Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the correlation between the school-life stress, depression and college adjustment of dormitory residents, in order to provide the basic data needed to establish a strategy to improve the adjustment of college students. The subjects were 210 students in Korea. The data were collected using a self-report questionnaire from September 13 to 19, 2014, and analyzed by frequency, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation using the SPSS Win 21 program. The school-life stress, depression and college adjustment of the students residing in the dormitory on a 5-point scale were 2.43, 1.88 and 3.81, respectively. School-life stress had a significant positive correlation with depression (r=.639, p<.001) and significant negative correlation with college adjustment (r=-.709, p<.001). Depression had a significant negative correlation with college adjustment (r=-.788, p<.001). Those students with a higher school-life stress showed higher levels of depression and lower levels of college adjustment. Those students with a higher level of depression showed a lower level of college adjustment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and test a suitable program in order to understand the differences between psychological adjustment based on gender, and to decrease school-life stress and depression and increase college adjustment.

본 연구의 목적은 기숙사 거주 대학생의 학교생활 스트레스, 우울 및 대학생활적응 간의 관계를 파악하여 대상자의 대학생활적응을 향상시키는 전략을 마련하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구의 대상자는 B광역시, C시에 소재하는 5개 대학교에서 기숙사에 거주하는 대학생 210명에게 설문지를 이용하여 2014년 9월 13일부터 9월 19일까지 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS Win 21 program을 이용하여 빈도, t-test, ANOVA로 분석하였고, 피어슨의 상관계수를 구하였다. 연구결과 기숙사에 거주하는 대학생의 학교생활 스트레스는 5점 만점에 2.43점, 우울은 5점 만점에 1.88점, 대학생활적응은 5점 만점에 3.81점으로 나타났다. 일반적 특성에 따른 학교생활 스트레스(t=-3.40, p=.001), 대학생활적응(t=3.38, p=.001)은 성별에 따라 차이를 나타내었고, 우울(t=-0.97, p=.334)은 성별에 따른 차이가 없었다. 기숙사 거주 대학생의 학교생활 스트레스와 우울은 유의한 양의 상관관계(r=.639, p<.001), 학교생활 스트레스는 대학생활적응과 유의한 음의 상관관계(r=-.709, p<.001), 우울과 대학생활적응은 유의한 음의 상관관계(r=-.788, p<.001)가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 학교생활 스트레스가 높을수록 우울이 높고 대학생활적응은 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 우울이 높을수록 대학생활적응은 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 기숙사에 거주하는 대학생의 대학생활 적응을 높이기 위해 성별에 따른 심리적 적응의 차이를 이해하고, 대학생들의 학교생활 스트레스와 우울을 낮추며 대학생활적응을 높일 수 있도록 프로그램을 개발하여 효과를 검증하는 연구가 필요하다.
