Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of tea meditation intervention on the mindfulness and psychological well-being of middle-aged women with depression. The participants were recruited from the Life-Long Education Center of B university in B City. The research design was 2 (experimental vs control group) ${\times}3$ (pre, post, follow-up). A total of twenty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group, consisting of 10 participants each. The program consists of ten sessions, including psychological well-being improvement activities and mindfulness meditation practices with tea. The levels of mindfulness and psychological well-being (self-acceptance, positive relation with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose of life and personal growth) showed statistically significant increases in the post-program and follow-up measurements, as compared to the pre-program measurements.

본 연구의 목적은 우울성향을 가지고 있는 중년여성을 대상으로 차명상 프로그램이 마음챙김과 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 효과성을 파악하기 위함이다. B시 B대학 평생교육원에 자발적으로 등록한 경도-중등도의 우울증을 경험하는 20명을 선발하여, 실험 및 통제집단에 각 10명씩 무선 할당하였다. 실험집단 참여자는 매주 2회씩 80분 동안 5주에 걸쳐 10회기의 차명상 프로그램 참여하였다. 마음챙김 수준과 심리적 안녕감을 사전, 사후, 추후에 각각 측정하여 반복측성 분산분석을 실시한 결과, 실험집단 참여자들은 통제집단의 참여자들보다 마음챙김 수준이 유의미하게 증가하였으며, 심리적 안녕감도 유의미한 수준의 증가를 보여주었다. 심리적 안녕감의 하위 요인인 자기 수용성, 긍정적 대인관계, 자율성, 환경통제, 삶의 목적 및 개인적 성장이 사후 및 추후 시점에서 각각 유의미한 수준으로 증가는 것으로 나타났다. 차명상 프로그램이 우울성향을 치유하고, 심리적 안녕감을 증진시킨다는 선행연구를 지지하고 있다. 따라서 본 차명상 프로그램은 우울성향을 가진 중년여성들의 마음챙김 능력을 함양하고, 삶의 질을 개선하기 위한 새로운 대안적 프로그램임을 시사한다. 본 연구에서 한계점과 향후 후속연구에서 필요성을 제언하였다.
