A correlation exists between professional identity (PI), hope, and job satisfaction that warrants interventional measures to reverse nurse turnover. Developing, nurturing, and improving nurses' PI can positively address nurse turnover.
The purpose of this study was to examine the intersections between career motivation, PI formation, and belongingness in prelicensure nursing students.
As part of a larger mixed-methods study, a quantitative survey was disseminated to students.
Findings suggest significant connections between the depth of perceived PI, motivation to enter the field, and future orientation(s) that are mediated through classroom instruction. PI was shaped by student relationships, confidence, and autonomy.
Findings underscore the importance of academic intentionality in incorporating PI early in nursing education. Prioritizing quality bedside experiences to develop meaningful relationships while simultaneously increasing confidence and autonomy to assist the nursing student in connecting with their PI is key.
职业认同感(PI)、希望和工作满意度之间存在关联,这表明需要采取干预措施来扭转护士流失的局面。培养、培育和提升护士的职业认同感能够积极应对护士流失问题。
本研究旨在探讨预执业护理专业学生的职业动机、职业认同感形成与归属感之间的交叉点。
作为一项更大规模混合方法研究的一部分,向学生发放了定量调查问卷。
研究结果表明,通过课堂教学介导,感知到的职业认同感深度、进入该领域的动机和未来取向之间存在显著联系。职业认同感受学生关系、信心和自主性的影响。
研究结果强调了在护理教育早期纳入职业认同感的学术意图的重要性。优先安排高质量的床边实习经历以建立有意义的关系,同时增强信心和自主性,以帮助护理专业学生与他们的职业认同感建立联系,这是关键。
