Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the stress, social support, and happiness in undergraduate nursing students who experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify factors affecting happiness. The survey was conducted from December 18, 2022 to January 5, 2023. The subjects were 195 first and second grades nursing students attending two universities located in G city. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Games-Howell test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression. Statistically, happiness showed a significantly negative correlation stress(r=-.17, p=.017) and positive correlation with social support(r=.68, p<.001). Influencing factors on happiness were social support(β=.63, p<.001) and department satisfaction(β =.30, p<.001) accounting for 49.7% of the total change. In order to improve the happiness of nursing students based on the results of this study, strategies and programs that can increase social support and department satisfaction are needed.

본 연구의 목적은 COVID-19 팬데믹을 경험한 저학년 간호대학생의 스트레스와 사회적 지지, 행복감의 관계를 확인하고 행복감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하고자 함이다. 2022년 12월 18일부터 2023년 01월 5일까지 G시 소재 두 개 대학에 재학 중인 간호대학생 1학년과 2학년 195명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료분석은 t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, GamesHowell test, Pearson's correlation, multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 행복감은 스트레스(r=-.17, p=.017)와 유의한 음의 상관관계를 나타냈고 사회적 지지(r=.68, p<.001)와는 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 행복감에 대한 영향요인은 사회적 지지(β=.63, p<.001), 학과 만족도(β=-.13, p=.015) 순으로 총 변화량의 49.7%를 설명하였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 간호대학생의 행복감을 향상시키기 위해서는 사회적 지지와 학과만족도를 높일 수 있는 전략과 프로그램이 필요하다.
