Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effects of optometry majors’ stress coping style for performing various jobs in clinical (on-the-job) training on their satisfaction with clinical (on-the-job) training and confirm the mediating effects of problem-solving ability on the association between stress coping style and clinical (on-the-job) training satisfaction.
Methods: A survey was conducted in 158 juniors and seniors majoring in optometry in Daegu, who had completed clinical training. Correlation analysis was performed to determine associations among stress coping style, problem-solving ability, and clinical (on-the-job) training satisfaction, and hierarchical regression analysis and mediating effect test were carried out to determine the mediating effects of problem-solving ability on the association between stress coping style and clinical (on-the-job) training satisfaction.
Results: Significant positive correlation was found among active coping, problem-solving ability, and clinical (on-the-job) training satisfaction (p<0.01), and passive coping was low but significantly negatively correlated with personal control among the sub-factors for problem-solving ability (p<0.01). Self-confidence among the sub-factors for problem-solving ability was positively correlated with approach-avoidance (p<0.01), personal control (p<0.05), and the sub-factors (p<0.01) for clinical (onthe-job) training satisfaction. Compared with the impact of active coping style on clinical (on-the-job) training satisfaction (β=0.618, p<0.01), the direct effects of active coping style (β=0.491, p<0.01) decreased, with problemsolving ability controlled; therefore, it met the conditions for mediating effects, and was statistically significant.
Conclusions: Stress coping and problem-solving ability positively affected clinical (on-the-job) training satisfaction. In particular, positive stress coping had its association with clinical (on-the-job) training satisfaction mediated by problem-solving ability. It is therefore necessary to develop teaching-learning methods of cultivating positive attitude toward stress coping and problem-solving ability within curriculums so that optometry majors can positively cope with stress during clinical (on-the-job) training.
