Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact on mental health of university students from job-seeking stress, career decision-making, and social support. 429 university students from the three universities in J province were instructed to answer structured questionnaires, and the data was analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation, and Regression analysis using SPSS 24.0 software. The results reveal that job-seeking stress shows positive correlation to mental health, whereas career decision-making and social support show statistically significant negative correlations. The results also show that the factors that affect mental health are job-seeking stress and social support with Exploratory power of 48.9%. It is necessary to develop and apply measures that consider impact factors such as job-seeking stress to improve mental health of university students. It is also important to establish and maintain a support system for mental health.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 취업스트레스, 진로결정 자기효능감 및 사회적 지지가 정신건강에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료 수집은 J도에 소재한 3개 대학의 대학생 429명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여, t-test, ANOVA, 피어슨 상관분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과 정신건강은 취업스트레스와 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 진로결정 자기효능감 및 사회적 지지와 통계적으로 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 정신건강에 영향을 미치는 변인은 취업스트레스, 사회적 지지 순으로 나타났으며, 설명력은 48.9%이었다. 대학생의 정신건강을 증진시키기 위하여 영향요인인 취업스트레스를 고려한 정신건강 증진 방안을 개발하고 적용할 필요가 있다고 사료된다. 또한, 정신건강을 위한 지원체계를 확립하고 유지하는 것이 중요하다.
