Abstract

This study looked into the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT) program on the premenstrual symptoms, attitudes toward menstruation and perceived stress, in females in their 20's suffering from premenstrual syndrome(PMS). Among the 263 students from 3~4 year universities, 21 were selected as participants. 7 were assigned to the acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT) group, 7 were assigned to the cognitive behavior therapy(CBT) group, and 7 were assigned to the control group. As a result, emotional factor from the premenstrual symptoms has significantly decreased more in the acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT) group, and the cognitive behavior therapy(CBT) group in comparison to the control group. In regards to attitudes toward menstruation, there were no statistical significance in the acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT) group, however there were positive changes, and the cognitive behavior therapy(CBT) group displayed significant change in the follow-up study. In perceived stress, acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT) group displayed more significant decrease than the control group and the cognitive behavior therapy(CBT) group, and that level remained unchanged until the follow-up study.

본 연구는 수용전념치료 프로그램이 월경전증후군을 가진 20대 여성들의 월경 전 증상, 월경에 대한 태도 및 지각된 스트레스에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 3~4년제 대학생 263명 중 21명이 참가자로 선발되었다. 참가자들은 월경전증후군 진단을 받았고, 수용전념치료집단 7명, 인지행동치료집단 7명, 통제집단 7명으로 무선할당 되었다. 수용전념치료와 인지행동치료프로그램은 주 2회씩 총 10회로 진행되는 도중 수용전념치료 집단에서 참가자 1명이 개인사정으로 인해서 탈락되었다. 프로그램 종료 후 월경 시작 시점에 사후 검사가 실시되었고, 약 1달 뒤 월경 시점에 추적 조사가 이루어졌다. 그 결과, 월경 전 증상 중 정서요인이 수용전념치료집단과 인지행동치료집단이 통제집단에 비해 유의하게 더 감소되었다. 월경에 대한 태도는 수용전념치료집단에서 통계적으로 유의하지 않았지만 긍정적으로 변화되었고, 인지행동치료집단은 추적조사에서 유의하게 변화되었다. 지각된 스트레스는 수용전념치료 집단이 통제집단과 인지행동치료집단보다 유의하게 더 감소되었고, 그 수준은 추적조사까지 유지되었다. 마지막으로, 본 연구의 의의와 제한점 및 후속 연구에 대한 제언이 논의되었다.
