Abstract
This is a descriptive study to investigate the relationship between social support, positive thinking and subjective happiness of nursing college students. Data collection was targeted to 140 nursing college students from 2nd, to 4th grade in two colleges in K area and the data collection period was from June 3, 2019, to July 9, 2019. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 21.0 program. The result of this study showed that the average degree of social support was 3.86 points, positive thinking was 3.52 points, subjective happiness was 4.68 points. Among the sub-domains of each variable, emotional support was the highest with 3.92 points in social support, and goal pursuit was the highest with 3.69 points in positive thinking. In addition, the highest score among the subjective happiness items was 'generally happy' with 4.92 points. The social support of nursing students showed a significant positive correlation with positive thinking(r=.48, p<.001) and subjective happiness(r=.49, p<.001). In addition, positive thinking also showed a significant positive correlation(r=.69, p<.001) with subjective happiness. Therefore, this study proposes the development of a program that can improve social support and positive thinking so as to improve the subjective happiness of nursing students.
