영화치료가 조현병 환자의 정서인식과 표현 및 공감능력에 미치는 효과 (Effects of Cinema Therapy on Emotional Recognition, Emotional Expression, and Empathy for Chronic Schizophrenia Patients)

본 연구에서는 영화치료가 만성 조현병 환자의 정서인식과 표현 및 공감능력에 미치는 효과를 살펴보았다. 34명의 조현병 환자 중 치료집단 17명이 영화치료에 비교집단 17명은 운동 및 요리요법에 참여하였다. 영화치료는 8회기로 1주에 1회씩 진행되었다. 환자들은 영화치료 전과 후에 특질기분척도, Berkeley 표현질문지, 수정된 공감지표, 관계변화척도를 실시하였다. 또한, 정신보건 전문요원(정신보건사회복��사)이 정서행동척도로 정서인식과 표현, 타인에 대한 정서인식을 평정하였다. 그 결과, 영화치료에 참여한 환자들은 운동과 요리요법에 참여한 환자들 보다 정서인식과 표현 및 공감능력이 향상되었다. 논의에서는 연구의 제한점과 추후 방향을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cinema therapy on emotional recognition, emotional expression, and empathy for chronic schizophrenia patients. A Total of 34 schizophrenia patients at a day hospital participated in this program. Half of the patients were grouped into the cinema therapy group, whereas the other half were for the comparison group; each group took a physical and cook therapy. All patients took a total of 8-sessions for a 8-week period. The patients were assessed before and after cinema therapy with the following scales. The scales included the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), the Berkeley Expressivity Questionnaire (BEQ), the Index of Empathy for Children and Adolescents (IECA), and the Relationship Change Scale (RCS). Also, clinical social workers rated the recognition and expression of self-emotion, emotion recognition towards others, and interpersonal relationship with the Emotional Behavior Scale (EBS). The results are as follows. The patients in the cinema therapy group significantly improved their score in emotional recognition, expression, and empathy scales compared to the comparison group. Finally, the clinical implications and limitations of this study and direction of future research have been discussed.
