Abstract:

 

We studied the convergence relationship of factors related to hopelessness among some college students majoring in health science. The investigation was performed during the period from October 1, 2018 to October 31, 2018 targeting randomly-selected 214 students from a college located in J area. The hopelessness of respondents according to general characteristics turned out to be significantly higher in following groups: low age, unsatisfactory family life, poor school record, bad relationships with friends, unsatisfactory school life, and poor subjective health status. The score of hopelessness are significantly higher in severe academic burnout group, severe anxiety group, and severe psychosocial stress group. And this indicates that the efforts to decrease academic burnout, anxiety, and psychosocial stress are required to decrease hopelessness among college students majoring in health science. These results can be used to guide college life counseling to lower hopelessness among college students majoring in health science.
