초록

암환자에게 부부적응은 심리적인 안녕 뿐만 아니라 치료경과 및 생존율에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보
고되고 있어 이들의 부부적응을 도모하기 위한 사회복지 노력과 관심이 절실히 필요하다 하겠다. 이에
본 연구는 암환자와 배우자의 커플자료를 수집하여 이들의 부부적응에 대해 조사하였으며, 기초자료가
미비한 실정에서 부부관계의 지표로 부부적응에의 필수고려 요인으로 지목되고 있는 부부의사소통의
영향을 조사하였다. 또한 암환자와 배우자의 상호의존성을 고려하여 부부의사소통이 부부적응에 미치
는 영향을 자기 자신에게 미치는 영향(자기효과), 상대방에게 미치는 영향(상대방효과)을 고찰하였다.
이를 통해 부부적응에 긍정적 부부의사소통의 중요성을 제시하였으며, 부정적 의사소통 유형인 요구-
철회의사소통에서 환자의 배우자에 대한 상대방효과가 유의한 것으로 나타나 환자에 대한 의사소통 교
육에의 필요성을 제시하였다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 실천적 함의 및 후속연구에 대한 제언을 제
시하였다.
