Abstract

This paper describes the relationship and influencing factors among academic stress, university life adaptation, and health promotion behaviors of health college students. Data were collected from October 2017 to May 2018 using a structural questionnaire, which was completed by 223 health college students in D metropolitan city. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple regression using an IBM SPSS 20.0. As a result, the mean scores were as follows: academic stress, 3.02±0.89; university life adaptation, 3.16±0.48; health promotion behavior, 2.14±0.45. Correlation analysis of the variables revealed a negative relationship between academic stress and health promotion behavior and a positive relationship between university life adaptation and health promotion behavior. The factors affecting the health promotion behavior were the economic level, satisfaction with major, academic stress, and university life adaptation, which explained approximately 37.5% of the total. In conclusion, to increase the health promotion behavior of health-related college students, it is necessary to develop programs that reduce academic stress and improve university life adaptation. In addition, systematic efforts to identify the general characteristics of the subjects are needed.

본 연구는 보건계열 학생을 대상으로 학업스트레스, 대학생활적응 및 건강증진행위의 관련성을 알아보고 건강증진행위에 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 연구로서, 2017년 10월부터 2018년 5월까지 실시하였다. D광역시에 소재하고 있는 대학교 보건계열학과의 재학생을 대상으로 연구의 목적을 이해하고 동의한 223명을 대상으로 서면 동의서를 받은 후 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다(1041490-20171010-HR-002). 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS 20.0(IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA)을 사용하여 빈도분석, T-test, ANOVA, 상관분석, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구 결과, 연구대상자의 학업스트레스 평균은 3.02±0.89점, 대학생활적응 평균은 3.16±0.48점, 건강증진행위 평균은 2.14±0.45점으로 나타났으며, 학업스트레스가 낮을수록, 대학생활적응이 높을수록 건강증진행위가 높게 나타났다. 대상자의 건강증진행위에 영향을 주는 요인은 경제수준, 전공만족도, 학업스트레스, 대학생활적응이었으며, 보건계열 대학생의 건강증진행위를 37.5% 설명하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 보건계열 대학생들의 건강증진행위를 높이기 위해 학업스트레스는 낮추고 대학생활적응을 높여주는 프로그램 개발이 필요하며, 대상자들의 일반적인 특성 파악을 위한 체계화 된 노력도 요구된다.
