다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between depression and self-esteem according to MBTI personality type among nursing students. Data were collected using a structured depression and self-esteem questionnaire from nursing students from May to June 2023. The data were analyzed using the independent t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's post hoc test, and Pearson correlation analysis in SPSS 24.0. The results showed that 55.1% of the nursing students were not depressed, 18.6% were mildly depressed, 9.6% were moderately depressed, and 16.8% were severely depressed, which indicated that almost half of the students experienced depression. This depression was not influenced by MBTI personality type (F=0.961, p =0.499) but was significantly affected by type of dwelling (F=4.594, p =0.011), satisfaction with chosen major (F=17.651, p <.001), and school adjustment (F=27.361, p <.001). On the other hand, self-esteem was dependent on MBTI (F=2.032, p =0.016), grades (t=5.088, p =0.002), and having a boyfriend/girlfriend (t=5.132, p =0.025). Furthermore, depression was negatively correlated with self-esteem (r=-.640, p <.001). This study shows that depression is not significantly dependent on an individual's MBTI personality type. To improve nursing student self-esteem, more effort is needed to help students adjust to college life.
