Abstract

This study aimed to systematically review the literature on the stress reduction of meaning-centered therapy (MCT) studies in Korea and to identify the characteristics of MCT for stress reduction. MCT studies aimed at reducing stress symptoms were searched among peer reviewed journal articles and unpublished dissertations until April, 2020. Two independent researchers assessed the risk of bias and the quality of the report using Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network criteria. As a result of searching with 7 databases, 7 studies were finally selected. Seven MCTs were for all age groups, and 5 studies reported MCT was effective in reducing stress symptoms. Both single and combined type interventions were effective in reducing stress symptom, Researchers used the combined MCT more than single MCT program. The study with no significant effect was related to school test stress. There is a need to develop MCTs suitable for school-age youth with test stress in the future.

본 연구는 우리나라에서 연구된 의미요법의 스트레스 감소 효과에 관한 문헌을 체계적으로 살펴보고 의미요법의 특성과 스트레스 감소 효과를 분석하기 위하여 실시되었다. 2020년 4월까지 국내에서 출판된 연구논문과 미출판 학위논문 중 스트레스 감소를 목적으로 한 의미요법 연구를 검색하였다. 두 명의 연구자가 Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network criteria를 사용하여 비뚤림 위험과 연구의 질평가를 수행하였다. 국내 학술 데이터베이스 7개를 사용하여 검색한 결과, 최종 선정된 논문은 7편이었다. 7편의 의미요법은 전 연령층을 대상으로 시행한 것이었고 5편의 연구에서 의미요법이 스트레스 감소에 효과적이라는 결과를 보고하였다. 단일중재와 병합중재 모두 스트레스 감소에 효과적이나 단일중재보다 의미요법에 기반한 병합중재가 더 많이 실시되고 있었다. 효과가 유의하지 않았던 연구는 시험과 진학 스트레스 특성을 반영하지 못한 것이었다. 향후 수험생의 스트레스 관리에 적합한 의미요법을 개발할 필요가 있다.
