Analysis on Convergent Factors related to the Hopelessness of Health College Students

Abstract

This study investigates the convergence relationship of factors related to hopelessness among some health college students to identify the advantage of data analysis in the field of health care. The questionnaire was conducted using an unregistered self-administered questionnaire for 214 students from a college located in J area from October 1, 2018 to October 31, 2018. The hierarchical multiple regression analysis shows the following results. The hopelessness of respondents turned out to be significantly higher in following groups: a group in which academic burnout is higher, a group in which anxiety is higher, and a group in which psychosocial stress is higher. The results show explanatory power of 43.3%. And this indicates that the efforts to decrease academic burnout, anxiety, and psychosocial stress are required to decrease hopelessness among health college students. These results can be used to guide college life counseling to lower hopelessness among health college students. It is also expected to be used for efficient data analysis of health problems. Further research requires the development of sophisticated data analysis techniques and procedures that can be used more efficiently in health care.
