본 연구는 적극적 부모역할(Active Parenting Now) 프로그램을 적용한 집단미술치료가 보육교사의 직무스트레스와 자기효능감에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상은 J시의 보육교사 18명으로 9명에게는 적극적 부모역할 Now(Active Parenting Now) 프로그램을 적용한 집단 미술치료프로그램을 실시하였고, 9명에게는 집단미술치료프로그램을 실시하였다. 각 프로그램은 한회기 당 120분씩 주 1회, 총 11회기를 실시하여 집단 간의 효과를 비교하기 위하여 사전, 사후검사를 실시하고 SPSSWIN Program(version 17.0)을 이용하여 공변량분석(ANCOVA)을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, AP를 적용한 집단미술치료 집단이 집단미술치료집단에 비해 직무스트레스가 감소된 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, AP를 적용한 집단미술치료 집단이 집단미술치료집단에 비해 자기효능감이 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 AP를 적용한 집단미술치료가 AP교육을 통해 인지적인 부분과 미술치료를 통해 정서적인 부분을 함께 자극하여 정서적인 부분만을 자극한 집단미술치료보다 직무스트레스 감소와 자기효능감 향상에 효과가 있었음을 보여주고 있다. 그러므로 AP를 적용한 집단미술치료가 유아교육현장에서 교사들의 효율적인 교수와 정신건강을 위해 많은 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.
This study is to inquire into the effect of the group art therapy program with AP(Active Parenting Now) and the general group art therapy program on the self-efficacy and the occupational stress of childcare teachers. The study subject was 18 childcare teachers in J city. For nine of them, the group art therapy with AP was carried out, and for the other nine teachers, the general group therapy was carried out. Each programs were carried out during 11 sessions for 120 minutes a week. To compare the effect of the two programs on the two groups, pretest and post test were carried out. The data materials were analyzed by SPSS(17.0 for Windows), and by which ANCOVA was carried out. The results are as follows. Firstly, it is found out that the self-efficacy of the group by the group art therapy program with AP improves more than that of the group by the general group art therapy. Secondly, it is found out that the occupational stress of the group by the group art therapy program with AP reduces more than that of the group by the general group art therapy. These results mean that the group art therapy program with AP, which approaches both on cognitive part by AP education and on emotional part by art therapy is more effective on the improvement of self-efficacy and the reduction of occupational stress than the general group art therapy, which approaches on emotional part by art therapy. Therefore, the group art therapy with AP is expected to contribute to efficient teachings and mental health of childcare teachers.
