Abstract

This study was performed to identify the relationship between sense of humor, stress, and depression in the nursing students. Data were collected from the 20th of June to the 30th of June in 2015 from 227 nursing students in K university. The collected data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, kruscal-walis, pearson, spearman, and rank correlation coefficient. The result shows the sense of humor was significantly different between grade (t=-3.814, p <.001) and major satisfaction (${\chi}^2=12.070$, p=.007). The sense of humor was negatively correlated with living stress (r=-.237, p=.001), clinical based stress (r=-.182, p=.007), and with depression (r=-.238, p<.001). This data suggests that sense of humor is relevant in reducing the living stress and clinical based stress. These findings can provide the basis for the development of nursing intervention to increase the ability to cope with stress and depression.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 유머감각, 스트레스 및 우울 정도를 파악하고 유머감각, 스트레스 및 우울과의 관계를 규명하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 연구대상자는 K시 소재의 대학교 간호학과에 재학 중인 대학생 227명을 대상으로 설문지로 측정하였으며 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0을 사용하여 통계분석 하였다. 본 연구에서 간호대학생의 유머감각은 $79.63{\pm}8.96$, 생활차원 스트레스는 $2.70{\pm}0.62$, 임상스트레스는 $2.52{\pm}0.67$, 그리고 우울은 $17.05{\pm}8.90$이었다. 간호대학생의 유머감각은 생활스트레스 (r=-.237, p=.001), 임상스트레스 (r=-.182, p=.007), 그리고 우울 (r=-.238, p<.001)에서 모두 유의한 부적 상관관계를 나타냈다. 따라서 이러한 연구결과를 통해 간호 대학생의 유머감각이 스트레스와 우울에 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
