운동선수 대인외상과 외상 후 성장 요인 심층 탐색

초록

The purpose of this study is to explore in depth the factors of interpersonal trauma and post-traumatic growth in athletes. Methods: Study participants were 10 active and retired athletes aged 19 years or older. Athletes suitable for the study purposes were selected through snowball sampling. The Interpersonal Trauma Experience Checklist, DSM-5 Posttraumatic Disorder Checklist (PCL-5), Posttraumatic Cognition (PTCI), and Korean version of the Posttraumatic Growth (K-PTGI) test were measured once and in-depth interviews were conducted twice. The measured tests were expressed as individual factor scores and total scores, and the in-depth interview results were classified and presented through three stages of content analysis. Results: First, all participants were confirmed to have experienced interpersonal traumatic events. They are also having difficulty adapting due to discrimination and verbal and physical violence that have persisted until relatively recently. Seven of them were currently experiencing simple PTSD (memories, dreams, physical reactions, hyperarousal) and complex PTSD (difficulty managing anger, loss of self-identity, chronic guilt and shame). Some participants were identified as having warning levels of PTSD. Second, in post-traumatic congntive, negative perception of the world appeared most prominently. The primary emotions were helplessness, fear, and anxiety, and the secondary emotions were guilt, betrayal, and anger. Third, the athlete’s experience of interpersonal trauma affected negative changes in cognition, changes in self-system regulation, and interpersonal relationships. Fourth, although the athletes’ experience of interpersonal trauma and subsequent psychological trauma was found to be high, only three subjects experienced post-traumatic growth. Fifth, post-traumatic growth includes encouragement and support from people around you such as family and friends, psychological counseling, attempts to reveal yourself through cultural contents, emotional liberation, changes in self-awareness, increased altruism, new possibilities, and resetting goals. In the future, various research, program development, and institutional approaches regarding interpersonal trauma and post-traumatic growth will be needed.
