Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the level of empathy and clinical practice stress and the relationship between empathy and clinical practice stress in nursing students. Data were collected from 252 nursing students between 1st September and 31st December 2013. 249 questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The mean scores of empathy level in the subcategories for perspective taking 3.57, fantasy 3.59, empathic concern 3.72 and personal distress 3.15 were above median and the mean score for clinical practice stress 3.03 was above median. Clinical practice stress positively correlated with personal distress on empathy. These findings indicate that there is a need to manage personal distress on empathy for nursing students with high level of personal distress to lessen stress in clinical practice of nursing students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 공감능력과 임상실습 스트레스 정도 및 공감능력과 임상실습 스트레스와의 관계를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 2013년 9월 1일부터 2013년 12월 31일까지 252명의 간호대학생을 대상으로 설문지를 이용하여 자료수집 하였다. 설문에 응답한 249명의 자료를 서술적 분석, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 간호대학생의 공감능력 수준은 하위영역별로 관점 취하기 3.57점, 상상하기 3.59점, 공감적 관심 3.72점, 개인적 고통 3.15점으로 중간 이상의 수준이었고, 임상실습 스트레스는 3.03점으로 중간 이상의 수준이었다. 임상실습 스트레스는 공감능력의 하위영역 중 개인적 고통과 정적 상관관계가 있었다. 간호대학생의 임상실습 스트레스를 개선시키기 위해 개인적 고통 수준이 높은 간호대학생의 경우 임상실습 스트레스 수준을 어떻게 관리할 것인지에 대한 방안이 강구되어야 하겠다.
