본 연구는 간호대학생의 공감능력과 정신질환에 대한 편견이 정신질환자에 대한 차별행동에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 실시된 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구를 이해하고 자발적으로 참여를 허락한 간호학과 3학년 학생 175명을 대상으로 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS 21.0 프로그램의 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Linear Regression을 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구결과 공감능력이 증가할수록 정신질환자에 대한 편견과 차별행동은 감소하였고 정신질환자에 대한 편견이 증가할수록 차별행동은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 정신질환자의 차별행동에 영향을 준 요인은 편견과 공감능력이었으며 그 설명력은 18.8%로 나타났다. 그러므로 간호대학생의 정신질환자에 대한 편견과 차별행동을 감소시키기 위해 차별행동에 영향을 주는 요인들을 고려한 간호학 교육 과정 내에 공감증진과 차별감소를 위한 교육 프로그램이 필요하다.
