사회복지실습생이 경험하는 스트레스와 대처

Abstract

본 연구의 목적은 보다 효과적인 실습교육체계 개선방안을 모색하기 위해 사회복지실습지도 현황과 학생들의 실습스트레스 및 대처를 파악하고, 실습지도에 따른 스트레스의 차이를 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위해 2012년에 사회복지현장실습을 경험하고 수업을 수강한 서울 및 경기북부 4개 대학교 학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 202개 설문분석 결과, 실습생은 전문지식과 기술 부족, 실습환경, 실습업무부담 영역의 순으로 높은 스트레스를 보고하였고, 스트레스 대처전략에 있어서는 문제해결중심, 사회적지지 추구, 회피중심 전략 순으로 활용하였다. 실습경험에 따른 실습스트레스의 차이에 있어서는 현장체험 유무, 봉사시간, 실습사전교육 참여 유무에 따라, 그리고 슈퍼비전의 정기성과 빈도, 전공 만족도, 실습 및 슈퍼비전 만족도에 따라 차이를 보였다. 이상의 연구결과를 토대로 실습교육체계 개선방안을 제시하였다. The purpose of this study was to examine present condition of social work field education, students' stress/stress coping strategies in their field practicum, and to find out the difference according to the factors related field education. This study carried out a survey targeting 202 students who finished their social work field practicum and took their course work in 2012, from 4 different universities in the northern Gyeonggi province & Seoul. As the result, in the area of stress, the highest rank was the lack of professional knowledge/skills, the second was the environment of field practicum, and the third was the burden of tasks that they had to perform. About the coping strategies, it was found that students utilized 'problem-solving focused' the most, pursuing 'social support' as the second, and 'avoidance' strategies as the least. Factors influencing on differences of stress level depending on field work experiences were whether they had previous field experience, how much time they participated in previous volunteer activities, whether they attended orientation for their field practicum, regularity/frequency of supervision, the satisfaction on their social work/welfare major, and the satisfaction on their field practicum or supervision. Based on the results, suggestions for development in field education system were presented.
