The aim of this study was to explore the attitudes of Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) students towards the nursing profession.
A sample of 377 students (male = 130; female = 247) were selected from different colleges of SQU, including the College of Nursing. A questionnaire was constructed and validated to assess the attitudes of SQU students towards the nursing profession.
Findings revealed that both male and female students in all academic years and colleges had positive attitudes toward the nursing profession. The findings also revealed that gender and academic year created no significant differences (P <0.05) among the study participants, but that the students' college affiliation did have a significant effect on their attitudes. In particular, nursing students had more positive attitudes than students of other colleges.
Findings indicated that the attitudes of SQU students towards the nursing profession were positive, especially those of the nursing students. This means that serious efforts should be made to continue to promote the nursing profession and so ensure that it remains positively regarded by all concerned.
本研究旨在探讨苏丹卡布斯大学（SQU）学生对护理专业的态度。
从SQU的不同学院（包括护理学院）选取了377名学生样本（男生 = 130名；女生 = 247名）。构建并验证了一份问卷，以评估SQU学生对护理专业的态度。
研究结果显示，所有学年和学院的男女生对护理专业都持积极态度。研究结果还显示，性别和学年在研究参与者之间没有产生显著差异（P <0.05），但学生所属学院对他们的态度确实有显著影响。特别是，护理专业的学生比其他学院的学生态度更为积极。
研究结果表明，SQU学生对护理专业的态度是积极的，尤其是护理专业的学生。这意味着应做出认真努力，继续推广护理专业，以确保它继续受到所有相关人员的积极看待。
