This study subject to 307 students from J university in Jeonju. The survey was conducted by questionnaire. The survey content consisted of social support, career stress, and general characteristics of the subject. The study found that the lower the academic stress, the higher the social support score in the high family socioeconomic status group and the higher the academic stress, the higher the career stress in the general characteristics of the subjects. Based on the results of this study, we have confirmed that social support affects career Stress. Therefore, social support may serve as a protection factor for health science students who received career stress by relieving stress and improving satisfaction with own life.

본 연구는 보건계열 대학생이 지각한 사회적 지지가 진로 스트레스에 영향을 주는지 알아보고 대학생이 진로 스트레스를 극복하는 효과적인 진로지도로 사회적 지지를 이용한 상담의 기초자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상으로 전주시 J 대학교 보건계열 재학생 총 307명을 연구대상으로 하였으며, 자기기입법으로 설문조사하였다. 설문조사 내용은 사회적 지지, 진로 스트레스, 대상자의 일반적 특성으로 구성하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 일반적 특성에서 성적 스트레스가 낮은 경우와 가구풍요도 점수가 높은 군에서 사회적 지지가 높게 나타났고 대상자의 일반적 특성에서 성적 스트레스가 높은 경우 진로 스트레스가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 보건계열 학생의 사회적 지지에 미치는 요인 변수로 진로 스트레스가 낮을수록, 학년이 낮을수록, 가구풍요도가 높을수록 사회적 지지가 높아지는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 사회적 지지가 진로 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 사회적 지지는 진로 스트레스를 받는 보건계열 대학생에게 스트레스를 완화시키고 자신의 삶에 대한 만족감을 높여 스트레스 상황을 견딜 수 있는 보호요인으로 작용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
