A Convergence Study on Awareness of Pediatric Nurses and Nursing Prospects among Nursing Students after Pediatric Clinical Practicum

간호대학생의 아동간호학 실습 후 아동간호사와 간호직전망 인식에 대한 융합적 연구

Abstract

This descriptive convergence research is to get basic data for educational program by investigating awareness on pediatric nurses and nursing prospects after pediatric clinical practicum among 143 junior nursing students. Using SPSS/Win 21.0, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression were carried out. The awareness of subjects on pediatric nurses was $4.09{\pm}0.61$ on a scale of 5, which was higher than the traditional and social ones, and nursing prospects' was $3.31{\pm}0.65$ on a scale of 5. There're significant differences partially in awareness on pediatric nurses according to sex, age, satisfaction in nursing and practium hospitals. Awareness on nursing prospects of those who had average satisfaction in nursing was higher than others(p<.002). There was a positive correlation between subvaribles of awareness on pediatric nurses and nursing prospects(r=.287~.510, p<.01), Traditional and social awareness were the significant factors on nursing prospects in hierarchical multiple regression, and the explannation rate was 29.2%(p<.001). It's needed to raise awareness on nursing prospects by improving traditional and social awareness on pediatric nurses.

본 연구는 간호대학생들의 아동간호학 실습 후 아동간호사와 간호직전망에 대한 인식을 조사하여 교육프로그램의 기초자료를 얻고자, 간호학과 3학년 143명을 대상으로 시행된 서술적 융합조사연구이다. 수집된 자료를 SPSS 21.0으로 기술통계, 평균비교, 상관관계 및 위계적 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 아동간호사에 대한 전문적인식이 5점 만점에 $4.09{\pm}0.61$점으로 전통적인식이나 사회적인식보다 높았고, 간호직전망은 5점 만점에 $3.31{\pm}0.65$점이었다. 성별, 연령, 간호학만족도, 실습병원유형에 따라 아동간호사 인식에 부분적으로 유의한 차이가 있었고, 간호학만족도가 보통인 대상자의 간호직전망인식이 높았다(p<.002). 아동간호사에 대한 인식의 하위영역과 간호직전망 인식 간 양의 상관관계가 있었고(r=.287~.510, p<.01), 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과, 아동간호사에 대한 전통적인식, 사회적인식이 간호직전망에 영향을 미치는 요인이었고, 변수들의 설명력은 29.2%이었다(p<.001). 결론적으로 아동간호사에 대한 전통적 및 사회적 인식을 높임으로써 간호직전망에 대한 인식을 높일 필요가 있다.
