본 연구는 EMDR 통합 집단치료가 간호대학원생의 우울, 불안, 외상 후 스트레스, 및 자아존중감에 미치는 효과를 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 본 연구는 유사 실험연구로서 비동등성 대조군 전후설계를 이용하였다. 연구대상자는 C 대학 석, 박사과정에 재학 중인 간호대학원생 50명(실험군=22명, 대조군=28명)이며, 실험군은 총 8주간 8회기의 EMDR-IGTP에 참여하였고, 대조군은 연구종료 후 희망자에 한하여 EMDR-IGTP을 제공하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 서술통계, ${\chi}^2-test$와 Independant t-test로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 8주 후 EMDR-IGTP에 참여한 실험군은 대조군에 비해 불안(t=-2.50, p<.05)과 자아존중감(t=20.78, p<.01)에서 통계적으로 유의하게 차이가 나타났다. 따라서 EMDR-IGTP은 간호대학원생의 불안 감소와 자아존중감 증진에 긍정적인 효과가 있음이 입증되었다. 추후 연구대상자를 확대하여 프로그램의 효과의 기전을 파악하는 후속 연구를 제언하였다.

The mechanism of psychotherapy is explained by the recent developments in neuroscience and neuroimaging. The purpose of this study is to understand the nature of psychotherapy and to discuss the future of psychotherapy improvement with the help of advances of the neurobiological findings in psychotherapy. For this study, we investigated a wide range of materials. We searched for various researches on psychotherapy, brain, and neurobiology. In addition to the conventional psychodynamic psychotherapy, we investigated research findings on cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Moreover, based on the actual experiences of treating patients, we speculated the neurobiological mechanisms of the process and results of psychotherapy. With the development of neuroscience, we are now able to understand the personal consciousness, unconsciousness and developmental process. Also subdividing the disease is made possible. Personalized treatment has become available, and we are able to predict the prognosis of patients. Our memories are composed by implicit memory and explicit memory. By psychotherapy, we can consciously remember explicit memory, and it becomes easier to explore implicit memory through free association. Through psychotherapy, we will also be able to learn the effect of acquired environment and experience. Psychotherapy is able to correct human behaviors by modifying the memories. Through the regulation of emotions, it becomes possible to modify the memories and correct the behaviors. In this process, doctor-patient relationship is the main factor which cause positive treatment effects. Furthermore imagination therapy or unconscious, non-verbal stimuli could bring about positive treatment effects. Now psychotherapy could be explained and studied by neuroscientific researches. In this sense, we could provide the direction of future advances in neuroscience by the neurobiological understanding of psychotherapy.
