The purpose of this study was to examine whether a gratitude training program for preservice dental hygienists affects their gratitude disposition, self-esteem, and happiness. Dental hygiene students were recruited from a college in D and administered a pretest. The 76 selected participants were primarily those who had never written a gratitude journal. Participants were then randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. Three participants failed to complete the program, leaving 73 subjects in the final analysis. Data were analyzed using the ${\chi}^2$ test, independent sample t-test, and analysis of covariance. The mean gratitude disposition score improved from $31.11{\pm}5.55$ in the pretest to $34.41{\pm}4.38$ in the posttest in the experimental group and from $31.44{\pm}4.41$ to $32.06{\pm}4.63$ in the control group. The mean self-esteem score improved from $31.22{\pm}4.03$ to $33.16{\pm}3.44$ in the experimental group and from $30.53{\pm}4.42$ to $30.97{\pm}3.80$ in the control group. The mean happiness score improved from $19.54{\pm}2.64$ to $21.78{\pm}2.43$ in the experimental group and from $19.64{\pm}3.32$ to $20.08{\pm}2.91$ in the control group. All of the participants improved their gratitude disposition, self-esteem, and happiness scores while participating in the gratitude training program, and it is expected that if such positive emotions can be sustained, they will naturally acquire the basic requirements of dental hygienists and build a better vocational consciousness and a higher sense of duty, as well as have a further positive effect on the quality of dental medical service. Further studies should be conducted to propose a concrete plan to expand and operate this gratitude training program more effectively.

본 연구는 정신간호사의 공감능력, 감사성향 및 직무만족의 정도를 파악하고, 공감능력과 감사성향이 직무만족에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 K도, G도, J도 및 C도에 위치한 8개의 정신전문병원에서 근무중인 정신간호사 196명이었으며, 자료수집은 2016년 10월 8일부터 10월 20일까지 수행되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 22.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Pearson correlation coefficients 및 hierarchial multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 연구대상자의 공감능력은 평균 $3.5{\pm}0.28$점, 감사성향은 $4.0{\pm}0.59$점, 직무만족은 $3.3{\pm}0.34$점이었으며, 공감능력과 감사성향은 직무만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 예측요인으로 설명력은 18.5%로 나타났다. 향후에는 지역사회 정신보건기관의 정신간호사들을 대상으로 하는 연구 수행을 제언하며, 본 연구결과는 정신간호사의 직무만족도 증진의 영향 요인인 공감능력과 감사성향을 향상시킬 수 있는 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
