Self- report questionnaire surveys were conducted toward 282 freshman nursing students to measure college life adjustment, psychological well-being, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy. Data were collected from September 22 through October 7, 2016. This study was analyzed using SPSS Win 18.0. The average mean of college life adjustment was 3.36 and academic activity was the highest, followed by individual psychology, social experience, Interpersonal relationship, and career preparation. A correlation of psychological well-being, emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, college life adjustment and sub-scales showed positive correlation.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 대학생활 적응 및 하위 구성요소에 영향을 미치는 예측요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사 연구이다. 연구대상자는 간호학과 1학년 282명을 대상으로 하였고, 대학생활 적응, 심리적 안녕감, 감성지능, 자기효능감 정도를 설문지로 측정하였다. 자료수집기간은 2016년 9월 22일부터 10월 7일까지이었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 간호대학생의 대학생활 적응은 평균평점 3.36점이었고, 하위 구성요소는 학업진로가 가장 높았고, 개인심리, 사회체험, 대인관계, 진로준비 순이었다. 대학생활 적응 및 하위 구성요소는 심리적 안녕감, 감성지능 및 자기효능감과 유의한 정적인 상관관계를 보였다. 대학생활 적응을 예측하는 가장 강력한 변수는 자기효능감이었고, 하위 구성요소인 학업활동은 학교성적, 진로준비는 자기효능감, 개인심리와 사회체험은 감성지능, 대인관계는 심리적 안녕감으로 나타났다. 따라서 간호대학생의 대학생활 적응 및 하위 구성요소에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 충분히 반영하여 대학생활 적응 향상 프로그램을 개발해야 할 것이다.
