간호대학생을 위한 대인관계조화 프로그램의 효과 (Effects of an Interpersonal Relationship Harmony Program on Nursing Students)

본 연구는 간호대학생의 대인관계증진을 위해 대인관계조화이론을 적용한 대인관계조화 프로그램을 개발하고 8주간 수행한 후 프로그램의 효과를 검증하였다.
연구결과 대인관계조화, 대인관계능력, 능동적 갈등완화방식은 향상되고, 능동적 갈등격화방식과 대인관계 불안은 감소되는 효과가 있었다. 따라서 본 프로그램이 간호대학생의 대학생활에서의 원만한 교우관계형성은 물론 예비 간호사로서 졸업 후 원만한 대인관계소통으로 간호사로서의 업무를 효과적으로 수행하는데 기여할 수 있을 것이라 생각한다. 그러므로 본 프로그램을 간호대학생의 대인관계증진을 위한 교육프로그램으로 직접 활용할 것을 권장한다. 또한, 대인관계조화 프로그램의 효과를 재확인하기 위해 무작위 통제군 연구(randomized clinical trial[RCT])로 효과를 비교, 확인하는 반복연구를 제언한다.
