팔정도에 기초한 마음챙김 프로그램이 자기돌봄에 미치는 효과: 돌봄종사자를 중심으로

Abstract

This study is aimed to verify that mindfulness programs have an effect on their own self-care as these programs based on the Eightfold Path are carried out by care workers. After considering two groups consisting of the experimental group with 14 care workers in K city of Gyeongsangbuk-do and the controlled group with 14 members of the local club in the same area, the homogeneity is verified and the effectiveness is investigated based on the pretest and posttest designs between two groups. With the measurement of levels in mindfulness awareness, self-esteem and their job stress of the experimental group, the Eightfold Path programs proved to be effective in easing the burn-out of care workers. These care workers can achieve the self-care through the mindfulness training on the basis of the Eightfold Path, and prevent their own burn-out by engaging in constant self-reflection and implement the repetitive mindfulness training. And the follow-up study related to the self-care in implementing the mindfulness training of care workers by various age categories and job groups is required.
