Abstract

다양한 정신건강 문제를 가지고 있는 대학생의 자아탄력성, 자아존중감 및 사회적 지지 등이 정신건강증진에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 편의 추출된 G 광역시 소재 4개 대학교 학생 957명을 대상으로 2013년 10월 15일부터 22일까지 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. t-검정, 분산분석, 상관분석 그리고 위계적 다중 회귀분석 등을 실시하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다.

대학생의 정신건강증진은 자아탄력성(p=.000)과 자아존중감(p=.013)이 높을수록 유의하게 증가하였으며, 사회적 지지는 유의한 관련이 없었다(p=.206). 음주력에 있어서는 과거음주군이 비음주군에 비해 유의하게 높았으며(p=.034), 학년에 따라서는 3학년이 1학년에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p=.000).

결론적으로 대학생의 정신건강증진은 자아탄력성 및 자아존중감과 유의한 관련이 있어 대학생의 정신건강증진을 위해서는 자아탄력성과 자아존중감을 높일 수 있는 다양한 방안이 개발되고 시행되어야 할 것으로 판단한다.|Background : In Korea, college students have had many mental problems leading to final suicide. Hence, the problem of mental health for college students must be solved and promoted.

Responding papers with nine hundred and fifty seven persons (95.7% retrieval rate) except forty three persons lack of proper answer were analysed from Oct. 15 to 22, 2013. Statistical analysis used were the regression coefficient, t-test, ANOVA, its mutual relation and the correction of variables which shown a significance in the simple analysis. Statistical significance was p>.05.

Results : Mental health of college students promoted significantly in the higher level of ego-resilience(p=<.001) and self-esteem(p=.013). However, it had no relationship between social support and the increase in the mental health(p=.206). Students with the drinking experience during the past years(p=.034) had the more effects of mental health promotion than the persons who did not drink. And college students in the third grade had the more effects of mental health promotion compared with the persons in the first grade(p=<.001).
