Abstract

The low birth rate in South Korea is a very serious problem. Recently, as personal happiness has emerged as an important life value of life, unmarried people have developed a negative tendency toward marriage. This study was conducted to investigate the attitude toward marriage, gender role and having children among college students, and to identify the factors affecting marriage. The participants were 383 unmarried nursing college students who live in D city. Data were collected from self-report questionnaires and analyzed using the t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression using the SPSS 22.0 program. Gender was a significant variable influencing attitude toward marriage. Moreover, the attitude toward marriage was negatively correlated with gender role, and positively correlated with having children. Attitude toward gender role was negatively correlated with having children. Regression analysis of the factors affecting attitude toward marriage showed that gender (male), attitude toward gender role, and attitude toward having children were significant influencing factors. Moreover, this model explained 51.9% of variance in attitude toward marriage. Overall, it is necessary to change individual values to solve the problem of low birthrate.

최근 한국의 출산율 저하는 매우 심각한 문제이다. 개인의 행복이 인생의 중요한 삶의 가치로 부상하면서, 사회적으로 결혼에 대한 부정적인 인식이 증가하고 있고, 이는 비혼이나 만혼으로 이어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초기 성인기인 간호대학생을 대상으로 결혼관, 성역할관, 자녀관을 조사하고, 결혼관에 미치는 요인을 규명하고자 하였다. 자료 수집은 D시에 위치한 일개 간호대학생 383명을 대상으로 자가보고식 설문지를 이용하여 실시하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하여 t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, stepwise multiple regression 분석하였다. 연구결과, 일반적 특성에 따른 결혼관 분석에서 성별은 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 또한 결혼관은 자녀관과 양적 상관관계가 있었으며, 성역할관은 결혼관, 자녀관과 부적 상관관계를 나타냈다. 결혼관에 미치는 요인은 성별(남성), 성역할관, 자녀관이었으며, 이 때 설명력은 51.9%였다. 따라서 결혼과 출산에 대한 문제 해결을 위하여, 사회 전반적으로 긍정적인 결혼관과 자녀관 형성과 양성 평등적인 결혼 생활에 대한 사회적 문화를 형성하고 이와 관련된 대학교육과 국가정책을 수립할 필요가 있다.
