본 연구는 간호대학생의 성격특성 및 스트레스 대처방식이 임상실습 스트레스에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 간호대학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하여 총 88부를 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0 프로그램으로 분석되었다. 연구결과, 성격특성 중 신경증(r=.356, p=.001)과 스트레스 대처방식(r=.285, p=.007)이 임상실습 스트레스와 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 신경증(β=.31)은 임상실습 스트레스에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요인이었고, 그 다음이 소극적 대처방식(β=.27)이었다. 이 변수들은 간호대학생의 임상실습 스트레스를 18% 설명하였다. 따라서 간호대학생들이 임상실습 스트레스에 효과적으로 대처할 수 있도록 하는 성격특성 및 대처방식 강화를 위한 프로그램 개발이 필요하다. 중심단어: 간호대학생, 임상실습 스트레스, 성격특성, 스트레스 대처방식

본 연구는 임상 간호사의 스트레스를 감소시키기 위한 프로그램을 개발하기 위한 전 단계로써, 임상 간호사의 감성지능, 마음챙김, 스트레스 변수 사이에서 마음챙김의 매개효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 임상 간호사 151명에게 감성지능(The Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale), 마음챙김(Mindfulness scale), 스트레스(Stress Response Inventory) 의 수준을 조사하고, Baron과 Kenny(1986)의 매개효과 분석법에 따라 단계적 회귀분석을 하였다. 마음챙김을 매개변수로 한 모델과 감성지능을 매개변수로 한 모델을 비교한 결과, 감성지능과 스트레스의 관계에서 마음챙김의매개효과를 확인하였다. 본 연구는 임상 간호사의 마음챙김을 강화하면 스트레스를 감소시킬 수 있으며, 임상 간호사에게 적합한 마음챙김 훈련 프로그램을 개발하여 중재하는 것이 필요하다고 시사한다.
