본 연구는 모자 보호시설 아동을 대상으로 집단미술치료가 불안 및 자아존중감에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상은 G시에 소재한 S모자 보호시설의 초등학교 저학년 아동이며. 모자보호시설에 종사하는 사회복지사의 추천을 받아 10명을 선정하고 실험집단과 통제집단을 각 5명씩 배치하여 구성하였다. 실험집단은 주 2회 60분씩 총 16회기의 집단미술치료 프로그램을 실시하였고 통제집단은 미실시하였다. 연구도구로는 불안척도는 Castenada등(1956)이 소아용 측정도구로 Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale(CMAS)을 만든것을 최진숙과 조수철(1990)이 번안하여 만든 검사지를, 자아존중감척도는 Coopersmith(1967)의 자아존중감 검사(SEI: self-esteem inventory)를 토대로 하여 윤수일(1998)이 수정․보완한 것을 사용하였다.
본 연구의 결과는 실험집단은 통제집단보다 불안점수가 낮아졌으며 자아존중감 하위요인 전부가 유의미하게 향상되었다. 따라서 집단 미술치료가 모자 보호시설 아동의 불안을 감소하고 자아존중감을 향상시키는데 영향을 주었음을 알 수 있었다.
