Abstract

This study identified the relationship between academic stress and hopelessness among female high school students. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 334 female high school students located in D-city during the period from August 20, 2018 to September 20, 2018. As a result, the distribution of the level of hopelessness among those surveyed was 61.6% for the normal range group, 23.1% for the mild range group, 12.9% for the moderate range group, and 2.4% for the severe range group. The level of hopelessness, according to the academic stress of the study subjects, was significantly higher in the higher academic stress group than that in the lower academic stress group (p=0.000). Hopelessness also showed significant positive correlation with academic stress (r=0.371, p<0.01). The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that the risk ratio of hopelessness was significantly increased 9.27 times in the higher academic stress group when compared to that in the lower academic stress group. According to the multiple regression analysis, the significant variables affecting hopelessness were satisfaction with school life, conversation with parents, eating regularly, stress due to tests, stress due to studies and stress about career paths. Given the above results, the hopelessness of female high school students is significantly related to academic stress. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and implement programs that can properly control academic stress factors.

본 연구는 일부 여자고등학생들의 학업스트레스와 절망감과의 관련성을 파악하고자 시도하였다. 조사대상은 D광역시에 소재하고 있는 인문계 여자고등학교 학생 334명으로 하였으며, 조사는 2018년 8월 20일부터 9월 20일까지 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사에 의하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 절망감 수준의 분포는 「정상범위군」 61.6%, 「경도 절망감군」 23.1%, 「중등도 절망감군」 12.9%, 「중증 절망감군」 2.4%이었다. 조사대상자의 절망감은 학업스트레스가 낮은 군보다 높은 군에서 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났으며(p=0.000), 학업스트레스와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.371, p<0.01). 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 절망감이 나타날 위험비는 학업스트레스 총점이 낮은 군에 비해 높은 군에서 9.27배 유의하게 증가하였다. 다중회귀분석 결과, 절망감에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 학교생활에 대한 만족도, 부모와의 대화여부, 규칙적 식사 여부, 시험에 대한 스트레스, 공부에 대한 스트레스 및 진로에 대한 스트레스가 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 이상과 같은 연구결과를 볼 때, 여자고등학생들의 절망감은 학업스트레스와 유의한 관련이 있음을 시사하고 있다. 따라서 학업스트레스 요인을 적절하게 통제할 수 있는 프로그램의 개발 및 운영이 필요하다고 본다.
