Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the mediating effects of coping on the impact of life stress on depression, subjective well-being and psychological well-being in nursing students. Self-report questionnaires were used to collect data from 147 nursing students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient and hierarchical multiple regression. Nursing students who had a higher level of depression had a higher level of life stress, as well as a higher frequency of avoidance coping. Conversely, those who had a higher level of subjective well-being and psychological well-being had a lower level of life stress, as well as a lower frequency of avoidance coping. There were also significant positive correlations between psychological well-being and problem solving coping. The results showed that avoidance coping partially mediated the effects of life stress on depression, subjective well-being and psychological well-being. The results suggest that it is necessary to offer stress management programs to reduce avoidance coping, with additional consideration of life stress and coping strategies, to prevent depression and improve well-being among nursing students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 생활스트레스와 대처가 우울 및 주관적 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 대처의 매개효과가 있는지 검증하기 위한 상관성 조사연구이다. 간호대학생 147명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였고, 기술통계, 상관분석, 위계적 회귀분석, Sobel test 방법으로 분석하였다. 간호대학생의 우울은 생활스트레스, 회피중심 대처와 정적 상관관계를, 주관적 안녕감은 생활스트레스, 회피중심 대처와 부적 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 심리적 안녕감은 생활스트레스, 회피중심 대처와 부적 상관관계를, 문제해결중심 대처와 정적 상관관계를 나타내었다. 회피 중심대처는 생활스트레스와 우울 간의 관계에서 부분 매개하는 것으로 나타났고, 생활스트레스와 주관적 안녕감 및 심리적 안녕감 간의 관계에서도 부분 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 생활스트레스가 우울과 안녕감에 미치는 영향에서 회피중심 대처의 사용 정도가 핵심적 역할을 하는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 생활스트레스 수준이 높은 간호대학생들의 우울을 감소하고 안녕감을 증진시키기 위해서는 우선적으로 간호대학생들의 스트레스 정도와 사용하는 스트레스 대처 전략을 확인하는 것이 필요하며, 회피중심 대처를 감소하고 좀 더 효율적인 대처를 활용할 수 있도록 스트레스 대처 중재 프로그램을 제공하는 것이 필요하다.
