Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe the self-esteem, appearance satisfaction, and job-seeking stress and to investigate the effects of self-esteem and appearance satisfaction on job-seeking stress in nursing and healthcare related students. A total of 515 third and fourth year graduate students were included in this study. The data were collected between May 2 and May 13 of 2016 and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS 19.0. The economic state had an influence on self-esteem, appearance satisfaction, and job-seeking stress; however, the motive of application and decision of the department of selection did not have any influence. A positive correlation was found between self-esteem and appearance satisfaction. Moreover, job-seeking stress was negatively correlated with both self-esteem and appearance satisfaction. The strongest predictor of job-seeking stress was self-esteem. Self-esteem, employment-area, satisfaction with major, and college majors accounted for 24.4% of job-seeking stress based on multiple regression analysis. These findings indicate that it is necessary to develop a program that would increase self-esteem and satisfaction with major and decrease job-seeking stress according to college majors and employment-area in nursing and health care related students.

본 연구는 간호학과와 보건계열학과 졸업예정자 515명을 대상으로 대학생의 자아존중감, 외모만족도, 취업스트레스 정도를 알아보고, 취업스트레스에 미치는 영향요인을 알아보기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료수집은 2016년 5월 2일부터 13일까지 진행하였으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS 19.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도와 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's 검증, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, 다중회귀분석을 통하여 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 대상자의 일반적 특성 중 경제 수준은 자아존중감, 외모만족도, 취업스트레스 모두에 유의한 영향을 미쳤으나, 학과 선택 동기와 학과 선택 결정을 학생 스스로 했는지의 여부는 모든 변수에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 자아존중감과 외모만족도간에는 순상관관계가 있었으며, 취업스트레스는 자아존중감과 외모만족도와 역상관관계가 있었다. 취업스트레스에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 자아존중감이었고 그 외 요인은 취업처, 전공만족도, 전공계열로 24.4%의 설명력을 보였다. 따라서, 간호 보건계열 학생에게 전공계열과 취업처를 고려한 맞춤형 프로그램을 제공함으로써 자아존중감과 전공만족도를 높이고 취업스트레스를 줄여야 할 것으로 사료된다.
