p<.001) in personal factors, and physical
disability(p<.05) and attitudinal disability(p<.05) in environmental factors were the
factors affecting the life satisfaction among the person with acquired disability.
Particularly, among these factors, acceptance level of disability was the most
important factor affecting the life satisfaction. Implications for policy, practice, and
future research for improving the life satisfaction of the person with acquired
disability were suggested.
