본 연구는 간호대학생의 대학생활과 임상실습 중에 경험하게 되는 스트레스와 우울정도를 파악하고, 스트레스를 감소시킬 수 있는 대체 가능한 중재방안을 모색할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 수행된 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 K광역시와 S시에 위치한 3개의 3년제 간호과에 재학중인 2,3학년 562명이다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 스트레스는 학년(t=3.681, p=.000), 연령(t=3.063, p=.002), 용돈(F=6.398, p=.000), 학업성적(F=6.001, p=.003), 성격(t=-4.857, p=.000), 식사시간(t=-2.310, p=.021), 주관적 건강상태(F=18.083, p=.000), 외모에 대한 만족도(F=7.088, p=.001) 등에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었고, 우울정도는 학업성적(F=8.643, p=.000), 성격(t=-6.541, p=.000), 식사시간(t=-4.272, p=.000), 주관적 건강상태(F=35.263, p=.000), 외모에 대한 만족도(F=4.120, p=.017) 등에서 통계적으로 각각 유의한 차이가 있었다. 스트레스와 우울정도 간에는 유의한 순상관관계(r=.456, p=.000)가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 간호대학생의 스트레스와 우울을 본 연구의 결과와 선행연구를 바탕으로 논의하였다.
