간호대학생의 정신장애인에 대한 차별행동 영향요인

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore factors associated with the discriminatory behavior toward mentally disabled people in the nursing students. Research objects are 286 students of department of nursing. Collected data were analyzed independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Linear Regression by IBM SPSS 21.0 for window program. As a result, affecting factors to the discriminatory behaviors of nursing students toward mentally disabled people were social restrictiveness, extortion of social fundamental rights, community mental health ideology, interpersonal social distancing, interpersonal physical distancing and authoritarianism. The experience of psychiatric nursing practice has led to positive changes in the interpersonal social distancing toward the mentally disabled, but it had negative impact for discrimination behavior. To reduce the discrimination behavior toward mentally disabled people, we should provide opportunities for accurate theoretical knowledge acquisition before the psychiatric nursing practice, and an opportunity to correct false perceptions should be provided by taking time to exchange feelings for the mentally disabled before and after mental nursing practice. Furthermore it necessary to design the curriculum so that systematic practice can take not only in hospitals but also in various institutions such as social return facilities.
