온라인 마음챙김에 근거한 스트레스 완화 프로그램이 일반 성인의 마음챙김, 플로리시 및 우울·불안·스트레스에 미치는 예비적 효과 탐색

초록

This study explored the preliminary effects of an online Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on mindfulness, flourishing, and depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms among adults. A nonequivalent control group pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design was used. Participants were 40 adults (experimental group n=21; waitlist control group n=19) allocated according to their selected program schedule. The intervention consisted of eight weekly 150-minute live videoconference sessions over 8 weeks and one 7.5-hour all-day practice. Outcomes were assessed using the Korean versions of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire–Short Form, PERMA-Profiler, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales–21, respectively. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusting for the pretest score, religion, and previous meditation experience was performed for mindfulness and flourishing, and rank-transformed ANCOVA was used for depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms because the assumption of homogeneous regression slopes was not met. After adjustment, the experimental group showed higher posttest mindfulness and lower adjusted mean ranks of depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms than the control group; these differences remained significant after Holm's correction and in sensitivity analyses. No significant group difference was observed for flourishing. These findings suggest that a structured, synchronous online MBSR program may be associated with higher mindfulness and lower psychological distress in adults. Given the nonrandomized design, small sample, the findings should be interpreted and generalized with caution.
