Purpose : The purpose of this study was to understand the correlations between life stress, sleep quality, and mental health in nursing college students.
Method : This study was conducted on 315 nursing college students in B City between April 1stand30th, 2017. The collected data were processed using SPSS 22.0 and were analyzed using means, standard deviations, t-tests, an ANOVA, Scheffe’s test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Results : Nursing college students showed means of 2.36 ± 0.54 points in life stress, 1.03 ± 0.41 points in sleep quality, and 2.95 ± 0.57 points in mental health. The analysis of correlations between life stress, sleep quality, and mental health in nursing college students showed a statistically significant positive correlation between life stress and sleep quality (r = .432, p < .001). In addition, statistically significant negative correlations were found between life stress and mental health (r = -.589, p < .001) as well as between mental health and sleep quality (r = -.301, p < .001).
Discussion : Replication studies with larger numbers of subjects are required. Based on the present study, systematic studies on factors affecting life stress, sleep quality, and mental health are also necessary. Moreover, programs should be developed to reduce life stress as well as improve sleep quality and mental health.
