본 연구는 간호대학생의 임상실습 전, 스트레스, 불안 및 자아탄력성과의 관계를 분석하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 첫 임상실습을 앞둔 K대학 간호학과 2학년 학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 임상실습 전 스트레스는 여학생에게서 높게 나타났으며(t=-5.51, p<.001), 불안은 여학생이 남학생보다(t=-3.30, p=.001), 주관적 건강상태가 나쁘다고 느낄수록(F=3.27, p=.041), 성격이 내성적일수록(t=-3.32, p=.001), 전공만족도가 낮을수록(F=7.25, p=.001) 높게 나타났다. 자아탄력성은 건강상태가 좋다고 느낄수록(F=3.74, p=.026), 성격이 외향적일수록(t=3.19, p=.002) 높게 나타났다. 또한 임상실습 스트레스, 불안 및 자아탄력성과의 상관관계에서 임상실습 전 스트레스와 불안과는 양의 상관관계가 있었으며(r=.211, p=.010), 자아탄력성과 불안은 음의 상관관계(r=-.313, p<.001)가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 토대로 간호대학생의 자아탄력성을 향상시키기 위해 실습 전, 불안을 감소시킬 수 있는 역량프로그램 개발이 필요하리라 생각된다.
This study is a descriptive research study for analyzing the relevance among stress, anxiety, and ego-resilience in nursing college students before clinical practice. The survey was conducted targeting the second-year students in a K college who were anticipating their first clinical practice. The survey result showed that female students showed higher stress levels than male students (t=-5.51, p<.001) before clinical practice. Female students also showed higher anxiety levels than male students (t=-3.30, p=.001) before clinical practice. The students showed higher anxiety levels before clinical practice as they felt more strongly that they were in bad health (F=3.27, p=.041), as their personality was less outgoing (t=-3.32, p=.001), and as they had a lower satisfaction level in their major (F=7.25, p=.001). The students showed higher ego-resilience levels before clinical practice as they felt more strongly that they were in good health (F=3.74, p=.026) and as their personality was more outgoing (F=3.19, p=.002). The stress and anxiety levels before clinical practice also had a positive correlation (r=.211, p=.010) and the ego-resilience and anxiety before clinical practice had a negative correlation (r=-.313, p<.001). Based on the finding, it is necessary to develop the competence improvement program that can reduce the anxiety of nursing college students before clinical practice in order to improve their ego-resilience.
