Abstract

Morbidity, mortality, mental health and problem behavior appears to be high in adolescence, but there is no proper intervention. This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of the neurofeedback training on the general health status, mental health and problem behavior, and the brain function quotient through structured questionnaires and brain waves of 11 high school students (experimental group 5, control group 6). The study was conducted at I high school in Seoul from September to December, 2012. The subjects participated in the neurofeedback training twice a week for a total of 20 sessions by trained researcher. The data was analyzed using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test depending on the normality using SPSS 20.0. Significant improvement was observed in the emotion quotient and stress resistance quotient (left, right) among the brain function quotient, but not in the general health status, mental health and problem behavior.

최근 청소년기의 이환율과 사망률, 정신건강과 문제행동의 위험 수준이 심각하나 적절한 중재가 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 유사실험 연구는 뉴로피드백 훈련이 고등학생의 일반적 건강수준, 정신건강과 문제행동 및 뇌기능 지수에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 뉴로피드백 훈련은 2012년 9월부터 12월, 주 2회(총 20회)에 걸쳐 방과 후 교내 컴퓨터실에서 훈련된 연구자 1인에 의해 진행되었으며 구조화된 설문지와 뇌기능 프로그램을 이용하여 자료수집하였다. 대상자는 S시 I고등학교에 재학 중인 고등학생으로, 대조군 6명과 실험군 5명이 최종 분석되었다. 자료는 SPSS 20.0을 이용하여 정규성 검정 후 paired t-test와 Wilcoxon signed rank test로 효과 검증하였다. 뉴로피드백 훈련 결과, 일반적 건강수준, 정신건강과 문제행동은 유의미한 차이는 없었으나 통계적으로 향상되었고, 뇌기능 지수 가운데 정서지수와 좌 우 육체적, 정신적 스트레스 저항지수가 두 군 간에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
