Abstract
In an attempt to provide basic information for the development of programs geared toward facilitating college adjustment of nursing students, this study was undertaken to verify the meaning of life, empathy skills and resilience, as factors affecting the adjustment of nursing students to college and factors influencing relationships of the variables. Between March 1 to April 30, 2019, 531 nursing students in two different colleges located in Gyeonggi Province were enrolled to undertake a survey. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, t-tests, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression. Results reveal that the meaning of life had a significant positive correlation with empathy skills, resilience and the degree of college adjustment. It was also ascertained that college adjustment was better when the meaning of life, empathy skills and resilience were greater. Factors affecting college adjustment include gender, grade, education at admission, health status, major satisfaction, stress, family economy, meaning of life and resilience; these variables had a 44.8% explain ability of college adjustment. Considering the findings of this study, we propose that sustained education and program development are required to enhance the meaning of life, empathy skills and resilience of college students to ensure their successful college adjustment.
