숲에서 치유를 경험한 사람들의 심리현상 분석 = A Psychological Phenomena Analysis of People who have experienced Healing in the Forest

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 숲에서 치유를 경험한 사람들의 체험수기 115편을 질적 분석하여, 숲 치유로 나타나는 핵심 심리현상과 치유의 과정을 추적하기 위하여 수행되었다. 숲 치유 과정에서 경험하는 핵심 심리현상은 < 행복감 > < 편안함 > < 깨달음 >의 순이었으며, 숲 치유의 과정은 < 정서적 변화 >를 먼저 경험한 후에 < 인지적 변화 >와 < 행동의 변화 >로 이끌어지는 경향을 나타내었다. 숲에서의 치유단계는 시간의 흐름에 따라 < 자극단계 > < 수용단계 > < 정화단계 > < 통찰단계 > < 채움단계 > < 변화단계 >의 6단계 과정을 거쳤으며, 이러한 과정은 < 자연과의 교감 > < 자신과의 교감 > < 세상과의 소통 >이라는 기제를 통해 치유가 진전되는 것으로 확인되었다. 기존의 연구는 주로 집단프로그램에 의한 비교 연구와 체험후의 일시적 상태의 측정으로 결과를 도출하여 효과의 지속성이나 심리적 변화 과정을 검증할 수 없는 한계가 존재하였다. 본 연구는 기존의 양적 연구의 한계를 보완하여 개인적 심리현상과 치유과정 등을 통합적으로 이해할 수 있는방법을 제안하였으며, 연구 결과가 산림치유의 메커니즘을 밝히고 산림치유 프로그램 개발이나 실행에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
