Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the need of character education perceived by nursing professors in nursing education. A cross-sectional study design was used. Data were collected from deans of nursing professors at 90 national nursing schools from January to March 2013. Nursing professors perceived that character education is very important ($4.53{\pm}0.62$) but the character level of nursing students is a little high ($3.57{\pm}0.74$). And they thought nursing students to be required character education lately to become a qualified nurse ($4.61{\pm}0.55$). The character education for nursing had to be included caring, manners, persistence, responsibility, respect, honesty, ethics, self-regulation and self-confidence. In conclusion character education program is needed in nursing education for fit to practice and have to be continuous during the undergraduate nursing program. It is required to develop the character education program structured and sustainable.

최근 전 교육과정에서 인성교육이 강조되고 있으며, 특히 간호학생들은 대상자 간호에 필요한 지식 기술과 함께 간호사로서 충분한 인성적 자질을 갖추어야 한다. 그러므로 본 연구는 간호 교육에서 인성교육의 필요성을 확인하는 것을 목적으로 하며, 간호교육의 주체자로서 전국 간호학과(부)에 재직하고 있는 간호학 교수들을 대상으로 간호교육에서 인성교육의 필요성에 대한 인식과 간호학생들에게 필요한 인성적 특성, 그리고 교육과정의 특성에 따른 간호학 교수들의 학생인성수준 인식정도의 차이를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 교수들은 학생들의 인성수준이 다소 높은 것으로 인식하고 있었으나 그 중요성과 필요성에 비해 현재 운영하고 있는 인성교육프로그램은 매우 부족하고, 학생들이 충분한 교육을 받을 기회도 적은 것으로 인식하였다. 또한 간호학생들에게 시급히 이루어져야 할 인성교육내용은 배려, 예절교육, 성실함, 책임감, 타인존중 등이며, 현재 정규교과과정 내 인성교육은 간호학 교수들의 학생 인성수준 인식에 차이를 일으킬 만큼 영향을 주지 못하였다. 그러나 학생들이 자발적으로 참여했던 봉사동아리, 주기적 인성특강이나 상담프로그램 등은 교수들의 학생 인성수준 인식에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 학생들이 자발적으로 참여할 수 있는 인성교육프로그램 개발전략을 수립할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
