Developing countries face a shortage of nurses with higher education, such as those with a master's degree. However, few studies have investigated the interaction between career decision and professional commitment (PC) of nursing students, especially for postgraduates. This study performed correlation analysis for career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) and PC of 545 nursing postgraduate students from nursing schools at 19 universities or colleges throughout mainland China, who came from different regions, and possessed different years of study and different types of degrees as well as part-time job experiences. Data reliability and validity were confirmed for both Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale for university students (CDMSE-R) and Professional Commitment Questionnaire (PCQ). We found positive correlations between factors of PC and CDMSE. The score of CDMSE was different between regions, degree types, grades, and part-time job experiences. According to our results, we suggest nursing education or career advisory services should promote the PC of nursing students according to factors of their CDMSE scores.
发展中国家面临着受过高等教育的护士短缺的问题，比如拥有硕士学位的护士。然而，很少有研究调查护理专业学生职业决策与专业承诺（PC）之间的相互作用，尤其是研究生。本研究对来自中国大陆19所高校护理学院的545名护理研究生的职业决策自我效能感（CDMSE）和专业承诺进行了相关性分析，这些学生来自不同地区，有不同的学习年限、学位类型以及兼职工作经历。大学生职业决策自我效能量表（CDMSE-R）和专业承诺问卷（PCQ）的数据可靠性和有效性均得到了证实。我们发现专业承诺的各因素与职业决策自我效能感之间存在正相关。职业决策自我效能感的得分在地区、学位类型、年级和兼职工作经历方面存在差异。根据我们的研究结果，我们建议护理教育或职业咨询服务应根据护理专业学生职业决策自我效能感得分的因素来提升他们的专业承诺。
