Abstract

This Quasi-experimental study was started under the assumption that the stress of students who participated in Buddhism and Mind Healing Lectures based on an understanding of the scriptures will be relieved through the lectures, thereby enhancing their psychological stability, thinking ability, and enhancing understanding. Stress can be confirmed through a self-report test, but in this study, quantitative EEG was measured to evaluate the stress level and secure objectivity. To this end, the difference between the 1st week as pre and 15th week as post quantitative EEG was verified for the experimental group taking the Buddhism and Mind Healing Lecture held from March to June 2019 at S University in G-gu, Seoul, and the control group who did not. The Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon code ranking test were used as analysis methods because the number of subjects was 14. As a result, there was a significant difference in the beta wave (F7, T3, 4, T5) and the high beta wave (F7, F8, T3, T4) in the experimental group. The coherence was also improved, while there was no significant difference in the control group. Buddhism and Mind Healing Lectures improved stress.

본 연구는 경전 이해를 기반으로 하는 불교와 마음치유 강의에 참여한 수강생들의 스트레스가 강의를 통해 완화됨으로써 심리적 안정과 사고능력을 증진시키고, 이해력을 높이는 효과를 확인하고자 실시한 유사 실험연구이다. 스트레스는 일반적으로 자기보고식 검사를 통해 확인할 수 있으나, 본 연구에서는 보다 객관성을 확보하기 위하여 정량뇌파를 측정하여 스트레스 수준을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 서울특별시 G구에 소재한 S대학교에서 2019년 3월부터 6월까지 진행된 불교와 마음치유 강의를 수강하는 실험군과 수강하지 않는 대조군을 7명씩 표집하여 1주 차 수업 전의 사전과 15주차 수업 후의 사후 정량뇌파 차이를 Mann Whitney U검정과 Wilcoxon 부호순위검정을 통하여 검증하였다. 그 결과, 불교와 마음치유 수업을 수강하는 실험군은 대조군에 비해 Beta파, High Beta파가 높게 나타나 대조군보다 스트레스 혹은 긴장 상태에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 실험군은 Beta파의 F7, T3, T4, T5와 High Beta파의 F7, F8, T3, T4에서 유의한 차이가 발생하였고, Coherence도 좌반구 Fp1-T5, F3-P3, F3-O1, C3-O1, P3-F7, O1-F7에서 개선된 반면, 대조군은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 따라서 불교와 마음치유 강의는 스트레스 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
