Abstract

This study analyzes how the satisfaction of nursing students with their chosen major affected the outcome of their future engagement in the major. The survey included 127 nursing students at two nursing colleges, each located in Busan and Gyeongsangbuk-do, and results were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Our results indicate that scores achieved for level of satisfaction in the major and engagement in the major were both higher than the mid value on a 5 point Likert Scale, being 3.91 and 3.61, respectively. Moreover, satisfaction with school life resulted in good health of the student. The student was self-motivated when applying to enter the school when level of satisfaction and engagement in the major was high. Engagement in the major was also predicted to be affected by other factors (accounting for 26%), in the following order: being satisfied with school life, self-motivated when applying to the school, and having a high average grade. Based on the results of analysis obtained by adding sub-variables pertaining to major satisfaction, 65.4% factors predicted to have an effect were general satisfaction as well curricular and relational satisfaction.

본 연구는 간호학 전공 학생을 대상으로 전공에 대한 만족이 전공 몰입에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 실시되었다. 이를 위해 부산·경북지역 소재 각각 1개 대학교 간호학과 학생 127명의 설문조사를 SPSS 22.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 전공 만족도 3.91점, 전공 몰입 3.69점으로 5점 리커트 척도에서 중간값 보다 높았다. 둘째, 학교생활에 만족하고, 건강 상태가 양호하며, 진학 동기가 본인의 의사일 때 전공 만족도와 전공 몰입의 정도가 높았다. 셋째, 전공 몰입의 영향요인으로는 학교생활 만족도의 만족, 진학 동기의 본인 의사, 평균성적의 상위권 순으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 예측되었으며 26.0%를 설명하였다. 전공 만족도 하위변인을 추가로 투입하여 분석한 결과에서는 일반만족과 교과·관계 만족이 영향을 미치는 것으로 예측되었으며 이에 대하여 65.4% 설명하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 간호대학생들의 전공 만족도와 전공 몰입 향상을 위한 논의를 하였다.
