Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the life stress and stress coping of occupational therapy students in an effort to provide directions and various methods to ensure the psychological stability and successful university adjustment of students. The subjects in this study were 369 students majoring in occupational therapy in universities located in Jeolla Province. A self-administered survey was conducted from June 1 to July 30, 2019. The findings of the study were as follows: As for life stress by general characteristics, there were differences in that regard according to gender, academic year, Family relations and economic status. For stress coping, there was a difference in that regard according to gender. Life stress had a significant positive relationship with stress coping, and specifically, it had significant positive relationships with emotion-focused coping and wishful thinking, subfactors of stress coping. The subfactors of life stress had a significant negative correlation with those of stress coping as well. In conclusion, it is necessary to develop and research the effectiveness of stress coping programs to reduce life stress during college life and facilitate the school adjustment of college students.

본 연구는 보건계열 작업치료학과에 재학 중인 대학생의 생활스트레스와 스트레스 대처와의 상관관계를 파악하여 학생들의 심리적 안정 및 스트레스 대처에 대한 다양한 방법과 방향을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 2019년 6월 1일부터 7월 30일까지 전라도 소재의 5개 대학교 작업치료학과에 재학 중인 학생 369명을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 대상자가 직접 설문지에 대답하게 하였다. 연구 결과 생활스트레스는 일반적 특성인 성별, 학년, 가족관계, 경제수준에서 차이를 보였으며, 스트레스 대처는 성별에서만 차이가 나타났다. 생활스트레스와 스트레스 대처는 유의한 상관관계를 보였고, 스트레스 대처의 하위영역인 정서 완화적 대처, 소망적사고 등의 소극적 대처와 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 생활스트레스의 하위영역 또한 스트레스 대처의 하위 영역과 유의미한 상관관계가 나타났다. 결론적으로 성공적인 대학생활, 더 나아가 사회생활에 잘 적응하기 위해서는 대학생활 동안의 생활스트레스를 감소시킬 수 있는 스트레스 대처 프로그램을 끊임없이 개발하고 적용 효과에 대한 후속 연구가 여러 방면으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.
