간호대학생의 건강증진행위와 정신적 웰빙

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate levels of health promotion behavior and mental well-being and to analyze the factors affecting mental well-being in nursing students.

Methods: A total of 164 nursing students participated in the study. Data were analyzed by frequencies, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS 25.0 software.

Results: The mean scores for health promotion behavior and mental well-being were found to be above and below average, respectively. There were significant mean differences in health promotion behavior and mental well-being according to satisfaction with major and perceived physical health status. Health promotion behavior positively correlated with mental well-being. The significant predictors of mental well-being included self-actualization, stress management, and exercise of health promotion behavior. The regression model explained 49.1% of mental well-being.

Conclusion: Improving self-actualization capability and stress management skills and developing a habit of regular exercise will increase mental well-being among nursing students.
