Abstract

Recently, devices that help the general public's urination activity have been developed, but products that take into account the user's urination habits, device functions, and user accessibility are still insufficient. This study conducted a usability evaluation to find user satisfaction and improvement points of products based on smart automatic urine disposer that have convergence and complex functions such as automatic suction functions. There are 21 indicators used in usability evaluation, and were developed based on safety, operability, and satisfaction. As a result, functional satisfaction was high, but in terms of design, problems to be improved such as handles were presented. Therefore, through this study, it was found that the satisfaction of the automatic urine disposer in terms of performance cannot be representative of the product, and the importance of developing usability evaluation index to find product problems.

최근 일반인의 배뇨활동에 도움을 주는 장치가 개발되고 있으나, 사용자의 배뇨 습관과 기능, 사용자의 접근성 등을 고려한 제품은 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 배뇨활동에 도움을 주는 장치 중 자동 석션 기능 등 융, 복합 기능을 지니고 있는 스마트 자동 소변처리기를 기준으로 사용자의 만족도와 제품의 개선점을 찾고자 사용성평가를 실시하였다. 개발된 사용성평가 지표는 모두 21개이며, 안전성과 조작성, 만족도를 기준으로 개발하였다. 그 결과 기능적인 만족도는 높았으나, 디자인 측면에서는 손잡이 등의 개선해야 할 문제점이 제시되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 자동 소변처리기의 성능측면의 만족도가 제품을 대표할 수 없으며, 제품의 문제점을 찾기 위한 사용성평가 지표 개발의 중요성을 알게 되었다.
