초록

The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of mindfulness as moderated by job stress on the relationship between the developmental levels and psychological burnout amongst play therapists. A total of 204 play therapists were selected as the subjects of this study. They responded to a survey, The Korean Counselor Level Questionnaire(KCLQ), as well as the Mindfulness Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory(MBI), and the Job Stress Inventory. The main research findings are as follows. First, the partial mediating effect of mindfulness was found to be significant in the relationship between developmental levels and psychological burnout amongst play therapists. Second, when job stress is low or average, the control effect of job stress was significant in the relationship between the developmental levels of play therapists as well as their levels of mindfulness. Third, when job stress is low or average, the mediating effect of mindfulness controlled by job stress was shown to be significant in the relationship between the developmental levels of play therapists and psychological burnout. As a result, this study shows that it is not only important to increase the levels of development and mindfulness of play therapists but also to reduce their levels of job stress, if we are to influence and reduce the degree and frequency of psychological burnout they experience.
