Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to test the reliability of the Korean version of self-compassion scale (K-SCS). Methods: The total of 484 participants were included in this study. Reliability studies were conducted and internal consistency were examined. Results: The internal consistency of the K-SCS was 0.76, and test-retest reliability was 0.53. Conclusion: The K-SCS appeared to be a reliable instrument for assessing self-compassion in Korean population. If supplements further studies of the validity, this scale may be applicable in clinical trials, research, clinical practice.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 주로 의과 대학생을 대상으로 한국어판 자기-자애 척도의 신뢰도를 조사해 보고자 하였다. 방 법: 본 연구에서는 의과 대학생 및 일반인 484명을 대상으로 자기-자애 척도를 평가 하였으며 자기-자애 척도의 6개 요인에 따른 남녀별 측정치를 구하고, 남녀 간의 차이를 독립 표본 t-검사를 통해서 비교하였다. 또한, 내적 일치도와 검사-재검사 신뢰도(n=30)를 측정하였다. 결 과: 한국판 자기-자애 척도의 내적 일치도(Cron-bach's alpha)는 0.76 이었으며 각 6개 요인에 대한 전체 점수의 검사-재검사 점수 간의 Pearson 상관계수는 0.53이었다. 각 요인에 대한 반분 신뢰도 분석에서 자기-자애 척도 전체 26문항에 대한 Guttman split-half reliability는 0.89으로 측정 되었으며 6가지 각 요인에 대한 신뢰도는 0.60에서 0.85로 측정되었다. 결 론: 본 연구에서 한국어판 자기-자애 척도는 만족할 만한 수준의 신뢰도를 보여 주었다. 타당도에 대한 추가적인 연구가 보완될 경우 한국어판 자기-자애 척도를 다양한 임상 영역 및 연구에서 유용한 도구로 이용할 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.
