초록

목적: 이 연구의 목적은 정신보건사회복지사들의 영성과 스트레스의 수준을 파악하고, 이들 사이의 관계를 조사하여, 호스피스 완화의료 및 정신보건영역 등 휴먼서비스 전문가의 영성증진과 효율적인 스트레스 관리방안을 모색하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 데 있다. 방법: 2011년 11월 1일부터 11월 30일까지 국내 정신보건분야에 근무하는 정신보건사회복지사 154명을 대상으로, 한국형 영성척도(Spirituality Scale)와 심리사회적스트레스 척도(Psychosocial Well-being Index Short Form, PWI-SF)를 사용하여 측정하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS WIN 17.0 프로그램을 사용하여 처리하였다. 결과: 대상자의 영성수준은 평균 3.63점, 심리사회적 스트레스 수준은 18.78점이었고, 영성수준은 연령, 교육, 종교유무, 결혼상태에 따라, 심리사회적 스트레스는 결혼상태에 따라 각 집단간 유의한 차이를 보였다. 영성과 심리사회적 스트레스는 부적 상관관계(r=-0.548, P<0.001)가 있었고, 영성의 하위영역인 삶의 의미와 목적, 자비심, 내적 자원, 자각, 연결성, 초월성 모두 심리사회적 스트레스와 각각 부적 상관관계(P<0.01)를 보였다. 심리사회적 스트레스 수준은 정상군에서 영성수준이 가장 높았고, 고위험군에서 가장 낮았으며, 영성은 심리사회적 스트레스의 30.0%를 설명해 주었다. 결론: 본 연구의 결과는 영성과 심리사회적 스트레스는 부적 상관관계가 있으며, 영성의 수준이 높을수록 심리사회적 스트레스가 낮음을 시사해 주었다. 심리사회적 스트레스를 감소시키고, 영성의 수준을 증진시킬 수 있는 영적 감수성 지향의 개입전략이 요구된다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze the association between spirituality and stress of mental health social workers, which could be used in development of a program to help them manage stress and offer spiritual support. Methods: Participants were 154 mental health social workers in Korea. Data were collected from November 1 through November 30, 2011. The study employed the Korean version of the Spirituality Scale and Psychosocial Well-being Index-Short Form (PWI-SF). Data were analyzed using SPSS/Windows 17.0. Results: The mean score for the Spirituality Scale was 3.63 and for PWI-SF 18.78. Spirituality scores showed a significant difference among participants by age, education, religion and marital status. Psychosocial stress scores also significantly differed by marital status. Spirituality scores were negatively correlated with psychosocial stress scores (r=-0.548, P<0.001). Conclusion: In this study, a significant negative association was found between spirituality and stress in mental health social workers in Korea. A follow-up study with a larger sample of participants is needed to confirm these findings.
