Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of experiential avoidance on the relationships between life stress, depression and smartphone addiction in nursing college students. This study was conducted using a descriptive survey design. Participants were 283 nursing college students attending freshmen and sophomore yearsat one university in Jeollanam-do. Data were collected from September 1 to 15, 2015 using self-report questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, hierarchical regression and Sobel test with SPSS 21.0. There were significant positive correlations between life stress, depression, smartphone addiction and experiential avoidance. Experiential avoidance partially mediated the relationship between life stress and depression of nursing students. Additionally, experiential avoidance partially mediated the relationship between their life stress and smartphone addiction. The results show that experiential avoidance plays a key role in psychopathology and grows with depression and smartphone addiction. Based on the present findings, nursing interventions should be developed to decrease experiential avoidance, with additional consideration towards the relationship between life stress and experiential avoidance, in order to prevent depression and smartphone addiction among nursing college students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 생활스트레스가 우울과 스마트폰 중독에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 경험회피의 매개효과를 확인하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구는 전남지역 소재의 일개 대학교에 1-2학년에 재학 중인 총 283명 간호대학생을 대상으로, 2015년 9월 1일부터 15일까지 자기보고식 설문지로 조사하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 21.0을 이용하여, 기술통계, 상관분석, 위계적 회귀분석, Sobel test 방법으로 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 간호대학생의 생활스트레스는 경험회피, 우울, 스마트폰 중독과 정적 상관관계를 나타내었고, 경험회피는 우울과 스마트폰 중독 사이에서, 우울은 스마트폰 중독과 모두 정적상관을 나타내었다. 또한 간호대학생의 생활스트레스와 우울 사이에 경험회피가 부분 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났고, 생활스트레스와 스마트폰 중독 사이에서도 경험회피의 부분 매개효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 경험회피가 간호대학생의 우울이나 스마트폰 중독과 같은 정신건강문제를 발생시키는데 핵심기제임을 의미한다. 본 연구결과에 근거하여, 간호대학생들의 우울과 스마트폰 중독과 같은 정신건강문제를 예방하기 위해서는 대학생활 동안 경험하는 생활스트레스와 경험회피 정도를 우선적으로 확인하고, 경험회피를 감소시킬 수 있는 중재 프로그램을 개발하여 제공하는 것이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
