Considering the traditional female nature of the nursing field, male nursing students often experience a strong urge to leave the profession. A robust professional identity (PI) is crucial for male nurses, as it can alleviate professional stress and enhance their willingness to remain in the field. Among full-time nursing vocational education programs, the consecutive secondary and higher vocational nursing (CSAHVN) stands out for offering comprehensive and advanced professional education, leading to the cultivation of highly skilled nurses. Nevertheless, the predictive factors influencing male nursing students' PI during their CSAHVN education remain poorly understood.
Convenience sampling was used to recruit male students in the CSAHVN education from two vocational schools. Data on PI, self-consistency and congruence, perceived social support and psychological resilience were collected using questionnaires.
The average score for male nursing students' PI was 3.85 (SD = 0.68). The total scores and sub-dimensions of self-consistency and congruence, perceived social support, and psychological resilience demonstrated significant correlations with PI. Multivariate analyses identified motivation and interest in nursing profession, along with sub-dimensions of self-consistency and congruence (self-flexibility), psychological resilience (tenacity), and perceived social support (family support) ( < 0.01) as principal predictors of the PI among male CSAHVN students, with three-dimensional scatter plots demonstrating superior predictive capacity of tenacity and self-flexibility.
Our findings underscore the necessity for systemic interventions in educational innovations that strengthen professional commitment and foster family-school collaboration to enhance tenacity and self-flexibility, which are essential to counteract gender stereotypes and thereby increase the PI of male students in CSAHVN education.
鉴于护理领域传统上女性占主导，男护生往往有强烈的离职倾向。稳固的职业认同感（PI）对男护士至关重要，因为它可以减轻职业压力并增强他们留在该领域的意愿。在全日制护理职业教育项目中，连贯的中等和高等职业护理（CSAHVN）因其提供全面且先进的专业教育，培养出高技能护士而脱颖而出。然而，在CSAHVN教育期间影响男护生职业认同感的预测因素仍知之甚少。
采用便利抽样法从两所职业学校招募接受CSAHVN教育的男学生。使用问卷收集有关职业认同感、自我一致性与和谐性、感知到的社会支持和心理韧性的数据。
男护生职业认同感的平均得分为3.85（标准差=0.68）。自我一致性与和谐性、感知到的社会支持和心理韧性的总分及子维度与职业认同感呈显著相关。多变量分析确定，对护理职业的动机和兴趣，以及自我一致性与和谐性的子维度（自我灵活性）、心理韧性（坚韧性）和感知到的社会支持（家庭支持）（<0.01）是CSAHVN男学生职业认同感的主要预测因素，三维散点图显示坚韧性和自我灵活性具有更强的预测能力。
我们的研究结果强调了在教育创新中进行系统干预的必要性，这些干预措施应加强职业承诺并促进家庭 - 学校合作，以增强坚韧性和自我灵活性，这对于消除性别刻板印象从而提高CSAHVN教育中男学生的职业认同感至关重要。
