Abstract

Purpose: This study was done to identify the effects of the Positive Peer Relationship Training Program on self-esteem, bullying, and depression. Methods: The research design was a quasi-experimental research with a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized pre-posttest. The recruited participants were forty-four 6th graders at an elementary school in G city. The research was carried out from September 10 to November 19, 2012. To test the effects of the Positive Peer Relationship Training Program, the participants were divided into two groups, an experimental group (23) and a control group (21). The Positive Peer Relationship Training Program was provided to the experiment group for 45 minutes/session twice a week, for 4 weeks. Data were analyzed using Fisher's exact probability test, $x^2$-test and t-test with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results: After attending the Positive Peer Relationship Training Program, no significant differences were found in self-esteem scores but significant differences were found in bullying and depression scores between the experimental group and the control group (t=1.27, p=.212, t=-2.10, p=.042; t=-2.37, p=.023). Conclusion: The results indicate that the Positive Peer Relationship Training Program is an effective nursing intervention for decreasing bullying and depression among Children in Early Adolescence.

목적 또래관계증진훈련 프로그램을 적용하여 청소년 초기 아동의 자존감, 집단따돌림 및 우울에 미치는 중재효과를 확인하고자 한다. 방법 총 8회기를 한 장소에서 일정한 시간에 연구자와 2명의 연구보조원이 함께 프로그램을 실시하였다. 대조군에게 4주간의 간격으로 자존감, 집단따돌림 및 우울 검사 설문지를 이용하여 사전사후자료를 수집한 후 프로그램을 실시하는 날 실험군의 사전검사를 실시하였고, 프로그램을 종결하는 날 실험군의 사후검사를 실시하였다. 그리고 SPSS/WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 Fisher's exact probability test, $x^2$ test 및 t-test로 분석하였다. 결과 또래관계증진훈련 프로그램에 참여한 후 실험군과 대조군 간에 자존감은 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 집단따돌림과 우울은 유의한 차이가 있어, 본 프로그램이 청소년 초기 아동의 집단따돌림 및 우울을 감소시킴으로써 내적 적응력 및 대인관계를 향상시키는데 효과적인 중재임을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론 또래관계증진훈련 프로그램의 지속적인 중재효과 및 효율적인 재교육시기를 확인하기 위해서 일정한 시간이 지난 후 추후조사를 해볼 필요가 있으며, 학교 및 지역사회 내에서 학생들의 내적 적응력과 대인관계 향상을 위한 중재전략 수립 시 또래관계증진 훈련프로그램을 활용한다면 본 연구의 결과가 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
