Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing adjustment to college life by nursing students.
Methods: The participants were 260 nursing students. Data were collected from May to July in 2015. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlational coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS WIN 23.0 program.
Results: The mean scores of adjustment to college life (60.36±9.53), clinical practice stress (69.15± 12.28), employment stress (51.03±14.74), stress coping style (62.05±9.39), major satisfaction (6.34±1.74), satisfaction with college life (6.07±1.78), and satisfaction with practice (5.97±1.83) were more than half of the measurement range. Among general and health-related characteristics, sex, religion, family’s economic status, personality, school records, and subjective health status showed significant differences in the score of adjustment to college life. Adjustment to college life was significantly higher when the stress coping style was problem-focused coping (Model 3 ?=.35, p ＜.001), participants were male (Model 2 female ?=?.14, p =.008), participants had a religion (Model 3 ?=.15, p =.002), personality was extroverted or general (Model 2 introverted ?=?.11, p =.038), and school record was higher (Model 3 middle ?=.23. p ＜.001; high ?=.28, p ＜.001). The combined explanatory power of these variables was 42% (F=14.44 , p ＜.001).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, we need to consider different approaches according to students’ school record and use of stress coping styles, especially emotion-focused coping style, for college nursing students to improve their adjustment to college life.
