Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of stress, social support, and self-esteem on depression in female students. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 249 females students from November to December 2015. The study instruments comprised stress, social support, self-esteem, and depression. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchial multiple linear regression using SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Depression was closely related to school year(F=7.03, p<.001), health status(F=15.19, p<.001), major satisfaction(F=18.02, p<.001), and student activity(t=1.98, p=.049). The significant factors influencing depression were stress(${\beta}=.45$, p<.001), self-esteem(${\beta}=-.34$, p<.001), social support(${\beta}=-.14$, p=.004), major satisfaction(${\beta}=-.11$, p=.018). To decrease depression, it is necessary to develop a program coping with stress and increasing the self-esteem and social support. Thus, it will be able to enhance the mental health of female students.

본 연구는 여대생의 스트레스, 사회적 지지, 자아존중감이 우울에 미치는 영향에 대해 파악하고자 하였다. 2015년 11월부터 12월까지 여대생 249명으로부터 자기기입식 설문을 조사하였다. 연구도구는 스트레스, 사회적 지지, 자아존중감, 우울이었다. 자료분석은 SPSS/WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation 상관분석, 위계적 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과로 일반적 특성과 관련한 우울의 차이는 학년(F=7.03, p<.001), 건강상태(F=15.19, p<.001), 전공만족(F=18.02, p<.001), 동아리(t=1.98, p=.049)가 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 여대생의 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인은 스트레스(${\beta}=.45$, p<.001), 자아존중감(${\beta}=-.34$, p<.001), 사회적 지지(${\beta}=-.14$, p=.004), 전공만족(${\beta}=-.11$, p=.018) 순이었다. 우울을 낮추기 위해 스트레스에 대처하도록 하고 자아존중감이나 사회적 지지를 높일 수 있는 프로그램 개발이 필요하며, 이를 통해 여대생들의 정신건강을 증진시킬 수 있을 것이다.
