Abstract

This study was conducted to confirm the level of stress and infection prevention behavior of nursing college freshman during the COVID-19 pandemic. 119 nursing college freshmen who took remote classes because face-to-face classes were not possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS WIN/PC 26.0 statistics program. As a result of this study, the sensitivity to stress was significantly higher when the attitude towards college life was passive (F=5.92, p=.004), and when people perceived themselves as healthy, their stress was significantly lower (t=-2.22, p=.029). In addition, those who responded that they were very uncomfortable due to activity restrictions due to COVID-19 had a significantly higher level of infection prevention behavior than those who responded that they did not feel any discomfort (F=3.51, p=.018). In a pandemic environment such as COVID-19, efforts to promote a positive attitude and awareness of health conditions are needed to reduce the stress of college freshmen and increase infection prevention behavior.

본 연구는 COVID-19로 인한 팬데믹 상황이 진행되고 있는 상황에서 대학에 입학한 간호대학생의 스트레스와 감염예방행위 수준을 확인하기 위해 수행된 연구이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 COVID-19 팬데믹으로 대면 수업이 불가능하여 비대면 방식으로 원격수업이 진행된 시기에 입학한 간호대학 신입생으로 119명의 자료를 분석하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN/PC 26.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, 독립표본 t-검정, 일원분산분석과 피어슨 상관계수로 분석하였다. 연구 결과에서 대학생활 태도가 소극적인 경우 스트레스에 대한 민감도가 유의하게 높았으며(F=5.92, p=.004), 자신의 건강상태를 건강하다고 지각하고 있는 경우 스트레스가 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났다(t=-2.22, p=.029). 또한 COVID-19로 인한 활동제한으로 매우 불편하다고 응답한 경우 불편함이 없다고 응답한 대상자에 비해 감염예방행위 수준이 유의하게 높았다(F=3.51, p=.018). COVID-19와 같은 팬데믹 환경에서 대학 신입생의 스트레스를 낮추고 감염예방행위를 높이기 위해서는 긍정적인 태도와 건강상태 인식을 고취하기 위한 노력이 필요하다.
