Abstract

A structured group program was implemented to facilitate mindfulness and self-compassion through a short meditation practices and its effects on the emotional well-being of counseling psychology students at a cyber university were observed. The participants attended a 4-week group program. Twenty-five total participants completed pre- and post-treatment measures of depression, psychological well-being, positive and negative emotions, mindfulness, and self-compassion. This program could provide a useful experiential introduction to mindfulness and self-compassion training for counseling undergraduate psychology students. Future studies should address the effects of practice on the mindfulness and self-compassion in larger student groups exposed to a range of stressful situations.

본 연구에서는 서울시내에 있는 S 사이버대학교 상담심리학과에 재학중인 대학생을 대상으로 단축형 집단 프로그램을 실시하고 그 효과를 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서 사용된 명상 프로그램은 마음챙김 인지치료와 자기-자비 프로그램을 혼합한 프로그램으로 구조화된 집단 프로그램 형식으로 구성되었으며 참가자들의 정서적 안녕감을 증진시키는 것을 목표로 하였다. 단축형 집단 프로그램에 참여한 참가자들은 4주간의 오프라인 집단 프로그램에 참여하였다. 전체 25명의 참가자들은 프로그램 사전과 사후에 우울, 심리적 안녕감, 긍정 및 부정적 정서, 마음챙김 및 자기 자비 측정치들을 실시하였다. 본 연구는 마음챙김 및 자기 자비 명상이 상담심리 대학생들의 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 살펴볼 수 있는 경험적 기초를 제공해주고 있다. 향후 심리학 전공 대학생 외에 여타의 다른 전공 대학생들을 대상으로 마음챙김과 자기 자비 명상을 접목한 프로그램을 실시하여 다양한 스트레스 상황에 노출되어 있는 대학생들의 정신 건강에 이 프로그램이 어떤 영향을 미치는지 반복 검증해보는 것이 필요할 것이다.
