Abstract
This descriptive study investigated the factors influencing on subjective happiness of senior nursing students. The participants were 235 nursing students in grades 3 and 4 in K city from May 1, 2019 to May 28, 2019. The data was collected using self-report questionnaires that contained items on subjective happiness, professional intuition, human relationship, major satisfaction, family health, and social support scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with the SPSS 22.0 program. The subjective happiness of the subjects averaged 4.75±1.16 on the 7-point scale, and the subjective happiness according to the general characteristics of the subjects showed a significant difference in health status (F=6.826, p<.001). The most influential factors on the subjects' subjective happiness were health status (β=.177 p=.005), academic satisfaction (β=.138, p=.027), and family health (β=.268, p<.001), and the explanatory power of the model was 16.7% (F=15.160, p<.001). The results of this study may provide a foundation to develop an efficient intervention program to improve the happiness of senior nursing students.
