목적: 본 연구는 안경광학과 학생들의 정신건강에 미치는 요인을 성별에 따라 분석하여 학생 생활지도 및 진로지도에 좀 더 차별화된 도움을 주고자한다.
방법: 충청지역 안경광학과 학생 132명을 대상으로 한 설문지를 분석하였으며, 성별에 따라 정신건강을 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구는 SCL-90-R의 설문지를 사용하였으며, 모든 통계는 SPSS 18.0을 사용하여 유의수준은 p<0.05로 통계 처리하였다.
결과: 안경광학과 학생들은 신체화 22.7%, 강박증 28.3%, 적대감 12.8%로 정신건강에 문제가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 우울증과 편집증의 경우 27.7%와 10.2%, 대인 예민증, 정신증, 공포증, 불안증은 각각 14.7%, 10.4%, 5.9%, 17.4%로 높은 수치를 나타내었다.
결론: 안경광학과의 학생들의 약 28.7%에서 부정적인 정신건강으로 신체화, 강박증, 적대감을 느끼고 있었으며, 모든 변수에서 여학생이 남학생보다 상대적으로 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 이에 차별화된 성별에 따른 학생 상담과 생활 지도가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
