Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the moderating effect of gratitude disposition as a link between stress and happiness in nursing students. The subjects were 275 nursing students at a university in G-Gun. Data were collected from October 4, 2018 to October 10, 2018 and analyzed by using hierarchical regression analysis. As a result, the final model (Model 3) in regression explained 26.2% of variance in happiness. Stress was an important factor influencing happiness. Stress ${\times}$ gratitude disposition interaction was significant for happiness after adjusting control variables. Gratitude disposition moderated the association between stress and happiness in nursing students. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an intervention program to reduce the stress and increase the gratitude disposition to enhance the happiness of nursing students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 스트레스가 행복감에 미치는 영향에 있어서 감사성향의 조절효과를 확인하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구대상자는 G군에 소재한 대학교의 간호학과 학생으로 자료수집기간은 2018년 10월 4일부터 10월 10일까지였으며, 최종 275부를 분석에 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 위계적 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 최종 모델(모델 3)은 행복감의 26.2%를 설명하였다. 스트레스는 행복감에 영향하는 중요한 요인이었으며, 스트레스와 감사성향의 상호작용항은 통제변수를 고려한 후에도 행복감에 유의한 관련을 나타내었다. 즉, 감사성향은 간호대학생에 있어 스트레스와 행복감의 관계를 조절하는 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 그러므로 간호대학생의 행복감 증진을 위해 스트레스를 감소시키고 감사성향을 높일 수 있는 중재 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.
