ABSTRACT
This study was conducted on nursing college students to understand stress experiences, eating habits, healthy lifestyle, level of wellness, and their relationship. The purpose of the study is to collect basic data for preparing measures to improve the wellness of nursing college students. The data were collected from 167 nursing students at K University in G-do from September 15th to September 30th, 2020. The research tool consists of 39 questions of stress experiences, 11 questions of eating habits, 7 questions of a healthy lifestyle, and 29 questions of wellness, and the collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS WIN/25.0. The general characteristics were analyzed by frequency, mean, and standard deviation. For the difference of variables according to the general characteristics, t-test and one-way ANOVA were used in the analysis. The post analysis was conducted using Scheffe's test. The correlation between each variable was analyzed using Pearson's correlation. Based on the results of the study, it was found that stress experiences had an inverse correlation with a healthy lifestyle and a positive correlation with wellness. Eating habits had a positive correlation with a healthy lifestyle and wellness. A healthy lifestyle had a positive correlation with wellness. Reflecting this, to improve wellness, it is necessary to prepare a program that lowers stress experiences and improves eating habits and healthy lifestyles.
