비대면 상담서비스 운영 변화와 과제: 국내 사이트를 중심으로

Objectives This study aims to identify operational changes and challenges in the development of non-face- to-face counseling by comparing the past and present usage of contactless counseling in the context of the rapid increase in the use of contactless counseling due to the spread of COVID-19 and the development of information technology. Methods For comparison with the past, we used the survey methodology from a previous study (Kim, Kye-hyun, & Lim, Eun-mi, 2000) and analyzed 113 counseling sites, including five items (‘service target’, ‘service operator’, ‘counseling method’, ‘counseling content’, and ‘usage fee’) and two additional items (‘counselor’s expertise’ and ‘guidance on using non-face-to-face counseling’) as survey indicators. Results First, we found that counseling methods, which were limited in the early days of non-face-to-face coun-seling, are now being diversified through the development of technology and the expansion of media use. Second, we observed a new way of connecting counselors by establishing platforms for non-face-to-face counseling at large portal sites and private counseling organizations, not limited to the free services provided by public in-stitutions in the past. Third, although guidance for non-face-to-face counseling is currently provided, there is a lack of information on the expertise and confidentiality of counselors. Conclusions This study aims to identify the current status of non-face-to-face counseling in Korea by comparing the past and present operation status of non-face-to-face counseling in Korea, and to identify development tasks. It is expected to provide various implications on the need to strengthen the awareness, professionalism, and eth-ical considerations of non-face-to-face counseling.

Understanding the impact of expertise on compassion fatigue in counseling via core self-evaluation and resilience.

Compassion fatigue is a prevalent challenge experienced by helping professionals, influencing both their personal well-being and the quality of services they deliver. While the beneficial impact of expertise in counseling on alleviating compassion fatigue has been established, limited research has investigated this association specifically among mental health counselors within the cultural context of China. Additionally, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study examined whether expertise in counseling can reduce compassion fatigue and whether this relationship is mediated by core self-evaluation and resilience. A cross-sectional survey of 109 mental health counselors revealed that expertise negatively predicted compassion fatigue both directly and indirectly through enhanced core self-evaluation. However, resilience only exhibited a negative correlation with compassion fatigue and a positive correlation with core self-evaluation, its mediating effect between expertise and compassion fatigue was not supported. This study highlights the crucial role of expertise and core self-evaluation as mediating factors in alleviating compassion fatigue.

상담자의 노인 상담에 관한 인식 연구

Although the number of older adults in need of psychological help is increasing due to the increase in their population in Korea, there is a shortage of counselors qualified to provide the appropriate services for them. In order to activate gerontological counseling, there is a great need to explore the counselors’ perception of counseling for the older adults. Accordingly, 75 counselors with at least two years of counseling experience after graduating from a master’s program were asked through an open-ended questionnaire about their perceptions of the characteristics, counseling process, and counseling outcomes for the older clients. The counselors responded to the questionnaire online and the response data were analyzed using Consensual Qualitative Research Analysis. There were a total of 647 statements collected, they were classified into 61 subcategories, and the subcategories were integrated into 4 themes and 17 categories. The first theme was named ‘the characteristics of the older clients,’ and the counselors generally perceived them negatively such as stubborn people. The second theme was named ‘their need for counseling,’ and the counselors thought that the older clients would consider the counselor as a sympathizer to their problem but not a counseling expert. The third theme was named ‘the gerontological counseling process’, and the counselors recognized that the personality traits of older adults such as resistance to change and the age difference with the clients would make the counseling process difficult. The fourth theme was named ‘the gerontological counseling outcome,’ and the counselors recognized that the mental health problems of the older clients would be resolved to some extent even if the counseling outcomes for them were not great. The findings of this study confirmed that general counselors have negative stereotypes about older clients or aging. The authors raised the need for training to correct this negative perception of counselors and strengthen counseling competencies for the older adults in a super-aged society where gerontological counseling becomes more and more important in the last part of this paper.

Compassion and equity-focused clinical genomics training for health professional learners.

There remains an urgent need for expanded genomics training in undergraduate medical education, especially as genetic and genomic assessments become increasingly important in primary care and routine clinical practice across specialties. Physician trainees continue to report feeling poorly prepared to provide effective consultation or interpretation of genomic test results. Here we report on the development, pilot implementation, and evaluation of an elective offering for pre-clinical medical students called the Sanford Precision Health Scholars Immersive Learning Experience (PHS), which was designed leveraging genetic counseling expertise as one means to address this need. This 9-week course, piloted in Fall 2021 at UC San Diego, afforded students the opportunity to build technical skills and competencies in clinical genomics while identifying, addressing, and engaging with pervasive health disparities in genomics. Interactive exercises focused students' learning on strategies for empathic and compassionate patient interactions while supporting the application of concepts and knowledge to future practice. Upon completion of the course, participants reported increases in confidence related to skills required for clinical genomics practice. Drawing on learnings from this pilot implementation, recommendations for refining the program include deepening pedagogical engagement with ethical issues, expanding the offering to trainees across health professions, including pharmacy students, and incorporating an optional experiential learning component. Educational offerings, like PHS, that are designed with the input of genetic counseling expertise may ease pressures on the genetic counseling profession by building a more genomic-literate healthcare workforce that can better support efforts to expand access for patients.

Preparations for Marriage in the Jewish and Catholic Traditions

In many churches nowadays, there has been a standardized approach to premarital counseling for couples involving social, pastoral, and psychological perspectives. In contrast, many rabbis and other Jewish officials still concentrate on legal aspects alone. The need for resolving important issues on the verge of wedlock is too often left to secular experts in law, psychology, or counseling. However, in recent years, this lack of formal training for marriage preparation has also been acknowledged by the Jewish clergy in order to incorporate it in the preparatory period before the bond is tied. This case study focuses on Jewish and Roman Catholic conceptions of marriage, past and present. We intend to do a comparative analysis of the prerequisites of religious marriage based on the assumption that both Judaism and the Roman Catholic Church have a distinct legal framework to assess marriage preparation.
