Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of nursing students' perception of emerging infectious disease, ethical awareness and nurse image on their career identity in a pandemic situation.
Methods: Data were collected from 247 nursing students within universities of Daejeon, Gimcheon and Yeongdong area from May 18 to June 20, 2020. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis.
Results: The subjects of this study had high level of perception of novel infectious disease (3.72¡¾0.43), ethical awareness in pandemic situations (4.06¡¾0.48), and nurse image (4.07¡¾0.49), but low level of career identity (1.99¡¾0.51). Career identify was significantly correlated with perception of novel infectious disease (r=.18, p=.005), ethical awareness in pandemic situation (r=.16, p=.011), and nurse image (r=.32, p<.001). However, excluding grade and residential area among the general characteristics, only the nurse image (¥â=.35, p<.001) was identified as a factor influencing career identity, and the explanatory power was 13.1%.
Conclusion: To increase the career identity of nursing students, it is necessary to raise professional nurses¡¯ social awareness and develop a positive nurse image.
