Abstract

This study was to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and adjustment of college life as well as the effect of emotional intelligence on adjustment of college life in first year nursing college students. The participants were 104 first year nursing college students. Data was collected from June 11 to 13, 2012 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression. The mean scores for emotional intelligence 3.59 and adjustment of college life 3.01 were above average. A significant and positive correlation was found between emotional intelligence and adjustment of college life. The emotional intelligence predicted adjustment of college life. The strongest predictor on adjustment of college life was emotional recognition and next predictors were in order of empathy and emotional expression among the sub-factors of emotional intelligence. The results of this study suggest that it needs to develop the program for improving the emotional intelligence for better adjustment of college life in college nursing students.

본 연구는 간호학과 신입생의 정서지능이 대학생활적응에 미치는 영향력을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료수집은 일개 대학교 간호학과 신입생 총 104명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료수집은 2012년 6월11일부터 13일까지 실시되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0프로그램을 이용하여 서술통계분석, 상관관계 및 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과 간호학과 신입생의 정서지능 정도는 평균 3.59(5점 만점), 대학생활적응 정도는 평균 3.01(5점 만점)으로 보통보다 높게 나타났다. 대상자의 정서지능은 대학생활적응과 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한 정서지능이 대학생활적응에 15%의 설명력(F=4.629, $p=.001^{**}$)을 보였고, 정서지능의 하부영역 중 특히 유의한 영향을 미친 정서인식, 감정이입, 정서표현을 적용하여 다중회귀분석을 실시하였을 때 설명력이 16.2%(F=7.627, $p=.000^{**}$)로 증가하였다. 정서지능은 간호학과 신입생의 학업적응과 개인적 심리적 사회적으로 성공적인 대학생활적응에 필수적인 능력이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 간호학과 신입생이 성공적인 대학생활적응을 할 수 있는 중요한 요소인 정서지능을 계발하고 향상시킬 수 있는 방안이 필요하다.
