Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the empathy ability of nursing college students and prejudice and discriminatory behavior against the mentally ill and to analyze the relationship between them. The study included 281 nursing college students located on K province. Studies show that the empathy of nursing college students is positive for prejudice and discrimination behavior, negative correlation, prejudice and discriminatory behavior and that there are differences in empathy depending on whether they have experience in volunteer activities. Discriminatory behavior differed depending on the age and grade of the subjects. In order to reduce discriminatory behavior and prejudice among nursing college students, it will be necessary to increase direct and indirect experience opportunities to improve empathy and also to require systematic education and practical courses considering the characteristics of the subjects. This will contribute to improving the awareness and attitude of nursing college students as future professional nurses.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 공감능력과 정신질환자에 대한 편견 및 차별행동을 파악하고 이들 사이의 관련성을 분석하고자 시행되었다. 연구대상자는 K도에 위치한 2개 대학에 재학 중인 간호 대학생 281명이었다. 연구결과 간호대학생의 공감능력은 편견 및 차별행동과 음의 상관관계, 편견과 차별행동은 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 대상자의 봉사활동 경험 유무 등에 따라 공감능력에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 정신 질환자에 대한 차별행동은 대상자의 연령, 학년에 따라 차이가 있었다. 간호 대학생들의 차별행동 및 편견을 감소시키기 위해서는 공감능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 다양한 프로그램 등이 필요할 것이며 또한 대상자의 특성을 고려한 체계적인 교육 및 실습과정이 필요할 것이다. 이는 미래의 전문직 간호사로서 간호 대학생들의 인식 및 태도를 개선하는데 기여할 것으로 생각된다.
