감상을 중심으로 한 음악중재가 말기 암환자의 불안감소에 미치는 영향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research aims to find out how religious music affects those who are suffering from terminal cancer in terms of anxiety reduction, which was sensed among patients listening to religious music.
The study was conducted among twenty-six patients who had been diagnosed as having terminal cancer, out of whom fourteen patients (Experiment Group) listened to music and the other twelve patients (Control Group) did not. This study, which lasted for two months from March 10th to May 10th 2002, collected data through individual talks and tests and then analyzed the results of the patients.
This research sampled terminal cancer patients, and measured general characteristic and Spielbergers State-Trate anxiety through talks with the Experiment Group and the Control Group. After the talks, the Experiment Group listened to religious music but the Control Group did not have any treatment, and then both groups received the instability measurement test.
The research used the following songs: a collection of gospel songs produced by the Hospice Institutes, seven hymns that are well known through the data of song titles preferably written by patients under Hospice Care, and three gospel songs chosen by the researcher.
This study suggests that the Experiment Group and the Control Group showed homogeneous general characteristics, not having any difference in State-Trate anxiety between the groups. It is also proved that the Experiment Group who had listened to music had a lower degree of state anxiety than the Control Group who had not.
As a result of positively contributing to reducing anxiety of terminal cancer patients, religious music listening can be regarded as an effective intermediation method for decreasing the anxiety that terminal cancer patients have.

본 연구의 목적은 종교적인 음악감상이 말기 암환자에게 지각된 불안감소에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 알아보기 위한 것이었다.
연구의 대상은 말기암으로 진단받아 호스피스 케어를 받고 있는환자들로서 음악감상을 시행한 실험군 14명과 시행하지 않은 통제군 12명, 총 26명이었다.
연구의 기간은 2002년 3월 10일부터 5월 10일까지, 개별 면담과 실험을 통해 자료를 수집한 총 26명의 결과를 분석하였다.
연구자는 대상의 일반적인 특성과 Spielberger의 기질, 상태불안을 측정한 후 실험군에게는 종교음악을 감상하도록 하였고 통제군에게는 아무런 처치를 하지 않았으며, 음악감상을 마친 후 두 군 모두에게 상태불안 검사를 반복 실시하였다.
연구에 사용한 음악은 호스피스시설에서 자체 제작한 복음성가집과 호스피스 간호를 받는 대상자들이 선호하는 곡명을 자필로 적어 논 자료를 통해 잘 알려진 찬송가 7곡과 복음성가 3곡을 연구자가 선정한 것이었다.
연구의 결과는 종교적인 음악을 감상한 실험군이 통제군보다 상태불안에서 유의한 감소를 보인 것으로 나타났다.
