간호대학생의 자기연민이 대학생활 적응에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Objectives This study is a descriptive research study to identify the relationship between Self-compassion, perceived stress, and adjustment to college life in nursing students, and to understand their influence on adjustment to college life.
 Methods Data were collected through questionnaires administered to 161 nursing students belonging to two colleges located in S city and M city, from June 21 to July 20, 2022. The SPSS/22.0 program was used to analyze the data with descriptive statistics, t-test, Mann-Whitney test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, multiple regression.
 Results Nursing students scored 80.43 on Self-compassion, 18.33 on perceived stress, and 116.63 on adjustment to college life. Adjustment to college life had a significant positive correlation with Self-compassion (r=.47, p<.001). Among the sub-domains of college life adaptation, coping capacity showed a significant positive correlation with perceived stress (r=.18, p=.026). Among the general characteristics, the factors that showed a significant difference in college life adjustment (gender, character, leave of absence experience, department adjustment, interpersonal problems, major satisfaction) were input as control variables, and regression analysis was performed. As a result, Self-compassion (β=0.34, p<.001) was found to have a positive effect on adjustment to college life.
 Conclusions This study suggests that department adaptability and self-compassion are important factors in the adaptation of nursing students to college life. Therefore, a program to improve department adaptation and self-compassion should be developed to increase nursing students' college life adaptability.
