This study aimed to understand the career decision types of nursing college students and accordingly identify their career identity, satisfaction with major, and career stress.
Convenience sampling was used to recruit nursing students (N = 220) attending the same college in Korea. Data were collected from May 1 to May 30, 2017. General characteristics included sex, grade, religion, extracurricular activities, and motive for their nursing major choice. The instruments included career decision type, career identity, satisfaction with major, and career stress.
Total cases of clusters showed 79 (39.5%) individuals in the undecided-uncomfortable type, 75 (37.5%) in decided-comfortable, 32 (16.0%) in undecided-comfortable, and 14 (7.0%) in decided-uncomfortable. The results indicated statistically significant differences in grade (P = .001), religion (P = .040), nursing major selection motive (P = .030), career identity (P < .001), satisfaction with major (P < .001), and career stress (P < .001) by career decision type.
Customized career education programs should be provided to nursing students to improve their career identity and satisfaction with major, while lowering career stress, considering career decision-comfort and decidedness, along with the reasons why some students find career decisions emotionally uncomfortable.
本研究旨在了解护理专业大学生的职业决策类型，并据此确定他们的职业认同、专业满意度和职业压力。
采用便利抽样法招募韩国同一所大学的护理专业学生（N = 220名）。于2017年5月1日至5月30日收集数据。一般特征包括性别、年级、宗教信仰、课外活动以及选择护理专业的动机。所使用的工具包括职业决策类型、职业认同、专业满意度和职业压力。
聚类分析的总病例数显示，79例（39.5%）为未决定-不舒适型，75例（37.5%）为已决定-舒适型，32例（16.0%）为未决定-舒适型，14例（7.0%）为已决定-不舒适型。结果表明，按职业决策类型划分，在年级（P = .001）、宗教信仰（P = .040）、护理专业选择动机（P = .030）、职业认同（P < .001）、专业满意度（P < .001）和职业压力（P < .001）方面存在统计学上的显著差异。
应针对护理专业学生提供定制化的职业教育项目，以提高他们的职业认同和专业满意度，同时降低职业压力，需考虑职业决策的舒适度和确定性，以及部分学生在职业决策时感到情绪上不舒适的原因。
