연구목적: 본 연구는 지역주민을 대상으로 정신장애인에 대한 인권감수성의 수준과 관련요인을 파악하기 위하여 실시되었다. 연구방법: 연구대상자는 M시와 C군에 거주하는 30대에서 60대 성인 300명이었다. 자료수집은 2010년 11월 1달간 구조화된 자기기입형 설문지를 이용하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS win 18.0을 이용하여 t 검정과 분산분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과: 전반적인 인권감수성은 60점 만점에 16.2점, 상황지각은 20점 만점에 5.2점, 결과지각은 5.4점, 책임지각은 5.6점이었다. 인권별로 ‘관리 받을 권리’가 15점 만점에 5.7점으로 가장 높았고, ‘신체의 자유권’이 2.8점으로 가장 낮았다. 인권감수성은 30대가 60대에 비해, 고졸이상이 중졸이하보다, 시거주자가 군거주자에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 결론: 정신장애인에 대한 지역주민의 인권감수성은 매우 낮은 수준으로 이를 향상시키기 위한 중재프로그램이 요구된다.
