正念藝術減壓團體應用於考試壓力：國小高年級學生參與之經驗

Mindfulness-Based Art Stress Reduction (MBASR) Group for Reducing Examination Stress among Senior Students in the Elementary School

採行動研究，旨在針對四位有考試壓力的國小高年級學生，瞭解其參與正念藝術減壓團體及緩解考試壓力的經歷。研究者於實務現場發現學生在考試期間知覺到考試壓力，然而小團體輔導主題普遍以情緒、人際表現進行招募，對考試壓力的宣洩與紓解是缺乏的，因此本研究以「考試壓力」為主軸，進行8次的正念藝術減壓團體，以質性資料進行文本編碼、分析，探討高年級學生參與正念藝術減壓團體的經驗歷程。研究結論如下：學生經驗正念藝術減壓模式（MBASR），在團體中獲得對考試壓力的情緒舒緩，並增進自我覺察與表達；透過媒材運用與成員間的支持，從藝術創作中提升對考試壓力之涵容；以考試壓力為主題的藝術創作擴展經驗、增進因應壓力之賦能與行動，正念與創作過渡到生活中且帶來希望感。此研究期程跨越成員期中考時間，實際帶領成員經驗正念靜心所感受到的平靜，在創作中宣洩考試壓力與增進創造力的表現，共同面對考試壓力的挑戰與挫折。期望此研究能使更多現場教師關注學生所面臨的考試壓力，及提供相關工作者對於正念藝術減壓模式（MBASR）的認識與參考。

 

The purposes of this study, based on action research, are to understand how senior students under exam stress in the elementary school process and experience in mindfulness-based art stress reduction group, and how they alleviate exam stress;

The researcher found that students perceive exam stress during exams. However, the topics of small group counseling recruiting is mainly based on students’ emotional and interpersonal performance, rather than on catharsis and relief for exam stress. Therefore, this study focused on “exam stress”, through an 8 times of mindfulness-based art stress reduction group with qualitative research, text coding and analysis, to discuss the progress of mindfulness-based art stress reduction group.

The conclusions of this study are as follows: Mindfulness-based art stress reduction group expand members’ experience in using art materials and creative processes, enabling them to spontaneously interact and creatively express, and also to increase their willingness to apply art works in life. Through MBASR, one can obtain emotional relief and also enhance self-awareness and expression in the group.

This action process spanned members’ mid-term examination period. The researcher led members to experience the peace in themselves through mindfulness meditation for encouraging them to express the pressure of examination and creativity into creation; leaders and members faced the challenges in the group together, and their awareness and introspection made the group more motivating. In the future, It is hoped that this study will encourage more on-site teachers to pay attention to students’ exam stress and provide art therapists with reference to MBASR.
