목회자 사모의 소진과 음악활용에 관한 연구

Abstract

This research study investigates the utilization of music according to burnout among women who were currently active as the wives of pastors. A questionnaire, with a total of 62 items was created (ten about basic information, 14 about the current utilization of music in daily life, 22 about the perceptions of music utilization related to burnout, and 15 about burnout). Questionnaires were distributed and 194 were returned. After four were excluded for containing insufficient responses, 190 were analyzed. The findings are as follows: first, wives of pastors usually utilized church music such as CCM and hymns for self-consolation in the church; second, they perceived that music appreciation, songs, and instrument playing all had positive effects on their self-care to manage their burnout; finally, the study analyzed group differences in music utilization according to the degree of burnout and found no overall differences in music appreciation, but there were significant differences in the mood of singing and instrument playing. When selecting songs for burnout management, the group of high burnout perceived the importance of musical elements and themes more than the group of low burnout. The present study provides basic data to develop a music program for the management of burnout among the wives of pastors by examining their burnout and music utilization.
