Abstract

This study examined the effects of emotional clarity and empathic ability on interpersonal competence among nursing college students. The subjects included college students in some provinces. The research period was November and December 2019. Two hundred and eighty five students were analyzed. The data collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The findings show that empathy (β=.551, p<.001), emotional clarity (β=.288, p<.001), and satisfaction with college life (β=.092, p<.001) had significant effects on interpersonal competence with an explanatory power of 47.4%. Interpersonal competence had significant positive correlations with empathy (r=.641, p<.001) and emotional clarity (r=.443, p<.001). Therefore, it is important to reinforce the development and application of customized individual counseling programs designed to enhance empathy. This encourages nursing college students to understand emotional clarity, which helps them recognize others' emotions as well as their own and make proper reactions. Accordingly, satisfaction with college life, which adds more vitality to their college life, will increase the interpersonal competence of nursing college students. In the future, repeating and in-depth research should be conducted to include emotional and psychological factors of interpersonal competence. A standardized research tool will be needed to measure interpersonal competence.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 정서인식명확성, 공감능력이 대인관계 유능성에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 C도 지역 일부 간호대학생을 대상으로 하였으며, 연구기간은 2019년 11월부터 2019년 12월까지이었고, 분석대상은 285명 이었다. 자료는 기술적 통계, t-tset, ANOVA, Pearson correlation과 Stepwise multiple regression으로 분석 하였다. 그 결과 대인관계 유능성에 영향을 미치는 요인은 공감능력(β=.551, p<.001), 정서인식명확성(β=.288, p<.001), 대학생활만족도(β=.092, p<.001)가 대인관계 유능성에 유의한 영향을 미치며 설명력은 47.4%이었다. 대인관계 유능성과의 상관관계에서는 공감능력(r=.641, p<.001), 정서인식명확성(r=.443, p<.001)과 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 간호대학생의 대인관계 유능성을 높이기 위해서는 공감능력과 자신의 감정과 타인의 감정을 잘 인식 하여 적절히 대처할 수 있는 정서인식명확성, 대학생활을 활기 있게 해주고 대학생활만족도를 높일 수 있는 맞춤형 개별상담 프로그램 개발 및 적용을 강화하는 것이 필요하다고 하겠다. 추후 본 연구 결과를 토대로 대인관계 유능성에 대한 정서적 요인과 심리적 요인을 포함한 반복 및 심층 연구가 필요하며, 또한 대인관계 유능성을 측정하기 위해 표준화된 연구도구를 개발할 필요가 있다고 생각한다.
