초록

본 연구는 코로나바이러스감염증 19(COVID-19)시대에 실존주의 심리치료를 통해 부각되기 시작한 삶의 의미에 대해 그것이 갖는 함의를 논의하였다. 코로나바이러스감염증 19 팬데믹 상황에서 우리는 의미 있는 삶을 살아가기 위한 노력을 하고 있으며, 과연 어떻게 살아가는 것이 의미 있는 삶인지 개인과 공동체는 의미 찾기에 대한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 인류는 평안한 삶을 위한 전제를 가지며 과거부터 삶의 의미에 대한 관심이 지속되었다. 2019년 12월 전 세계를 강타한 COVID-19라는 치명적인 바이러스는 사람들에게 불안, 소외, 우울 등 스트레스를 형성하며 개인과 공동체의 삶을 위태롭게 하였다. 삶의 의미에 대한 연구는 COVID-19 이전에도 활발하였지만, 바이러스의 세계적인 대유행 속에 사람들의 삶의 의미에 대한 변화와 각 개인에게 COVID-19는 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지를 살펴보는 것이 필요하다고 생각한다. 다시 말해 COVID-19시대에 우리 삶의 의미를 명확히 한다라는 것은 스트레스를 줄이는 대처이며 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위한 촉매제이기도 하다. 본 연구는 삶의 의미에 대한 다양한 시각과 결과를 살펴보며 COVID-19시대에 삶의 질을 향상시킬수 있는 방안을 마련하는데 기초연구를 제공하고자 한다.

This study discussed its implications for the meaning in life, which began to emerge through existential psychotherapy in the era of coronavirus infection 19 (COVID-19). In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are making efforts to live a meaningful life, and individuals and communities are making efforts to find meaning in how to live a meaningful life. Humanity has a premise for a peaceful life, and since the past, interest in the meaning in life has continued. The deadly virus called COVID-19, which hit the world in December 2019, created stress such as anxiety, alienation, and depression in people, endangering the lives of individuals and communities. Research on the meaning in life was active even before COVID-19, but I think it is necessary to look at the changes in people's meaning in life and how COVID-19 is affecting each individual amid the global pandemic of the virus. In other words, clarifying the meaning of our lives in the era of COVID-19 is a coping to reduce stress and a catalyst to improve the quality of life. This study aims to provide basic research to prepare ways to improve the quality of life in the era of COVID-19 by examining various perspectives and results on the meaning in life.
