Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning on awareness of sexual minorities among nursing college students in graduation year. The participants were eight students attending three nursing colleges in Provinces C and K. Data were collected from November 2023 to January 2024. through in-depth interview until data saturation. The collected data were analyzed by applying Colaizzi's phenomenological research method. In this study, four categories and eight theme clusters were generated. The four categories consisted of 'Ambivalence towards sexual minorities', 'Empathy for the sexual minorities' difficult situation', 'Fear of caring for sexual minorities', and 'Preparation for the future as a nurse'. These results will contribute to the qualitative improvement of nursing education by providing the grounds for the effective educational strategy development which improve nursing students' awareness and care of sexual minorities. In-depth studies on various factors affecting awareness of sexual minorities in nursing students and problems are required.

본 연구의 목적은 졸업학년 간호대학생의 성 소수자에 대한 인식의 의미를 탐구하는 것이다. 연구참여자는 C도와 K도 소재의 3개 간호대학에 재학 중인 졸업학년 학생 8명이었다. 자료수집은 2023년 11월부터 2024년 1월까지 심층 면담을 통해 이루어졌으며, 자료는 현상학 연구방법(Colaizzi)을 활용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 4개의 범주와 8개의 주제 모음이 도출되었다. 4개의 범주는'성 소수자에 대한 양가감정', '성 소수자의 힘든 처지에 대한 공감', '성 소수자 돌봄에 대한 두려움', '간호사로서 미래를 위한 준비'로 구성되었다. 본 연구결과는 간호대학생의 바람직한 성 소수자 인식과 돌봄을 향상시키기 위한 간호교육 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공하여 간호교육의 내실화와 질적 향상에 기여할 것이다. 그리고 간호대학생의 성 소수자 인식에 영향을 주는 다양한 요인과 발생 문제에 대한 심도 있는 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
