This study was conducted to understand the effect of brain dance program on the changes of stress hormones and the autonomic nervous system of teenaged victims of school violence. The study subjects were 13 teenaged victims of school violence who visited a youth protection center in Daejeon. Dividing them into a control group and an experimental group who participated in the brain dance program that was developed by Anne Green Gilbert, which was conducted twice a week for twelve weeks. For stress hormones, cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine were analyzed through blood analysis while LF norm, HF norm and LF/HF ratio were analyzed through SA-3000p for the test of autonomic nervous system. SPSS 18.0 was used for data analysis while conducting Wilcoxon's test and paired t-test. The study findings are as follows: The cortisol epinephrine and norepinephrine, all of which are the subordinate variables of stress hormone variables, showed significant differences in accordance with the treatment(p<.05), which were decreased by brain dance program. The LF norm, HF norm and LF/HF ratio of the autonomic nervous system showed significant differences in accordance with the treatment(p<.05), which were increased by brain dance program. As a result, it is considered that the brain dance program brought positive changes to stress management of the victimized teenagers of school violence. It is also expected to be effectively used as an educational program for the victimized teenagers of school violence in the future.
