Abstract

The effects of positive psychology promoting programs for undergraduate nursing students were evaluated. The study was designed using a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design; data were collected between June 22 and September 4, 2019. The participants were 37 nursing students, who were assigned to an experimental group (n=18) and a control group (n=19) at two colleges in D and P city. The positive psychology-promoting program was provided for six weeks (12 sessions, 100~120 min.). The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, 𝑥2 test, repeated measure ANOVA, and paired t-test with the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. After receiving the positive psychology-promoting program, a difference in optimism (F=16.74, p<.001), psychological well-being (F=14.69, p<.001), and stress-coping strategy (problem solving; F=4.35, p=.015, social support; F=3.87, p=.028) was observed between the experimental and control groups. The results indicate that the positive psychology-promoting program was effective in increasing optimism, psychological well-being, and stress coping strategy in undergraduate nursing students. These findings will contribute to the development of a program to improve the mental health of undergraduate nursing students.

본 연구는 간호대학생을 위한 긍정심리 증진 프로그램을 개발하고 적용하여 프로그램의 효과를 알아보고자 시도하였다. 연구방법은 비동등성 대조군 전후설계의 유사실험 연구이며, 자료수집 기간은 2019년 6월 22일에서 9월 4일까지이다. 연구대상자는 D시와 P시에 소재한 2개 대학의 간호대학생 37명이며, 실험군 18명, 대조군 19명이다. 긍정심리 증진 프로그램은 총 6주간 주 2회, 총 12회기로 회당 100분~120분으로 운영하였다. 자료분석 방법은 SPSS/WIN 21.0 program을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, 𝑥2 test, repeated measure ANOVA와 paired t-test로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 긍정심리 증진 프로그램을 실시한 후 시기와 집단 간 교호작용을 분석한 결과, 낙관성(F=16.74, p<.001), 심리적 안녕감(F=14.69, p<.001) 및 스트레스 대처전략(문제해결 중심 대처 F=4.35, p=.015, 사회적 지지 추구 대처 F=3.87, p=.028)에서 시기와 집단 간의 교호작용에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 즉, 긍정심리 증진 프로그램은 간호대학생의 낙관성, 심리적 안녕감 및 스트레스 대처전략(문제해결중심, 사회적지지 추구)의 향상에 효과가 확인되었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 간호대학생의 정신건강을 위한 긍정심리증진 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
