Abstract

In an attempt to provide basic information for the development of programs geared toward facilitating college adjustment of nursing students, this study was undertaken to verify the meaning of life, empathy skills and resilience, as factors affecting the adjustment of nursing students to college and factors influencing relationships of the variables. Between March 1 to April 30, 2019, 531 nursing students in two different colleges located in Gyeonggi Province were enrolled to undertake a survey. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, t-tests, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression. Results reveal that the meaning of life had a significant positive correlation with empathy skills, resilience and the degree of college adjustment. It was also ascertained that college adjustment was better when the meaning of life, empathy skills and resilience were greater. Factors affecting college adjustment include gender, grade, education at admission, health status, major satisfaction, stress, family economy, meaning of life and resilience; these variables had a 44.8% explain ability of college adjustment. Considering the findings of this study, we propose that sustained education and program development are required to enhance the meaning of life, empathy skills and resilience of college students to ensure their successful college adjustment.

본 연구의 목적은 간호대학생을 대상으로 대학생활 적응에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 생의 의미와 공감능력, 극복력을 확인하고 각 변수 간 상관관계 및 대학생활 적응 영향요인을 파악함으로써 간호대학생의 대학생활 적응을 증진시킬 수 있는 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 자료 수집은 경기도에 있는 2개 대학교 간호대학생 531명을 대상으로 2019년 3월 1일에서 4월 30일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 대학생활 적응에 미치는 영향요인은 다중 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 간호대학생의 생의 의미는 공감능력, 극복력, 대학생활 적응 정도와 유의한 양적 상관관계로 나타났고, 공감능력은 극복력, 대학생활 적응 정도와 유의한 양적 상관관계로 나타났다. 또한, 극복력은 대학생활 적응 정도와 유의한 양적 상관관계로 나타나 생의 의미, 공감능력, 극복력이 높을수록 대학생활 적응을 잘하는 것으로 확인되었다. 대학생활 적응에 영향을 미치는 관련 요인으로는 성별, 학년, 입학 당시 학력, 건강상태, 전공 만족도, 스트레스, 가족 경제력, 생의 의미, 극복력으로 이들 변수의 대학생활 적응에 대한 설명력은 44.8%였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 간호대학생들의 대학생활 적응을 위한 생의 의미 향상, 공감능력 증진, 극복력을 향상시킬 수 있는 지속적인 교육 및 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
