Graduate nursing students experience considerable stress due to their multiple responsibilities, including professional responsibilities, graduate coursework and family commitments. Peer support can help graduate students overcome stress and may heavily influence their learning satisfaction. However, the mechanisms underlying the influence of peer support on learning satisfaction in graduate students remain unclear. Thus, this cross-sectional study examined the relationship between peer support, achievement emotions (learner-specific emotions related to achievement activities) and learning satisfaction, as well as the mediating effects of achievement emotions among 225 graduate nursing students working in the Korean health care system. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing these variables. Pearson correlation was conducted to investigate the relationship between the variables and Baron and Kenny's regression analysis and Sobel test were conducted to examine the mediating effects of achievement emotions. Peer support correlated positively with positive achievement emotions and learning satisfaction and negatively with negative emotions. Positive emotions were positively and negative emotions were negatively, correlated with learning satisfaction. Achievement emotions mediated the relationship between peer support and learning satisfaction. Our findings indicate that peer support plays an important role in improving learning satisfaction, emphasizing the advantages of positive emotions and the disadvantages of negative emotions in graduate nursing students.
研究生护理学生由于其多重责任而经历相当大的压力，包括专业责任、研究生课程和家庭承诺。同伴支持可以帮助研究生克服压力，并且可能会严重影响他们的学习满意度。然而，同伴支持对研究生学习满意度的影响机制尚不清楚。因此，这项横断面研究调查了同伴支持、成就情绪（与成就活动相关的特定于学习者的情绪）和学习满意度之间的关系，以及在韩国医疗保健系统中工作的 225 名研究生护理学生中成就情绪的中介作用。参与者完成了一份评估这些变量的问卷。进行 Pearson 相关分析以探讨变量之间的关系，Baron 和 Kenny 的回归分析和 Sobel 检验用于检验成就情绪的中介作用。同伴支持与积极的成就情绪和学习满意度呈正相关，与消极情绪呈负相关。积极情绪与学习满意度呈正相关，消极情绪与学习满意度呈负相关。成就情绪在同伴支持和学习满意度之间起中介作用。我们的研究结果表明，同伴支持在提高学习满意度方面发挥着重要作用，强调了积极情绪和消极情绪对研究生护理学生的优势和劣势。
