Abstract

This study attempted to survey nursing students' motives for choosing nursing as their major, and to examine how such motives affect their satisfaction with their major, campus-life satisfaction, and self-directed learning ability. This study was conducted as a descriptive survey. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire during the period from the 1st to 15th of April, 2015, and the questionnaires from 195 nursing students were used in the analysis using Fisher's exact test, t-test, one way ANOVA, Mann Whitney test, and ANCOVA. Only 41.5% of the nursing students chose nursing as their major because of their aptitude and interest. The motive for the selection of the major was found to have a significant effect on their satisfaction with the major (p<.001), campus-life satisfaction (p=.008), and self-directed learning ability (p=.001). Middle and high school students should be provided with various types of information on nursing, so that they can have the opportunity to choose nursing based on their aptitude and interest before entering university. Once they start university, nursing students' adjustment to campus-life and learning ability should be enhanced through various extracurricular activity programs in order to stimulate their interest in the major.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 전공선택동기가 전공만족도, 대학생활만족도 및 자기주도 학습능력에 미치는 영향력을 확인하기 위해 시행된 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구에서는 자가보고식 설문지를 이용하여 2015년 4월 1일부터 15일까지 195명의 간호대학생으로부터 자료를 수집하였으며, Fisher's exact test, t-test, one way ANOVA, Mann Whitney test와 ANCOVA를 이용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 단지 41.5%의 간호대학생 만이 적성 또는 흥미를 이유로 간호학을 선택하였으며, 과반수인 58.5%의 간호대학생이 취업 전망과 고등학교 성적을 이유로 간호학을 선택하였다. 그리고 전공선택동기는 전공만족도(p<.001), 대학생활만족도(p=.008), 자기주도 학습능력(p=.001)에 유의한 영향요인으로 작용하였는데, 적성 또는 흥미로 전공을 선택한 그룹이 취업 전망으로 전공을 선택한 그룹보다 전공만족도 0.25배, 대학생활만족도 0.52배, 자기주도 학습능력 0.26배 높게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로, 대학 입학 전 중고등학생들의 진로 지도를 위한 보다 전문적인 진로교육프로그램 개발 및 활용과 대학 입학 후 간호대학생의 대학생활 적응을 돕기 위한 전공선택동기에 따른 맞춤형 개별 상담프로그램 및 대학생활 적응 프로그램을 개발 및 적용을 제언하는 바이다.
