Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the reliability and validity of the Korean self-compassion scale using data from 312 correctional workers. To validate the self-compassion scale using the collected data, correlational analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were applied. To explore relationships between the self-compassion scale and related instruments, five instruments were used (the Korean occupational stress scale, the center for epidemiological studies depression scale, the Maslach burnout inventory scale, perceived stress scale, and the satisfaction with life scale). The results showed that the collected data better fit the 6-factor model than the 3-factor and 2-factor models. There were statistically significant relationships between the self-compassion scale and five other scales. These results suggest that the self-compassion scale is a good instrument to examine risk factors that can remain during continuous stress situations and to explore protective factors that can maintain the therapeutic relationship. The implications of this study and future research directions were also discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 한국판 자기자비 척도(Korean self-compassion scale)의 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증하기 위해 교정기관 종사자들을 대상으로 수집된 자료와 관련된 척도들 간 관계를 알아보는 것이다. 자기자비척도의 타당화를 위해 312부의 설문지가 최종분석에 포함되었으며, 상관분석, 탐색적-확인적 요인분석을 실시하였다. 관련 척도와 신뢰도를 알아보기 위해 한국인 직무스트레스 척도(Korean occupational stress scale), 우울척도(The center for epidemiological studies depression scale), 소진척도(Maslach burnout inventory scale), 스트레스 지각척도(perceived stress scale), 삶의 만족도 척도(satisfaction with life scale)를 사용하였다. 탐색적 요인분석결과 자기자비척도는 자기친절, 자기비난, 보편적 인간성, 고립, 마음챙김, 과잉동일시로 구성된 6요인 모형이 3요인 혹은 2요인 모형보다 더 높은 모형적합도를 보였다. 최종 모형인 6요인 간 서로 유의미한 상관을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며 직무스트레스, 소진, 스트레스 지각, 삶의 만족도 척도들과 유의미한 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 자기자비척도가 스트레스 상황에 지속적으로 노출되는 위험요인을 낮추고, 치료적 관계를 유지할 수 있는 보호요인을 측정하는 도구임을 시사한다. 연구결과를 기반으로 연구의 함의점과 추후연구를 논의하였다.
