Purpose: This study aimed to identify a relationship between the communication competence and social anxiety in nursing students.
Methods: With a cross-sectional survey, a convenience sampling of 303 nursing students was taken from P-university in Y-city. The instrument for the study was a questionnaire that is consisted of the general characteristics, an Interaction Anxiousness Scale (IAS) and a Global Interpersonal Communication Competence Scale (GICC). Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson¡¯s correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS version 21.0.
Results: The mean score of the IAS was 41.89¡¾8.74 and the GICC was 3.51¡¾0.34. Communication competence significantly differed by the satisfaction of major (F=10.86, p<.001). In addition, the satisfaction of interpersonal relationships was significantly different in both communication competence (F=17.52, p<.001) and social anxiety (F=23.85, p<.001). Social anxiety had a negative correlation with communication competence (r=-.48, p<.001). Social anxiety accounted for 55.3% of the variance -social relaxation (¥â=-.62), assertiveness (¥â=-.18), interaction management (¥â =.14) and efficiency (¥â=-.13)- of communication competence¡¯s subcategories.
