Abstract

This is a descriptive study to investigate the relationship between social support, positive thinking and subjective happiness of nursing college students. Data collection was targeted to 140 nursing college students from 2nd, to 4th grade in two colleges in K area and the data collection period was from June 3, 2019, to July 9, 2019. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 21.0 program. The result of this study showed that the average degree of social support was 3.86 points, positive thinking was 3.52 points, subjective happiness was 4.68 points. Among the sub-domains of each variable, emotional support was the highest with 3.92 points in social support, and goal pursuit was the highest with 3.69 points in positive thinking. In addition, the highest score among the subjective happiness items was 'generally happy' with 4.92 points. The social support of nursing students showed a significant positive correlation with positive thinking(r=.48, p<.001) and subjective happiness(r=.49, p<.001). In addition, positive thinking also showed a significant positive correlation(r=.69, p<.001) with subjective happiness. Therefore, this study proposes the development of a program that can improve social support and positive thinking so as to improve the subjective happiness of nursing students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 사회적 지지, 긍정적 사고와 주관적 행복감 간의 관계를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료 수집은 K지역의 2개 대학 2학년부터 4학년까지의 간호대학생 140명을 대상으로 하였으며, 자료 수집 기간은 2019년 6월 3일부터 7월 9일까지 진행 되였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS(ver. 21.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과 대상자의 사회적 지지 정도는 3.86점, 긍정적 사고 정도는 3.52점, 주관적 행복감 정도는 4.68점이었다. 각 변수의 하위영역 중, 사회적 지지에서는 정서적 지지가 3.92점으로 가장 높았고, 긍정적 사고에서는 목표추구가 3.69점으로 가장 높았다. 또한 주관적 행복감 문항 중 가장 높은 점수는 '일반적으로 행복하다'가 4.92점으로 가장 높았다. 간호대학생의 사회적 지지는 긍정적 사고(r=.48, p<.001)와 주관적 행복감(r=.49, p<.001)에 유의한 정적 상관관계로 나타났다. 또한 긍정적 사고는 주관적 행복감과 유의한 정적 상관관계(r=.69, p<.001)를 보였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 간호대학생의 주관적 행복감을 증진시킬 수 있도록 사회적 지지와 긍정적 사고를 향상시킬 수 있는 프로그램 개발을 제안한다.
