An attempt was made to determine characteristic aspects of mental and physical health of nursing college students in the capital city of Korea by using the Cornell Medical Index. The study has been made from September to November in 1976 : CMI was given to 759 nursing college students (358 4th year and. 401 1st year) and 824 other (non-nursing) college girls in Seoul. The groups were statistically compared and showed following results:
1) The 4th year nursing college group had mean score of 37.84 while 4th year non-nursing college girls had 41.40 and 1st year nursing college girls had mean score of 40.14. It is noticeable that 4th year nursing students had lower score than control group.
2) There was little difference in physical complaints but considerable in mental. The mean score of mental complaints among 4th year nursing college students was 13.29 while the control group had mean score of 15.24. The: 1st year nursing students showed mean score of 15.70.
3) Considering the mean score there were big differences in items E, G, J, N, O, Q,R, between the 4th year nursing students and 4th year of non-nursing students; and also 4th year nursing students and 1st year nursing students had differences items H,M,N,P,Q.
4) In the Item analysis, the items, D, M, G, A, Q, H had higher score proportionally among the 4th year students (both nursing and others).
The first year of nursing students had higher mean score on the items M, D, G, Q, A, B. And also the first year of non-nursing students had higher
mean score on the item M, D, G, A, Q, B
5) Through the mean score of general health evaluation of 4th year of nursing students, one can find following: to study medicine can bring a lot of change in terms of health care, both physical and mental. The fact that non-nursing students, who have not studied medicine had higher mean score shows
a strong need of renovation of school health care system (especially mental) in non-nursing colleges.
