From the East Asian social and cultural perspectives and contexts, this study aimed to understand the relationships and behaviors between nursing students' sense of filial piety and their decision-making behind selecting nursing education as their major. Forty-two traditional-age nursing students (i.e., six men and 36 women) at their final year of a bachelor's degree program in nursing were invited. The findings indicated that many nursing students disliked their university major and the potential career pathway as a nursing professional, as none of them selected the major based on their choice and interest. The environmental context and family's recommendations were the major impacts to influence the decision-making process of the participants. The result also indicated that filial piety, parents' recommendations, and elderly people's suggestions were the key factors to influence the selections and decisions of university major and career development pathways. The study provided a blueprint for related staff and professionals to create and design career counselling and services for East Asian youths to enable life investment and development.
从东亚社会文化的视角和背景出发，本研究旨在了解护理专业学生的孝道意识与其选择护理教育作为专业背后的决策之间的关系和行为。研究邀请了 42 名传统年龄的护理专业学生（即 6 名男性和 36 名女性）参加，他们正处于护理学士学位课程的最后一年。研究结果表明，许多护理专业学生不喜欢他们的大学专业和潜在的护理职业道路，因为他们没有人是基于自己的选择和兴趣选择这个专业的。环境背景和家庭的建议是影响参与者决策过程的主要因素。研究结果还表明，孝道、父母的建议和老年人的建议是影响大学专业选择和职业发展道路选择的关键因素。本研究为相关工作人员和专业人士提供了蓝图，以便为东亚年轻人创造和设计职业咨询和服务，从而实现他们的人生投资和发展。
