Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore what program worker' experiences in suicide prevention gatekeeper program using tong/ri Chiefs. Participants were three workers who have been in charge of this program for more than 2 years. A qualitative research method, narrative study, was used. As a result of the study, they started the program with burden and fear. They felt a heavy burden of the internal and external the organization and lack of themselves. However, they were able to continue their work despite these difficulties because of the support of their families, colleagues and tong/ri Chiefs. And, they suggested ways to revitalize suicide prevention gatekeeper program using tong/ri Chiefs.

본 연구는 이·통장을 활용한 자살예방 게이트키퍼 사업 담당자의 경험에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 참여자는 2년 이상 자살예방 게이트키퍼 사업을 통해 이·통장과 상호작용을 하고 있는 사업담당자 3명으로 하였으며, 각자의 경험을 심층적으로 이해하기 위하여 질적 연구방법인 내러티브 연구를 활용하였다. 연구결과, 이들은 자살예방사업 담당자로서 부담과 두려움을 가지고 사업을 시작하였다. 사업 진행과정에서는 소속기관 내외부적으로 느끼는 부담과 스스로의 부족함이라는 무거운 짐을 느끼고 있었다. 하지만 이러한 어려움 속에서도 업무를 유지할 수 있었던 것은 가족과 동료, 참여 이·통장들의 지지가 있었기 때문이었다. 아울러 연구 참여자들은 본 사업이 활성화될 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.
