Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of mental health among nursing students in Korea and identify factors influencing the tendency to mental health. A self-report survey was conducted with South Korean nursing students who were from 19 to 23 years old. 269 nursing students were included in the study. The instruments utilized in the study were Symptom Checklist-90-Revision, Stress and multidimensional coping. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and Simultaneous multiple regression with SPSS WIN 20.0. The average mental health score of the participants was 0.57. Significant predictors for mental health 'College-level stress', 'Self-criticism', 'Passive withdrawal', 'Nursing satisfaction' and 'Health state'. The study findings suggest that nursing students require special concern regarding the risk of mental health. Multi and interdisciplinary mental health promotion program will enhance the mental health of nursing students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 정신건강 정도와 이에 영향하는 요인을 규명하기 위해 실시되었다. 자기보고형 설문지를 이용하였으며, 19-23세의 간호대학생 269명이 참여하였다. 사용되어진 도구로는 간이 정신진단검사, 다차원적 대처척도, 간호대학생의 스트레스가 사용되었다. SPSS WIN 20.0을 사용하여 대상자의 빈도분석, 피어슨 상관관계, 회귀분석법을 실시하였다. 간호대학생의 정신건강 수준은 고민을 나눌 수 있는 가족, 친구, 그 외 주위 사람, 건강상태, 학과만족도, 소극적 철수, 정서표출, 적극적 망각, 자제, 고집, 긍정적 비교, 동화 또는 양보, 체념, 자기비판, 문제해결적 지원추구, 정서적 지원추구, 종교적 추구, 대학차원 스트레스, 임상차원 스트레스와 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 이들 변수 중에서 간호대학생의 정신건강은 대학차원 스트레스, 자기비판, 소극적 철수, 학과만족도, 건강상태에 의해 44.9% 설명되어졌다. 본 연구 결과를 근거로 간호대학생의 정신건강향상을 위해서는 이들 요인들이 모두 고려된 다 학제적 접근법이 적합함을 알았으며, 차후 중재를 통한 효과 검증 연구를 제안하는 바이다.
