Abstract

This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of a recently developed and applied art therapy program. The subjects of the study were twenty-two students at two middle schools in Busan, Korea. Before conducting the study, the parents' agreement was sought, after which the study program was explained to the participating students in private interviews. The twenty-two students were divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group, with eleven students in each group. Ten sessions of ninety minutes each, twice a week, were conducted for the experimental group. The verification of the effectiveness was done through pre, post, and follow-up examinations. The results of the data analysis are as follows. First, the art therapy program appeared to help reduce suicidal thoughts among those who had them. Second, the art therapy program reduced the depression of adolescents in the study. Third, the art therapy program improved the self-esteem of the study's subjects. In addition, a follow-up examination showed that the effects of the program appear to last. This paper offers proposals for interventions in the suicidal thoughts of adolescents and the practical implication of the interventions and future research paths.

본 연구의 목적은 청소년을 위한 미술치료 프로그램을 개발·적용한 후 그 효과를 확인하는 것이다. 연구대상은 부산 소재 2개 중학교에서 선별 된 학생 중 학부모의 동의를 받은 22명을 대상으로 프로그램 실시하였다. 실시전 개별적인 면담을 통해 프로그램에 대해 설명하고 총 22명 중 11명은 실험집단에 11명은 통제집단에 배정하였다. 각 프로그램은 실험집단을 대상으로 주2회, 90분씩 총 10회기 동안 실시되었다. 프로그램의 효과 검증은 사전, 사후, 추후 검사를 통해 이루어졌다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미술치료 프로그램이 자살생각 관심군 청소년의 자살생각을 감소시키는 데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 미술치료 프로그램은 자살생각 관심군 청소년들의 우울을 감소시키는데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 미술치료 프로그램이 자살생각 관심군 청소년들의 자존감을 증가시키는 데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 4주 후 추후 검사에서 프로그램의 효과가 지속되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과에 기초하여, 청소년의 자살 생각에 대한 개입과 향후 연구의 실질적인 함축적 의미를 제안했다.
