Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of self-awareness, recognition of others, and adaptation to college life of dental hygiene students, and to identify the factors affecting college life adjustment. Methods: The effect size was calculated using the G*power 3.1.9.4 program, based on the data of 191 people who agreed to participate in the questionnaire. Independent samples t-test, one way ANOVA, Post HOC Scheffe, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted to explore the difference and correlation between self-awareness, perception of others, and college life adjustment according to general characteristics. Results: A significant positive correlation was found in self-awareness (r=.301). The highest positive correlations were with social adjustment in both private (r=.340) and public self-awareness (r=.331) (p<0.01). Recognition of others (r=-.051) showed a negative correlation with college life adjustment, though it was not statistically significant. As factors for adapting to college life, private self-awareness (β=.232) and public self-awareness (β=.254) had a positive (+) effect, and internal self-awareness (β=-.205) was found to have a negative (-) effect (p<0.01) Conclusion: The self-awareness and recognition of others among dental hygiene students influence their smooth adjustment to college life. Improvement measures are recommended to enhance adaptability to college life and develop core competencies related to their major

연구배경: 치위생과 학생들의 자아인식과 타인인식, 대학생활 적응 정도를 알아보고 대학생활 적응에 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 한다. 연구방법: 치위생과 재학생 191명을 대상으로 설문조사에 동의를 구하고 G*power 3.1.9.4 program으로 효과 크기를 산출하였다. 일반적 특성에 따른 자기인식, 타인인식, 대학생활적응의 차이와 상관관계 및 대학생활 적응에 영향요인을 알아보기 위해 독립 표본 t-test 및 일원 배치 분산분석, 사후분석 scheffe, 상관분석과 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과: 대학생활 적응은 자기인식(r=.301)에서 유의한 정(+)의 상관관계가 나타났고, 하위 요인과의 관련성은 사회적 적응과 사적 자기인식(r=.340), 공적 자기인식(r=.331)에서 가장 높은 정(+)의 상관관계가 나타났다(p<0.01). 타인인식(r=-.051)은 대학생활 적응과 부(-)의 관련성을 보였으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 대학생활 적응 요인으로는 사적 자기인식(β=.232)과 공적 자기인식(β=.254)이 정(+)의 영향을 주었고, 내적 타인인식(β=-.205)이 부(-)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01) 결론: 치위생과 학생들의 자기인식과 타인인식은 원만한 대학생활 적응에 영향요인으로 대학 생활의 적응력과 전공 직무와 연계한 핵심 역량 배양을 위해 향상 방안이 고려되어야 할 것이다.
