|
Purpose: This study aimed to provide the baseline data for improving happiness under the influences of nursing professionalism and gratitude disposition in senior nursing students.
Methods: The data were collected from 205 senior students in B and D metropolitan cities by structured questionnaires between November 1 and November 30, 2015. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analyses with SPSS/WIN 18.0.
Results: The mean score for happiness was above-average. Happiness significantly differed by satisfaction with nursing, perceived physical health status, and reason for entering nursing school. The significant predictors of happiness included gratitude disposition, social awareness and professionalism of nursing among subscales of nursing professional value, and perceived physical health status. The regression model explained 45.5% of happiness.
Conclusion: To improve the happiness of senior nursing students, nursing educators need to develop intervention programs to increase gratitude disposition and perceived physical health status, as well as specific educational programs that strengthen social awareness and professionalism in nursing students.
