The survey was administered to 419 college women in Honam area from March 9th to April 30th, 2015. The structured self-administered questionaries were used. The depression was negatively correlated with positive emotion and it was positively correlated with negative emotion and job seeking stress. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis show the following. The depression of respondents turned out to be significantly higher in following groups: a group in which self esteem is lower, a group in which subjective happiness is lower, a group in which hopelessness is higher, a group in which type A behavior pattern is higher, a group in which personality stress is higher. Their explanatory power was 47.1%. With the analysis of covariance structure, we could confirm relationship among the four factors such as positive emotion, negative emotion, job seeking stress and depression. In conclusion, the results of the study indicate that the efforts, to increase positive emotion, and to decrease negative emotion and job seeking stress, are required to reduce the depression level of the college women of health affiliated educations.

본 연구는 보건계열 여대생들의 긍정정서, 부정정서 및 취업스트레스와 우울 간의 관련성을 파악하고 우울에 미치는 융복합적 영향을 분석하였다. 조사대상은 호남지역의 4개 대학에서 임의로 선정된 419명으로 하였으며, 자료수집은 2015년 3월 9일부터 4월 30일까지 자기기입식 설문지를 통해 이루어졌다. 우울은 긍정정서와 유의한 음의 상관관계를, 부정정서 및 취업스트레스와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과, 자아존중감이 낮을수록, 주관적행복이 낮을수록, 절망감이 높을수록, A형행동유행이 높을수록, 성격스트레스가 높을수록 우울수준이 높았으며 이들의 설명력은 47.1%이었다. 공분산 구조분석 결과, 긍정정서, 부정정서 및 취업스트레스와 우울의 인과관계가 확인되었다. 이상의 연구결과를 볼 때, 보건계열 여대생들의 우울수준을 낮추기 위해서는 긍정정서를 높이고 부정정서 및 취업스트레스를 낮추는 노력이 필요하다.
