Abstract

This study was a descriptived research study to determine the impact of empathy, communication competence, and personality on college adaptation among nursing students attending a university in City Y. The research method was a self-administered survey targeting 200 nursing students at a university in Y City, and data were collected from April 29, 2024 to May 27, 2024. The research statistical method used was the SPSS/WIN 25.0 statistical program, and was analyzed using t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. In the correlation between each variable, college adaptation is related to empathy(r=.522, p<.001), communication competence(r=.557, p<.001), and personality(r=.561, p<.001). And as a result of regression analysis, as a factor affecting the subjects' college adaptation, second-year students(β=-.148, p=.013) had a higher level of college adaptation than first-year students(β=-.297, p<.001). Additionally, the level of college adaptation was high in the order of empathy(β=.295, p<.001), personality(β=.230, p<.001), and communication competence(β=.157, p=.050), and the explanatory power was 47.6%(Adj R2=.476, p<.001). Therefore, in order for nursing students to adapt to college, various psychological and emotional supports must be provided at the school and department level, and various customized programs that can improve empathy, communication competence, and personality should be developed and applied by considering the characteristics of nursing students by grade.

본 연구는 Y시 일개 대학교에 재학 중인 간호대학생들을 대상으로 공감능력, 의사소통능력 및 인성이 대학적응에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구다. 연구방법은 Y시 일개 대학교의 간호대학생 200명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문조사를 하였으며, 2024년 4월 29일부터 2024년 5월 27일까지 자료를 수집하였다. 연구 통계 방법은 SPSS/WIN 25.0 프로그램을 이용하였으며, t-test, 일원배치분산분석, 피어슨상관관계 그리고 다중회귀분석을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 간호대학생의 대학적응은 공감능력(r=.522, p<.001), 의사소통능력(r=.557, p<.001) 그리고 인성(r=.561, p<.001)과는 정적인 상관관계가 있었다. 대상자들의 대학 적응에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 2학년(β=-.148, p=.013)이 1학년(β=-.297, p<.001)보다 대학적응 수준이 높았고, 2학년(β=-.148, p=.013)이 1학년(β=-.297, p<.001)보다 대학적응 수준이 높았고, 공감능력(β=.295, p<.001), 인성(β=.230, p<.001), 의사소통능력(β=.157, p=050) 순으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 변수의 대학적응에 대한 설명력은 47.3% 였다(Adj R2 =.473, p<.001). 따라서 간호대학생의 대학적응을 위해 학교 및 학과 차원에서 다양한 심리적 및 정서적 지원이 이루어져야 하며, 학년별 간호 대학생의 특성을 고려하여 공감능력, 의사소통능력 및 인성을 향상시킬 수 있는 다양한 맞춤형 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
