Abstract

Objective : The purpose of study is to investigate the correlation between sensory processing pattern and depression and anxiety of university students. Methods : A designed questionnaire for this study has been distributed to university students for about a month (10th to 29th of August, 2016). The questionnaire is consisted of 5 items for personal characteristics, 60 items for adult/adolescent sensory profile, 21 items from the Beck depression scale-2, and 21 items from the Beck anxiety scale. The data has been collected from 174 university students and analyzed by SPSS version 22.0 for descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation analysis, and Pearson correlation. Results : For depression, there is significant positive correlation with low registration, sensory sensitivity, and sensory avoiding among the sensory processing patterns. For anxiety, all sensory processing patterns are significantly correlated with it. Conclusion : Based on the result of this study, it is recommended for academic staffs or health care professionals to consider the impact of sensory processing patterns on psychological function when they develop an educational program for university students or plan a treatment for young clients.

목적 : 본 연구는 대학생에서 감각처리유형과 우울, 불안과의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 연구기간은 2016년 10월 10일부터 10월 29일까지로 174명의 대학생에게 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사의 내용은 개인적 특징, 청소년/성인감각프로파일, Beck 우울척도 2판, Beck 불안척도로 구성하였다. 통계처리는 SPSS version 22.0을 사용하여 기술통계, 교차분석, Pearson상관분석을 하였다. 결과 : 감각처리유형 중 낮은등록, 감각민감, 감각회피는 우울과 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 불안은 모든 감각처리유형과 관련성이 있었다. 결론 : 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 대학생과 함께 생활하는 부모, 교수, 그리고 보건의료분야의 전문가들은 감각처리와 감정과의 관련성을 고려하여 지도 및 교육, 치료프로그램을 계획할 필요가 있다.
