  • Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of a 1-night, 2-day mental health healing center program on the physical stress, autonomic nervous system health, brain activity levels, brain stress, concentration levels, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores of dementia patients and their caregivers. Methods: Forty-eight dementia patients (average age 80 years, 14 males and 34 females) and 48 caregivers (average age 65.23 years, 14 males and 34 females) participated in the program. Pre- and post-assessments were conducted to measure the variables. Results: Dementia patients experienced reduced physical stress, increased brain activity levels, decreased brain stress, improved concentration levels, and a significant decrease in PHQ-9 scores (p<0.05). However, there was a tendency for a decline in autonomic nervous system health among dementia patients. A significant decrease in physical stress was seen in caregivers, but no other significant differences were observed. Conclusions: While the 1-night, 2-day mental health healing center program did not produce significant changes in the caregivers of dementia patients, it exhibited overall positive effects in dementia patients. Consequently, mental healing programs should be utilized effectively for dementia patients. Furthermore, investigating the significance of ongoing programs for the mental well-being of dementia caregivers is imperative, mirroring the attention given to dementia patient care.

  • In the field of mental health care, long-term healing programs have gained widespread recognition for their effectiveness in promoting well-being. However, the efficacy of shorter-term interventions, such as 1-night 2-day programs, remains relatively understudied. The primary objective of this initiative is twofold: firstly, to enhance the overall well-being and resilience of participants, and secondly, to investigate the program's potential to ameliorate specific mental health indicators. These indicators include physical stress levels, autonomic nervous system health, brain activity, brain stress, and concentration. A 1-night 2-day mental health healing program was implemented for 560 civil servants from Jeollanam-do (mean age 47.87 yrs). The focus was on measuring changes through baseline assessments before participation and post-program assessments upon completion. Measurements included physical stress index, autonomic nervous system health, brain activity level, brain stress, and brain concentration. There was a significant decrease in physical stress, as well as a significant decrease in autonomic nervous system health (p<0.05). Although there was no significant difference in brain activity level, there was a tendency for brain activity level to stabilize in the high-frequency range. Additionally, a significant decrease in stress levels and an improvement in concentration were observed. Incorporating 1-night 2-day relaxation programs into our daily lives offers a holistic approach to caring for both our physical and mental health, providing essential moments of rejuvenation and self-care that contribute to overall well-being and fulfillment.

  • 본 연구에서는 자연치유와 전인적 의학으로서의 단식요법에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다. 연구방법으로는 종교사상에서 나타난 단식의 역사와 의의를 찾아 문헌적으로 고찰하였으며, 단식이 심신치유에 적용된 사례를 연구, 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 단식은 종교사상에서 정신적인 중대한 역할을 함으로 단식행위가 인간의 삶에서 정신적으로 미치는 영향력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 단식은 인간의 심신을 치유하는 수단으로서 오랜 과거로부터 오늘날에까지 이어져 내려오는 자연치유적 의료행위로 중대한 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 단식요법은 자연치유적 방법에 의한 전인적 의학으로서 중요한 가치를 가진다는 점을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 시사점은 단식요법을 통해 현대사회에 각종 질병의 요인으로 작용하는 스트레스성 질병과 생활습관성 만성질환에 대하여 전인적 의학 차원에서의 효율적 치유의 방향과 근거를 제시하는데 기초 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

  • 본 연구는 변화된 건강패러다임 속에서 치유환경에 대한 새로운 접근 방법을 모색하고, 특히 정신건강증진이라는 키워드 속에서 좀 더 확장된 치유환경의 특성을 개념화하고자 시작된 탐색연구로서 연구의 목적은 크게 두 가지로 나뉜다. 첫째는, 변화된 패러다임 속에서 건강과 정신건강 그리고 치유환경의 개념적 정의를 내리는 것이며 둘째는, 정신건강증진을 위한 물리적 환경의 치유적 특성을 도출하고 지표화하는 것이다. 이러한 목적 안에서 정신건강증진을 위한 치유환경의 개념을 지원할 수 있는 이론적 탐색을 시행하였는데, 건축학과 심리학 그리고 정신의학은 물론 인간과 환경간의 관계를 다루고 있는 건축철학 및 환경심리학 등 그 범위를 확대하여 관련 이론을 고찰, 융합적 시각으로서의 새로운 개념정립을 시도하였다. 본 연구에서 선행연구 및 이론적 탐색연구를 진행한 결과 범주화한 치유환경의 특성은, 1) 신체적 보호감 증진 2) 심리적 안정감 증진 3) 사회적 교류감 증진 4) 개인적 자존감 증진 등이다. 정신건강증진의 치유환경에 대한 개념적 확립은 실제적인 치유환경의 구현에 있어서 매우 중요한 작업이며, 이를 토대로 보다 구체적인 설계지표 및 가이드라인 개발 및 응용 연구가 진행될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 호흡의 치유적 기제가 현대인의 심신의 긴장과 스트레스를 완화시키고 삶의 질 향상을 기대할 수 있는 건강지향적 여가로서의 의미와 가치를 문헌고찰해 보고자하였다. 이을 통해 얻어진 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 오늘날 여가는 다양한 분야에서 양적 증가를 나타내고 있는데 현대인들의 건강한 삶의 가치에 대한 높은 관심은 건강지향적 여가활동의 기회제공을 확대하고 건강관리 실천의 실효성을 뒷받침하게 될 것이다. 둘째, 개인이 힐링의 치유 과정을 거쳐 삶에 올바른 가치관을 확립해 나간다면 사회적 관계에서 요구되는 '전인적 힐링' 패러다임의 방향을 구체적으로 실현해 나아갈 수 있을 것이다. 셋째, '힐링(Healing) 호흡'의 인지적 호흡 활동의 유도는 몸과 마음의 치유적 효과를 더욱 높이고자 하는 건강 증진의 목적을 둔 여가활동이라 할 수 있다. 이상의 결과로 힐링(Healing) 호흡법을 통한 현대인들의 건강지향적 여가활동의 실천은 인간 생명의 본질적 가치를 높이고 전인적(全人的) 사회화의 의미를 구현할 수 있는 역할을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
