Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether job-seeking stress, career decision-making self-efficacy, self-esteem, and academic achievement had an influence on nursing students" happiness.
Methods: The participants were 147 nursing students in D city. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 19.0 using ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression.
Results: Factors that had an influence on happiness included major satisfaction(highly unsatisfied β=-.251, p =.001), average monthly family income(between four and six million won β=.222, p=.002), career decision-making self-efficacy(β=.198, p=.010), major satisfaction(satisfied β=.196, p=.006), and subjective health(unhealthy β =-.167, p=.020). These factors explained 33.5% of the variance in student happiness.
Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that career decision-making self-efficacy, self-esteem, major satisfaction, and job-seeking stress were important intrinsic factors in the happiness of nursing students. Thus, it is necessary to help these students attain more self-efficacy, self-esteem, and major satisfaction rather than focusing on academic achievement in order to increase their happiness.
