Abstract

College students face serious difficulties while seeking jobs, leading to a high degree of stress, which is thought to affect their attitude towards smoking. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between hardiness, job-seeking stress, and the attitude towards smoking among students, and to further identify the factors influencing smoking attitude. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered to 145 students. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS program, t-test, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Smokers constituted 22.1% of the sample. The study showed that smoking attitudes varied according to the smoking status (H=28.26, p<.001). The smoking attitude was seen to be desirable in the high group (t=-3.27, p=.001) and low job-seeking stress group (t=4.40, p<.001). There was a positive correlation between hardiness and smoking attitude (r=.18, p=.028). There was a negative correlation between job-seeking stress and smoking attitude (r=-.28, p=.001). Also, the factors affecting the smoking attitude were non-smoker respondent (β=.50, p<.001), job-seeking stress (β=-.23, p=.015), former smoker respondent (β=.22, p=.016) and the explanatory power was 24.3%. Therefore, school and health public center counseling and employment support programs need to help students manage and cope with stressful situations to change their attitude towards smoking in a desirable direction.

대학생들의 취업난이 심각한 상황에서 대학생들은 취업 스트레스를 많이 받을 것으로 생각되며, 이는 흡연태도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구는 남자 대학생의 강인성 및 취업스트레스와 흡연태도와의 관련성을 확인하고 흡연태도의 영향요인을 확인하기 위하여 시도되었다. 일부 지역의 남자 대학생 145명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하였으며, t-test, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficients, 위계적 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 연구 결과 현재 흡연자인 남자 대학생은 22.1%였으며, 대상자의 흡연상태에 따라 흡연태도는 유의한 차이를 보였다(H=28.26, p<.001). 대상자의 강인성 점수가 높은 군(t=-3.27, p=.001)과 취업스트레스가 낮은 군(t=4.40, p<.001)에서 흡연태도가 바람직하게 나타났다. 강인성과 흡연태도는 양의 상관관계를 보였으며(r=.18, p=.028), 취업스트레스와 흡연태도는 음의 상관관계를 보였다(r=-.28, p=.001). 또한, 대상자의 흡연태도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 비흡연자(β=.50, p<.001), 취업스트레스(β=-.23, p=.015), 과거흡연자(β=.22, p=.016)로 나타났으며, 설명력은 24.3%였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 학교와 보건소 등을 통한 상담이나 취업지원 프로그램을 통해 스트레스 상황을 능동적으로 조절하고 대처할 수 있도록 돕는 것이 남자 대학생의 흡연태도를 바람직한 방향으로 변화시킬 수 있을 것이다.
