The purpose of this study was to examine the relation among self-esteem, self-efficacy, coping methods, and the academic and job-seeking stress of nursing students.
Data were collected though self-reported questionnaires from 221 nursing students living in D city from 10. September to 30. September in 2002. The data collected were analyzed using mean, S.D., t-test. ANOVA, Scheffe. and Pearson Correlation Coefficients with SAS.
The results were as follows :
1. The academic and job-seeking stress of the high self-esteem group was significantly lower than that of the low self-esteem group. The academic and job-seeking stress of the high self-efficacy group was significantly lower than that of the low self-efficacy group. The problem-focus coping of the high self-esteem group was significantly lower than that of the low self-esteem group. The problem-focus coping of the high self-efficacy group was significantly lower than that of the low self-efficacy group.
2. There was a significant correlation between self-esteem and the academic and job-seeking stress(r = -.30, p=.000). The relation between self-esteem and coping methods revealed significant correlation(r-. 18, p = .007). There was a significant correlation between selfefficacy and the academic and job-seeking stress(r--.36. p=.000). The relation between self-efficacy and coping methods revealed significant correlation(r=.18, p=.006).
