Abstract

This study was conducted to identify factors influencing subjective happiness among nursing students. Participants consisted of 147 nursing students who were in the third and fourth years at two universities located in the Chungbuk and Kyungbuk provinces. Data were collected using questionnaires that looked at college-based stress, clinical-based stress, self-esteem, and subjective happiness from September 26 to October 29, 2016. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 statistics program with descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Scheffe's test, and hierarchical regression. The mean score for subjective happiness was 19.91 (range: 4 to 28). The mean for college-based stress was 2.92, and clinical-based stress was 2.61 (range: 1 to 5). The mean for self-esteem was 29.74 (range: 10 to 40). The significant predictors of subjective happiness in nursing students were self-esteem (p<.001), economic status (p=.002), interpersonal relationships (p=.001), and satisfaction with their major (p=.003). The explanatory power of variance was 68%, with self-esteem serving as the major predictor variable for subjective happiness. Therefore, we need various strategies that can enhance self-esteem, satisfaction with the major, and interpersonal relationships in order to improve nursing students' subjective happiness.

본 연구는 간호학생의 스트레스, 자아존중감, 주관적 행복감 정도를 알아보고 주관적 행복감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위하여 시도되었다. 연구대상은 충북지역과 경북지역에 소재하는 2개의 간호대학에서 임상실습을 경험한 3,4학년 간호학생 중 설문 조사에 동의한 147명이었다. 자료 수집은 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 대상자의 스트레스, 자아존중감 및 주관적 행복감을 조사하였다. 자료수집기간은 2016년 9월 26일부터 동년 10월 29일까지였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 22.0을 이용하여 기술통계, independent t test, ANOVA, scheffe's test와 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 대상자의 주관적 행복감의 평균은 19.91점(28점 만점), 대학 차원 스트레스 평균 2.91점(5점 만점), 임상 차원 스트레스 평균 2.61점(5점 만점), 자아존중감 평균 29.74점(40점 만점)이었다. 위계적 회귀분석 결과 대상자의 주관적 행복감에 영향을 미치는 요인은 자아존중감(p<.001), 경제상태(p=.002), 대인관계(p=.001), 전공만족도(p=.003) 순이었으며, 주관적 행복감에 대한 이들 변인들의 설명력은 68%로, 주관적 행복감에 가장 큰 영향을 미친 변수는 자아존중감으로 나타났다. 이에 간호학생의 주관적 행복감을 증진시키기 위하여 자아존중감과 전공만족도를 높이고 대인관계를 증진시키는 다양한 전략들이 요구된다.
