Abstract

본 연구의 목적은 관계상실을 경험한 대학생의 삶의 의미가 정신건강에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 외상 후 성장의 매개효과를 검증해보는 것이었다. 이를 위해 대전 충청권 대학교의 재학생 349명을 대상으로 자료를 분석하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test와 일원분산분석, 상관분석, 위계적 회귀분석을 사용하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 삶의 의미와 외상 후 성장은 정신건강에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 삶의 의미와 외상 후 성장은 정신건강과 정적상관을 나타내었다. 셋째, 외상 후 성장은 삶의 의미가 정신건강에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 관계 상실을 경험한 대학생의 긍정적인 정신건강 형성을 위하여 삶의 의미를 발견하고 외상 후 성장할 수 있도록 다양한 교육과 상담과정, 그리고 정책적 보완이 요구되며, 마지막으로 본 연구의 함의와 시사점 및 연구의 한계 그리고 후속연구를 위한 제언을 제시하였다.
