Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the factors that affect subjective well-being in nursing students. Methods: A total of 236 nursing students participated in the study. Data was collected from November through December 2013 using a self-reporting questionnaire that surveyed the level of gratitude, interpersonal relationship ability, subjective happiness, and life satisfaction. Data was analyzed by descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results: Subjective happiness positively correlated with gratitude (r=.41, p<.001) and interpersonal relationship ability (r=.55, p<.001). Life satisfaction positively correlated with gratitude (r=.53, p<.001) and interpersonal relationship ability (r=.37, p<.001). Significant predictors of subjective happiness included gratitude (${\beta}=.38$, p<.001), interpersonal relationship ability (${\beta}=.28$, p<.001) and major satisfaction (${\beta}=.17$, p=.002). The regression model explained 39.3% of subjective happiness. Significant predictors of life satisfaction included gratitude (${\beta}=.42$, p<.001), academic achievement (${\beta}=.15$, p=.006), interpersonal relationship ability (${\beta}=.16$, p=.008) and major satisfaction (${\beta}=.12$, p=.035). The regression model explained 35.3% of life satisfaction. Conclusion: To improve subjective well-being among nursing students, nurse educators should develop educational intervention programs to promote gratitude and interpersonal relationships.
