Study on the Effectiveness of Resilient Parenting Program

"탄력적 부모되기" 프로그램의 효과성연구

This study is about the verification of the effectiveness of 'Resilient Parenting Program' based on Walsh's family resilience approach. The program was developed for strengthening parenting self-efficacy and increasing parent satisfaction and family relation as well. The program was practiced once a week for 8 weeks at the B community service center and each session lasted for 2 hours. The participants of the program were 13 mothers of elementary schools who had a need to increase their parenting skills and satisfaction. Among the 13 participants, 7 of them were arranged to the experimental group and 6 of them were included to the control group. The scores of the two groups at the point of pre-test, post-test and follow-up test, 3 months after the termination of the program, were analysed and compared through the Wilcoxen matched pairs signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test. The scales adapted in this study were the Parent Satisfaction Scale, the Parenting Self-efficacy Scale, and the Family Relation Scale. As the results of the analyses, there were significant differences of the increases in the area of parent-child relationship satisfaction, general parent satisfaction, parenting self-efficacy, and family relation between the two groups. In conclusion, the effectiveness and utilization of the program were confirmed. Also, it is verified that the program can be an important tool for strengthening healthy family functioning through the interventions of parents in the field of community based social work practice.

본 연구에서는 부모역할 수행 능력을 강화하고, 만족감을 증진시키며, 가족관계를 향상하여 가족의 긍정적 기능을 증진할 수 있는 '탄력적 부모되기' 프로그램을 지역사회복지관을 중심으로 적용하여 프로그램의 효과성을 검증하였다. 프로그램은 주 1회, 매 2시간씩, 총 8회로 실시되었으며, 프로그램의 효과성은 실험집단과 통제집단의 비교분석을 통해 부모역할 만족도, 양육효능감, 그리고 가족관계 척도를 사용하여 검증되었다. 이를 위해 사전조사, 사후조사, 그리고 종료 3개월 후 추후조사가 각각 실시되었으며, Wilcoxen Matched Pairs Signed-Rank Test와 Mann-Whitney U Test가 활용되었다. 분석결과 프로그램에 참여한 실험집단의 대상자들은 부모-자녀관계 만족도, 부모역할에 대한 일반적 만족도, 자녀양육에 대안 효능감과 전반적 양육능력, 학습지도능력, 그리고 가족관계와 가족 간 수용존중능력 영역에서 유의미한 양상을 보였다. 이로 인해 프로그램의 효과성이 검증되었다고 알 수 있으며, 지역사회를 중심으로 부모역할능력을 강화하고 가족기능을 증진하는 사회복지실천의 도구로서 유용성이 있다고 알 수 있다.
