Current literature has paid increasing attention to the factors influencing career decisions; nevertheless, few studies have compared candidates that have chosen a nursing versus a non-nursing degree. A multicenter, cross-sectional study design was performed to explore whether or not certain individual variables and having inaccurate data about nursing as a profession influenced the choice of a non-nursing degree. Six non-nursing and three nursing degree programs offered by two public Italian universities were involved. A total of 507 students who had just enrolled in non-nursing degree programs and 202 in nursing degree programs were invited to complete a questionnaire comprising 12 closed items. Overall, from 40.0% to 57.1% of the variation in choosing a degree other than nursing was explained by variables such as age, and having inaccurate data on the nursing profession. For each year over 19 years of age, the likelihood that the student would decide to enroll in a nursing degree program increases. For each wrong answer reported on the questionnaire evaluating knowledge on nursing profession, there was a reduction of approximately six times in the likelihood that the student would enroll in a nursing degree program. Information regarding the nursing profession should be offered in early stages of life; in addition, offering accurate data on the profession is a key factor in evaluating the congruence of the career with the individual's personal motivations, aspirations, and talents.
当前文献越来越关注影响职业决策的因素；然而，很少有研究比较选择护理学位与非护理学位的候选人。本研究采用多中心横断面研究设计，以探讨某些个体变量以及对护理职业存在不准确认知是否会影响非护理学位的选择。研究涉及意大利两所公立大学提供的六个非护理学位项目和三个护理学位项目。共邀请了507名刚入学的非护理学位项目学生和202名护理学位项目学生填写一份包含12个封闭式问题的问卷。总体而言，年龄、对护理职业认知不准确等变量解释了40.0%至57.1%选择非护理学位的差异。19岁以上每增加一岁，学生决定攻读护理学位项目的可能性就增加。在评估护理专业知识的问卷中，每答错一题，学生攻读护理学位项目的可能性就降低约六倍。应在人生早期提供有关护理职业的信息；此外，提供关于该职业的准确信息是评估职业与个人动机、抱负和才能匹配度的关键因素。
