Abstract

Nursing students, as prospective nurses, are expected to act as child abuse reporters and advocates for child targets. Therefore, this study aimed to provide a basis for developing a child abuse prevention education program for nursing students by determining the extent of nursing students' perceived target vulnerability and target advocacy, child rights awareness, and intention to report child abuse, and analyzing the relationships among the variables. This study is a descriptive survey study to identify the effects of target vulnerability, target advocacy, and child rights awareness on intention to report child abuse among 154 nursing students, and the data collection period was from July 3 to July 31, 2023, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 program. As a result of identifying the influential factors on nursing students' intention to report child abuse, child abuse education, championing social justice as a sub-variable of target advocacy, and target vulnerability, the explanatory power of these variables was 35.8%. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that it is necessary to increase activities through the development and application of simulation education based on actual clinical cases in order to increase nursing students' interest in and education about child abuse.

예비 간호사인 간호대학생은 아동학대 신고자로서의 역할을 수행하고, 아동대상자의 옹호역할을 해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 간호대학생이 인식하는 대상자 취약성 및 대상자 옹호, 아동권리인식, 아동학대 신고 의도의 정도를 확인하고 제 변수들 간의 관계를 분석하여 간호대학생을 위한 아동학대 예방 교육 프로그램 개발 시 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구는 간호대학생 154명을 대상으로 대상자 취약성, 대상자 옹호 및 아동권리 인식이 아동학대 신고 의도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사 연구로서 자료수집 기간은 2023년 7월 3일부터 7월 31일까지였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 25.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 간호대학생의 아동학대 신고 의도에 미치는 영향요인을 확인한 결과 아동학대 교육, 대상자 옹호의 하위 변수인 사회정의 옹호, 대상자 취약성으로 이들의 변수에 대한 설명력은 35.8%였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 간호대학생의 아동학대에 대한 관심과 교육 확대를 위해서는 실제 임상 사례를 바탕으로 한 시뮬레이션 교육의 개발 및 적용을 통한 활동을 증가시킬 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.
