Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of the clinical practice stress of nursing students to their clinical competence in an effort to provide some information of intervention. The subjects in this study were every junior and senior who earned all the necessary credits for clinical practice in a nursing college located in the province of G. The number of the selected students was 349. The collected data were analyzed by the statistical package SPSS WIN 18.0, and a structural inventory was utilized to grasp the general characteristics, clinical practice stress and clinical competence of the students. As a results, the students got a mean of $3.24{\pm}.61$ and $3.20{\pm}.41$ in self-perceived clinical practice stress and clinical competence respectively, which were both above the average, and the personal characteristics of their clinical practice stress had a statistically significant negative correlation to their clinical competence. Given the findings of the study, nursing education tailored to individual characteristics is required in association with clinical practice, and should be implemented to determine influential sociopsychological variables.

본 연구는 일개 간호대학생의 임상실습 스트레스에 따른 임상수행능력을 파악하여, 임상실습 스트레스를 줄이고 나아가서는 임상수행능력을 향상 시킬 수 있는 중재방안을 마련하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행된 조사연구이다. 본 연구는 G도에 위치한 일개 간호대학에서 임상실습 학점을 모두 이수한 3, 4학년 전수인 407명 가운데 연구에 동의한 349명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료로는 일반적 특성을 포함한 임상실습 스트레스와 임상수행능력을 측정할 수 있는 구조적 도구를 사용하여 SPSS WIN 18.0 program을 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 대상자가 인식하는 임상실습 스트레스의 정도는 평균 $3.24{\pm}.61$점, 임상수행능력은 $3.20{\pm}.41$점으로 측정되어 보통 이상이었으며, 임상실습 스트레스와 임상수행능력 총점에 서는 상관관계가 없는 것으로 보고되었으나, 임상실습 스트레스의 개인영역과 임상수행능력의 하위영역 사이에서는 통계적으로 유의한 역 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 임상실습에서 개인의 특성을 고려한 간호교육이 수행되어야 하며, 각 특성별 심리 사회적인 변인을 확인하는 연구가 요구된다.
