Abstract

This study investigated the effect of loving-kindness meditation intervention on the mindfulness, resilience and stress of college students. Thirty students not receiving any training in meditation intervention were randomly divided into meditation (15 subjects) and control (15 subjects)groups. The meditation group underwent meditation for 10 weeks, once a week, about 80 minutes each time. The results revealed that the experimental group showed significant improvement effect on mindfulness, resilience, and stress compared to the control group. It was concluded that loving-kindness meditation can effectively improve mindfulness, resilience and stress for college students.

본 연구의 목적은 자비명상 프로그램이 대학생들의 마음챙김, 회복 탄력성, 스트레스에 미치는 효과를 검증하기 위하여 실시하였다. 본 프로그램에 참여한 대학생은 C지역의 N대학에서 교양과정에 등록한 30명을 추첨을 통하여 실험집단 및 통제집단에 각각 15명씩 무선할당하였다. 실험집단 참여자는 매주 1회씩 80분 동안 10주에 걸쳐 10회기의 자비명상 프로그램 참여하였다. 마음챙김, 회복 탄력성 및 스트레스 수준을 사전, 사후, 추후에 각각 측정하여 반복측정 분산분석을 실시한 결과, 실험집단 참여자들은 통제집단의 참여자들보다 마음챙김 수준이 유의미하게 증가하였다. 회복 탄력성 전체 점수 및 하위요인인 통제성, 낙관성 및 사회성에서도 유의미한 수준의 차이가 나타났다. 스트레스 수준 또한 전체 점수 및 긴장, 공격성, 신체화, 화, 우울, 피로, 좌절의 각 하위척도에서도 유의미한 수준의 차이가 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 자비명상 프로그램이 대학생들의 마음챙김, 회복 탄력성, 스트레스 감소에 긍정적 효과가 있음이 밝혀졌다. 따라서 본 자비명상 프로그램은 대학생들의 마음챙김 능력을 함양하고, 회복탄력성을 증진시키고, 스트레스를 완화하는 대안적 프로그램으로 활용할 수 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구에서 한계점과 향후 후속연구에서 필요성을 제언하였다.
