The aim of this study was to examine attitudes and knowledge regarding career planning after graduation, as well as the perceived educational environment of a pediatric clinical course, among nursing students at Menoufia University in Egypt. This study also investigated the influence of the perceived educational environment on future career planning among nursing students.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was used, with a structured interview questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, a section that measured students' attitudes and knowledge toward their career planning, and the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure Scale (DREEM).
The mean total score for the DREEM scale was 109.61, and most students perceived many areas within the program as more positive than negative. However, they had low levels of knowledge regarding career planning.
Based on the findings of this study, further efforts should be made to stimulate students' interest in pediatric nursing, to integrate theoretical content with practice, and to improve their planning activities early during their study. It is important to engage students in discussions concerning their ideas and worries about factors they perceive as less enhancing and more threatening in clinical settings.
本研究旨在调查埃及梅努菲亚大学护理专业学生对毕业后职业规划的态度和知识,以及对儿科临床课程教育环境的认知。本研究还探讨了护理专业学生对教育环境的认知对其未来职业规划的影响。
采用描述性横断面研究方法,使用结构化访谈问卷,问卷包括人口统计学特征、测量学生对职业规划的态度和知识的部分,以及邓迪教育环境量表(DREEM)。
DREEM量表的平均总分是109.61,大多数学生认为该课程中的许多方面积极多于消极。然而,他们对职业规划的知识水平较低。
基于本研究的结果,应进一步努力激发学生对儿科护理的兴趣,将理论内容与实践相结合,并在学习早期改进他们的规划活动。让学生参与有关他们对临床环境中认为不太有利和更具威胁性的因素的想法和担忧的讨论很重要。
