Development and Effectiveness Verification of CBT and ACT Group Counseling Programs for Maladjusted Soldiers

This study was conducted to develop a group counseling program to solve the problem of maladjustment of military personnel and to verify the effectiveness of the program. The 12 session CBT and ACT program for military soldiers experiencing emotional and behavioral problems was developed and the effectiveness was verified by conducting a program once a week for soldiers in the army units based in South Chungcheong Province. Adult Self Report scale(ASR) was implemented for pre-post test and analysis, and descriptive statistical analysis, cross-analysis, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test were performed to analyze the results. The results indicated are as follows: First, the preliminary homogeneity test between groups showed that the two groups had homogeneous demographic characteristics and the characteristics of the variables. Second, as a result of the pre-post test verification, both CBT and ACT groups showed significant changes in problem behavior totals, internalizations, and externalizations. Third, there was no difference between the pre-post-examination of the CBT group and the ACT group. This study is meaningful in that it was involved in the maladjustment problem within the military unit, and compared the effectiveness between the two theories, and proposed the study of control groups and further studies on more diverse and diverse subjects that were not implemented under the circumstances of the unit.

본연구는국군장병들의부적응문제해결을위한집단상담프로그램을개발하고프로그램의효과를검증하기위해진행하였다. 정서및 행동문제를 경험하는 군 장병을 위한 12회기 CBT 및 ACT 프로그램을 개발하고 충남권 소재 육군 부대 장병을 대상으로 CBT, ACT 각 2집단씩 주 1회 프로그램을 실시해 효과성을 검증하였다. 결과분석을 위해 사전-사후 성인용 행동평가 척도(ASR)을 시행하였고, 기술통계분석, 교차분석, 대응t검증, 독립t검증을 실시하여 분석하였다. 나타난 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 집단 간 사전 동질검사 결과 두 집단은 인구통계학적특성과 주요변인의 특성이 동질한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사전-사후 비교검증 결과 CBT집단과 ACT집단 모두 문제행동총점 및 내재화, 외현화의 변화가 유의하였다. 셋째, CBT집단과 ACT집단의 사전-사후 검사의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구는 군부대 내 부적응 문제에 개입한 점, 두 이론간의 효과성을 비교했다는 점에서 의미가 있으며, 향후 연구를 위한 방법론 및 연구 대상 확대를 제안하였다.
