Abstract

This study was a descriptive investigation of the effects of nursing students' major satisfaction and professor-student interaction on their adjustment to university life. For this investigation, data were collected from July 22 to August 15, 2017. The collection was made through a questionnaire survey of nursing students in their 1st or 2nd year at one of eight colleges or universities located in B Metropolitan City, U Metropolitan City and G City. Participants were informed of the purpose of the study and agreed to participate in it. Of all the questionnaire sheets collected after the survey, those filled in by 205 participants were finally used for analysis here, with those by others excluded because they were considered to have been inappropriately filled out. The findings of this study can be summarized as follows. Nursing students surveyed in the study were significantly different from one another with respect to adjustment to university life depending on grade, health status, interpersonal relationships, desired career, academic achievement and family life level. Moreover, nursing students who had higher satisfaction with their major and more interactions with their professors were likely to adjust better to university life. In addition, regression analysis revealed that the nursing students' satisfaction with their major had the biggest effect on their adjustment to university life. Taken together, the results suggest that nursing students in their 1st or 2nd year of school should continue to be provided with curricular or extracurricular programs designed to improve their major satisfaction and that they should be given opportunities for communication with or counseling from their advisors or other nursing professors from the onset of university life.

본 연구는 간호학과 학생들의 전공만족도와 교수-학생 상호작용이 대학생활적응에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구의 자료 수집 기간은 2017년 7월 22일부터 8월 15일까지 실시하였으며, 본 연구를 위한 자료수집은 B광역시, U광역시, G시 소재 8개 대학의 간호학과 1, 2학년 학생 중 연구목적을 이해하고 자발적으로 연구 참여에 동의한 학생 중 부적절한 응답을 제외한 205명의 설문지를 분석하였다. 연구결과로 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 대학생활적응 정도는 학년, 건강상태, 대인관계. 희망진로, 학교성적, 가정생활정도에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었고, 전공만족도가 높고, 교수-학생 상호작용이 높을수록 대학생활적응이 높음을 알 수 있었다. 회귀분석 결과 전공만족도가 대학생활적응에 가장 높은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 저학년들이 간호대학생으로의 전공에 대한 만족을 향상시킬 수 있는 교과내외의 프로그램을 지속적으로 적용하고, 입학시부터 지도교수나 교과담당교수진과의 다양한 의사소통이나 상담의 기회를 제공하도록 하여야 할 것이다.
