Abstract

This is a descriptive survey research aimed at investigating the level of digital literacy and verifying the impact of digital literacy and academic self-efficacy on problem solving in nursing students, with fousing on digital literacy, which is emerging in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Data were collected between April and May 2022 from 118 nursing students at a university located in K City, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, two-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression with the SPSS 18.0 program. The results showed that nursing students generally have good digital literacy, but they struggle with specific areas like material development and information evaluation. Nursing students' digital literacy (β=.311, p=.001), followed by academic self-efficacy (β=.184, p=.048), had a significant impact on problem-solving ability (F=12.237, p< .001), as explanaing 16.1% of the variation. To improve nursing students' digital literacy and problem solving, developing a more structured and situation-oriented nursing education curriculum is needed.

본 연구는 4차 산업혁명시대에 대두되고 있는 디지털 리터러시를 중심으로 간호대학생의 디지털 리터러시의 수준을 파악하고, 디지털 리터러시와 학업적 자기효능감이 문제해결능력에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 수행된 서술적 조사연구이다. K시에 소재한 일 대학의 간호대학생 118명을 대상으로 2022년 4월부터 5월 사이에 자료수집을 하였고, SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, 독립표본 t검정, 일원분산분석 및 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 간호대학생의 디지털 리터러시는 비교적 높은 수준이었으나, 정보개발, 정보평가의 하위영역이 낮게 나타났다. 간호대학생의 디지털 리터러시(β=.311, p=.001), 학업적 자기효능감(β=.184, p=.048) 순으로 문제해결능력에 유의한 영향을 미쳤고(F=12.237, p<.001), 설명력은 16.1%이었다. 간호대학생의 디지털 리터러시 역량 증진을 위해 보다 체계적인 상황 중심의 간호교육 커리큘럼의 개발이 필요하며, 이를 통해 더욱 효과적으로 문제해결능력 함양이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
