BACKGROUND
Nursing students either possess positive or negative attitudes and perceptions about the nursing profession. Their attitudes towards the profession depict the quality of care they will offer to patients upon qualification. This study aimed to determine the attitudes and perceptions of undergraduate nursing students towards their profession.
METHODS
This equal-status mixed methods study involved a census sample of 165 nursing students from year one to year four in two public universities in Uganda. Attitude Scale for Nursing Profession was used to collect quantitative data in the period between 20/11/2021 and 22/01/2022. Focus group discussions were held to collect qualitative data about the perceptions.
RESULTS
Majority of the students (81.8%) had positive attitudes towards the nursing profession. There was a significant difference in attitudes based on year of study and entry scheme (R2 = 0.12, F = 2.21, p = 0.01). Nursing was perceived as a poorly remunerated, unpopular profession with bias towards recruitment of lower cadres.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study showed that the attitudes of undergraduate nursing students towards the nursing profession were positive but their perceptions about the nursing profession were negative. An interventional study is recommended to facilitate a more positive change among nursing students.
背景
护理专业的学生对护理行业持有积极或消极的态度和看法。他们对该行业的态度描绘了他们在获得资格后将为患者提供的护理质量。本研究旨在确定本科护理专业学生对其专业的态度和看法。
方法
本项同等地位的混合方法研究，对乌干达两所公立大学一至四年级的 165 名护理专业学生进行了普查。在 2021 年 11 月 20 日至 2022 年 1 月 22 日期间，使用护理专业态度量表收集定量数据。还进行了焦点小组讨论，以收集有关看法的定性数据。
结果
大多数学生（81.8%）对护理行业持积极态度。学生的态度因学习年限和入学计划而存在显著差异（R2 = 0.12，F = 2.21，p = 0.01）。护理被认为是一个薪酬低、不受欢迎的职业，对招聘低级别人员存在偏见。
结论
本研究结果表明，本科护理专业学生对护理行业的态度是积极的，但他们对护理行业的看法是消极的。建议进行干预性研究，以促进护理学生态度的积极转变。
