Social consensus in the nursing industry is that the job is accompanied by dirtiness. It is generally accepted that negative cognition about a career is an important determinant in reducing nursing students' professional commitment. However, the impact of nursing students' perceived work dirtiness on professional commitment and its mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the association between perceived work dirtiness and professional commitment and to examine the mediating role of career adaptability and the moderating role of social support among nursing students in mainland China.
A cross-sectional online study was conducted among 341 nursing students from three medical universities in Henan, China. The participants' perceived work dirtiness, career adaptability, professional commitment, and social support were obtained. SPSS 26.0 and Amos 23.0 software were used for the statistical analysis.
Perceived work dirtiness was negatively related to career adaptability and professional commitment (P < 0.001). Career adaptability played a partial mediating role (β= -0.177, P < 0.001) in the relationship between perceived work dirtiness and professional commitment. Social support played a moderating role (β = 0.134, P < 0.01) in the relationship between perceived work dirtiness and career adaptability. Moreover, social support moderates the mediating role of career adaptability.
Nursing students' perceived work dirtiness is an important factor in reducing professional commitment. Therefore, nursing educators must enhance courses focusing on professional qualities, providing avenues for nursing students to access social support. This proactive approach aims to mitigate the adverse impact of perceived work dirtiness on professional commitment among nursing students.
护理行业的社会共识是该工作伴随着脏污。人们普遍认为，对某一职业的负面认知是降低护生职业承诺的一个重要决定因素。然而，护生对工作脏污的认知对职业承诺的影响及其机制仍不清楚。本研究旨在分析工作脏污认知与职业承诺之间的关联，并探讨职业适应能力的中介作用以及社会支持在中国大陆护生中的调节作用。
对来自中国河南三所医科大学的341名护生进行了一项横断面在线研究。获取了参与者对工作脏污的认知、职业适应能力、职业承诺和社会支持情况。使用SPSS 26.0和Amos 23.0软件进行统计分析。
工作脏污认知与职业适应能力和职业承诺呈负相关（P < 0.001）。职业适应能力在工作脏污认知与职业承诺之间的关系中起部分中介作用（β = -0.177，P < 0.001）。社会支持在工作脏污认知与职业适应能力之间的关系中起调节作用（β = 0.134，P < 0.01）。此外，社会支持调节职业适应能力的中介作用。
护生对工作脏污的认知是降低职业承诺的一个重要因素。因此，护理教育工作者必须加强注重专业素质的课程，为护生提供获得社会支持的途径。这种积极主动的方法旨在减轻工作脏污认知对护生职业承诺的不利影响。
