To compare anger, anger expression, life stress and social support among female students at a nursing university and a general university and to examine factors affecting anger in each group.
University students typically experience constant stress resulting from factors like academic requirements, personal relationships and career decisions; this tends to promote anger. Particularly, nursing students' anger can negatively affect the quality of care that they provide, and also their mental health. Therefore, anger management of nursing students is very important in the training and development of future nurses. Nursing education needs to confirm factors associated with anger of nursing students compared with general university students to develop specific intervention programs for decreasing their anger levels.
A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used.
Participants were 286 female students (146 from a nursing university and 140 from a general university); they completed self-report surveys examining anger, anger expression, life stress and social support. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was done to identify factors affecting anger. Data were collected from 15 May-10 June 2016.
RESULTS/FINDINGS: In the stepwise multiple regression analysis, we entered three anger expression factors, eight life stress factors and social support as explanatory variables; factors affecting anger among nursing students were anger-out and same-sex peer relationship stress. In general university students, anger-out, anger-control and anger-in were identified as factors affecting anger.
Becoming proficient in beneficial anger expression techniques and reducing stress from same-sex peer relationships will reduce anger among female nursing students.
比较护理专业女大学生和综合大学女大学生的愤怒、愤怒表达、生活压力和社会支持，并探讨影响两组人群愤怒的因素。
大学生通常会经历各种持续的压力，包括学业要求、人际关系和职业决策等因素，这些压力往往会导致愤怒情绪的产生。特别是，护理专业学生的愤怒情绪可能会对她们提供的护理质量产生负面影响，同时也会影响她们的心理健康。因此，对护理专业学生的愤怒情绪进行管理对于培养未来护士非常重要。护理教育需要确定与护理专业学生愤怒情绪相关的因素，以便与综合大学的学生进行比较，从而为降低护理学生的愤怒水平制定特定的干预计划。
采用描述性、横断面设计。
研究对象为 286 名女性学生（护理大学 146 名，综合大学 140 名）；她们完成了自我报告调查，内容包括愤怒、愤怒表达、生活压力和社会支持。采用逐步多元回归分析来确定影响愤怒的因素。数据收集时间为 2016 年 5 月 15 日至 6 月 10 日。
结果/发现：在逐步多元回归分析中，我们将三种愤怒表达因素、八种生活压力因素和社会支持作为解释变量；影响护理专业学生愤怒的因素是愤怒外显和同性同伴关系压力。在综合大学学生中，愤怒外显、愤怒控制和愤怒内隐被确定为影响愤怒的因素。
熟练掌握有益的愤怒表达技巧和减少同性同伴关系的压力将有助于降低护理专业女学生的愤怒情绪。
