Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of horticultural therapy program based on Reasoner's building self-esteem for juveniles. Fourteen middle school students were recommended by Community education specialist (social worker). Seven experimental group members received a horticultural therapy program and 7 control group members did not during this study performed from April 2009 to July 2009. As the results, the total self-esteem level of the experimental group increased significantly after horticultural therapy (p=$0.046^*$), while control group decreased (p=0.610). In the sub-field of self-esteem, social-peer self-esteem level of the experimental group increased significantly (p=$0.018^*$), while significant difference was not detected for the control group. Therefore horticultural therapy program based on Reasoner's building self-esteem could be utilized as appropriate tools for improvement of self-esteem in juveniles in future clinical studies.

본 연구는 Reasoner's building self-esteem에 근거한 자아존중감 향상 원예치료 프로그램이 청소년의 자아존중감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시되었다. 담당 지역사회교육 전문가(사회복지사)에게 추천 받은 중학생 14명 중 본 프로그램에 참여가 적합한 실험군 7명과 대조군 7명을 대상으로, 2009년 4월부터 2009년 7월까지 이루어졌다. 실험 결과, 실험군은 사후에 자아존중감 중위수가 높아졌고, 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈으나(p=$0.046^*$), 대조군은 사후에 자아존중감 중위수가 낮아졌으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p=0.610). 자아존중감 하위영역별 점수 변화에서 실험군은 사회적 자아존중감에서 통계적으로 유의한 증가를 보였으나(p=$0.018^*$), 대조군은 모든 하위영역 점수에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구결과를 통해 Reasoner's building self-esteem에 근거한 원예치료 프로그램이 청소년의 자아존중감 향상에 적절한 도구로 활용 가능함을 검증했다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의가 있으며, 향후 임상에서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
