The present study aimed to examine the relationship between the quality of undergraduate education perceived by novice nurses and their retrospective satisfaction with their education. It also studied the relationships between the perceived usefulness of their education for their current jobs and the quality of the jobs held by novice nursing professionals. The moderator role of mobility in this relationship was also analyzed, as it reflects a boundary condition in which additional preparation or job opportunities may occur. The study used data from the graduates' survey carried out by the Agència per a la Qualitat del Sistema Universitari de Catalunya (AQU) in 2017. The analysis of data from 644 graduates of Catalan Universities in 2014 highlights different functions of two types of knowledge and skills; those directly related to science and the practice of nursing are stronger predictors of retrospective satisfaction with nursing education. In turn, the perception of the usefulness of horizontal skills, such as transversal and communication skills, plays a stronger role in predicting job quality. The results about the role of mobility were not conclusive, and more research is needed to clarify its influence on nursing education and subsequent professional practice.
本研究旨在探讨新手护士对本科教育质量的感知与其对教育的回顾性满意度之间的关系。它还研究了他们对教育对当前工作的有用性与新手护理专业人员工作质量之间的关系。此外，还分析了流动性在这种关系中的调节作用，因为它反映了一个边界条件，即可能会有额外的准备或工作机会。该研究使用了 2017 年加泰罗尼亚大学质量评估机构（AQU）进行的毕业生调查的数据。对 2014 年加泰罗尼亚大学 644 名毕业生数据的分析突出了两种类型的知识和技能的不同功能；与科学和护理实践直接相关的知识和技能是预测对护理教育回顾性满意度的更强指标。反过来，对横向技能（如跨学科和沟通技能）的感知有用性在预测工作质量方面发挥着更强的作用。关于流动性作用的结果并不确定，需要进一步研究来阐明其对护理教育和后续专业实践的影响。
