본 연구는 간호대학생의 MBTI 성격유형을 4가지 선호지표로 나누어 각각의 선호경향에 따른 자기효능감과 스트레스 대처방식간의 차이를 규명하고, 스트레스 대처방식에 미치는 영향을 탐색하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구도구는 한국형 MBTI 성격유형검사와 자기효능감, 스트레스 대처방식 측정도구를 이용하였으며, 총 135부의 자료를 기술통계와 t검정, 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 간호대학생의 MBTI 선호지표에 따른 자기효능감의 차이에서는 외향형이 내향형보다 사회적 자기효능감과 일반적 자기효능감이 모두 높았고, 사고형이 감정형보다 일반적 자기효능감이 높은 것으로 나타났다. MBTI 선호지표에 따른 스트레스 대처방식의 차이에서는 외향형이 내향형보다 사회적 지지추구 대처와 능동적 문제해결 대처에서 모두 높아 문제중심 대처를 많이 하는 것으로 나타났고, 사고형과 판단형도 감각형과 인식형보다 능동적 문제해결 대처를 더 많이 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 내향형은 외향형보다 소망적 사고대처가 높고, 감정형은 사고형보다 소망적 사고대처와 정서적 완화대처에서 모두 높아 정서중심 대처를 많이 하는 것으로 나타났다. 간호대학생의 스트레스 대처방식에 대한 MBTI 선호성과 자기효능감의 설명력은 능동적 문제해결 대처에서 가장 높았고(30.6%), 판단형 선호성과 일반적 자기효능감이 능동적 문제해결 대처의 유의한 예측요인으로 나타났으며, 사회적 자기효능감이 사회적 지지추구 대처의 예측요인이며, 내향형 선호성이 소망적 사고 대처의 예측요인인 것과 감정형 선호성이 정서적 완화 대처의 유의한 예측요인임이 각각 밝혀졌다. 본 연구는 간호대학생의 개인적 특성인 성격유형 및 자기효능감이 스트레스 대처방식에 미치는 영향력에 대한 의미있는 결과를 제공함으로써 스트레스 관리 및 중재프로그램 개발과 연구의 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다는 데 그 의의가 있다.
