Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between anger expression and self-esteem of female college students of dental hygiene. Participants were 598 female students who majored in dental hygiene from randomly selected colleges, located in Daejeon and Chungcheongbuk-do. Data were gathered from May 20 to June 5, 2014, using structured questionnaires. The major findings of the study were as follows: the correlation between anger expression and self-esteem was analyzed, and self-esteem was found to have a weak significant negative correlation with anger expression. On analyzing data to explore which variables affected self-esteem, it was found that self-esteem was influenced by grade, school record, harassment, language psychological violence, and bullying. The above-mentioned findings suggest that anger expression is related to self-esteem. After graduation from college, dental hygiene students, encounter a variety of interpersonal relationships in their work. Therefore self-esteem programs need to be developed and implemented at an individual, departmental, and collegiate level to help students learn to respect themselves and others, and to provide appropriate care.

본 연구는 일부 지역의 치위생전공 여학생이 주관적으로 느끼는 분노에 대한 감정표현과 자아존중감 간의 관계에 대해 생각하고 관련성을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 연구대상은 편의 추출된 대전광역시와 충청북도에 소재하는 대학교의 치위생과 598명의 여학생을 대상으로 하였으며, 자료는 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 2014년 5월 20일부터 2014년 6월 5일까지 수집하였다. 자아존중감과 분노표현 간의 관계를 알아보기 위해 분석한 결과, 분노표현과 자아존중감은 부적상관관계(p<0.01)를 보였으며 분노표현의 하위영역인 괴롭힘(p<0.01), 언어 심리적 폭력(p<0.05), 따돌림(p<0.01)과도 부적 상관성을 보였다. 자아존중감의 하위영역 중 부모양육태도 및 관계(p<0.01)만이 분노표현과 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 자아존중감에 영향을 미치는 관련 변수들을 파악하기 위해 분석한 결과는 학년(p=0.040), 학교 성적이 낮은 하 집단보다 상 집단(p<0.001)과, 중 집단(p=010)인 경우 분노표현의 하위영역인 괴롭힘(p=0.002), 언어 심리적 폭력(p=0.035), 따돌림(p<0.001)이 자아존중감에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났고, 이들 변수의 설명력은 39.3%였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 자아존중감은 분노표현과 높지는 않지만 관련성을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 졸업 후 다양한 대인관계, 즉 환자, 치과의사, 동료 치과위생사 및 치과관련 다양한 직종분야의 사람들과의 밀접한 관계에서 업무를 수행해야 하는 치위생전공 대학생들에게 개인 및 학과 또는 대학 차원에서 자신을 존중하고 타인을 배려할 수 있도록 자기계발 및 자아존중 프로그램의 개발 운영이 필요하다고 생각된다.
